Juror 8

The Juror-720P

The Juror-480P

From watching this movie, I gained the insight of how objectivity leads to better decision-making. Judgment based on facts allow for fairness and personal matters should not affect one's decision-making, which is shown when juror 7 berated juror 4 for being judgmental. Juror 4 then taunted juror 7 for living in a poor neighbourhood and accused juror 7 for being biased just because they are in the same social class. However, juror 7 did not retaliate, and she calmly allowed juror 1 to continue his analysis of the case. Juror 7 did not want juror 4's comments to deviate her analysis of the case and affect her judgement. Had she reacted from juror's 4 comments, there would be personal arguments, which will cloud her judgement of the case as she will get emotional instead of being objective. This may result in a biased verdict, which is not ideal. Hence, in order to be more objective and have a clear mind to think critically, juror 7 remained calm and composed, leading to a fairer verdict given.

This is an excellent and unexpectedly touching movie that delivers more than the typical courtroom drama! It was really interesting to see how the jurors slowly changed their minds and their perception towards the case as the movie progresses. Not only was it funny, it was also very thought-provoking as you could see how the characters grapple and overcame their own moral dilemma and moral ambiguity (i.e. The blurred lines between the right and wrong, the nature of guilt and innocence, the flaws in the justice system). As the movie quotes, "When in doubt, consider the defendant's interest", once again highlighting the importance of understanding each other's interests and putting one's self other's shoes. This movie has nicely captured the essence of moral complexity, challenging my personal perception of justice and human nature as a whole. Overall, really worth the watch!

Apart from the topic of negotiations, the movie also talks about the importance of strategic communicating, and how cognitive biases could get in the way of making decisions for the betterment of the group/individual. Many scenes show how people of different education levels / societal status are all equally exposed to cognitive biases, and how those can influence anyone to make immoral or emotional decisions. Personally, scenes with empathetic negotiations (surprisingly) seemed effective to me, as valuing emotions and validating their concerns feels like an inclusive and ethical approach that brought out cooperative sides of different characters. It is really cool that the movie is based on a real case!

I watched this movie for an assignment but ended up genuinely liking the movie! The dilemma that each character faced, the complexity of how the issue at hand is being held and the not so straightforward roles and relationship of each characters with each other are very well portrayed. How the characters negotiate and communicate with each other was also very clear to what the character's represent, and the pacing of the movie is very good. The issue at hand is in essence heavy, but the director also well in put in lighter conversations between some of the characters, which made the movie also more manageable to watch.

The movie 'The Juror' revolves around the case of Kim Du Sik, a middle-aged man who is put on trial for the death of his mother. While the first act of the movie focuses on the circumstances surrounding the crime and selection of the jury, the second act focuses on the discussions held between the jurors, as well as their competing ideas on whether there was sufficient evidence to convict the accused as guilty Albeit the slightly slower pace in the first act, the movie gets off to an exciting crescendo once the negotiations between the jurors begin and their different interests and perspectives are put to the forefront. Adding to the tense negotiations were also the performances of the cast who were able to bring in a mix of poignancy and fervor through their conversations- a reflection of the complexities of the issue at hand. Overall, the movie was well executed and easy to follow with a heartfelt ending.

I watched this movie with zero expectations, solely because of Hyun Sik. The story was generally okay from start to 3/4, where it was I think Korea's first court with juries, hence it was an important one. & while everyone was already convinced who to vote, Hyunsik wanted to make sure he's 100% confident with his vote so they dug deeper. BUT i think the major game changer of this movie was at the end. I didn't expect to bawl my eyes out like crAZY, it really taught me a lot and knowing that it was based on a true story made it even more emotional.

Juror 8 is not only a poignant work of entertainment, but also an accurate depiction of real-life negotiation principles. The film centres on a vaguely-presented incident where a man was suspected of killing his mother. Consequently, eight jurors were appointed to deliberate on the case and decide an appropriate judgment for the suspect. As the title suggests, the "Juror 8" stands out as the driving force of principled negotiation in the plot, but also because of Park Hyung-Sik's solid portrayal of the earnest and tenacious character who never gave up on inventing possible solutions to the mystery and inspiring the other jurors to do likewise. While the movie gets off to a rough and laughable start, please sit through the first arc and be prepared to be awed by an exhilirating yet emotional storyline with twists in every other scene and a message of hope delivered to the hearts of audience.

Completely different from most Korean thrillers. The plot in 80% refers to the masterpiece "12 Angry Man" from 1957. However, it is different - the scenery has been expanded outside the jury room. The movie is interesting and worth watching
