Movie Quote of the Day – 12 Angry Men, 1957 (dir. Sidney Lumet)
Juror #2: It’s hard to put into words. I just think he’s guilty. I thought it was obvious from the word, ‘Go’. Nobody proved otherwise.
Juror #8: Nobody has to prove otherwise. The burden of proof is on the prosecution. The defendant doesn’t even have to open his mouth. That’s in the Constitution.

RIP, Sidney Lumet. I don’t think there are many directorial debuts out there that are a whole lot better than 12 Angry Men.
reading his book Making Movies makes me appreciate all the work he did on this film. truly a master at his craft from the very beginning.
