How to evaluate Twelve Citizens? Did the adaptation succeed?

Twelve Citizens is adapted from the American film 12 Angry Men of 1957, which is a well-adapted drama in terms of plot setting and actor's interpretation.

Twelve Citizens is a group portrait work that reflects the reality of China, and it has done a good job in the localization of classics. The most direct performance in the film is the jury system in western France. In developed America, the jury system is an important symbol of democracy and judicial independence. Many people even think that the jury system is more important than democratic elections.

Because democratic election is just to choose a state machine to manage the country, and the jury system determines the trial of a person's fate. In the west where human rights are paramount, the importance of jury system can be imagined.

Twelve Citizens explores common sense through legal themes, truly reflects the current social situation in China with the help of group images, and expresses the pursuit of justice while showing prejudice, trying to practice the current China society with new legal drama texts, so that every audience can have a * * * sound with it, which is also of great practical significance to the film.

In a university of political science and law in summer, students who failed the final exam of Anglo-American Law course ushered in a make-up exam. They formed a court simulating the West, playing the roles of judge, lawyer and prosecutor respectively, and tried a controversial "20-year-old rich second-generation patricide case". 12 students' parents form a jury.

These people come from different social classes, including doctors, real estate agents, security guards, professors and insurance salesmen. They will make a final judgment on the case after hearing it in the student court. These 12 jurors don't know each other, but according to the rules, an agreement must be reached to end the trial.
