This is clearly evident in the movie 12 Angry Men. At first, each juror is convinced of his

12 Angry Men Review
The 12 Dos and Don’ts you learn from watching the 12 Angry Men In reviewing this excellent 1957 classic directed by Sidney Lumet about essentially 12 jurors with “life in their hands and death on their minds,” one can draw parallels to the daily choices we make in our lives. I would refer to them as the 12 Dos and Don’ts of our daily walk. The 6 Dos: 1. Have faith in the judicial system.

13th Warrior
Based on the movie "The 13th Warrior" life in Europe during the medieval period seemed to be very barbaric and all about who is the most powerful. Men would crave for battle just to prove they were the strongest and didn't seem to care about life and death. You didn't see too many women in the movie, and that tells me that women didn't play a very large roll in the medieval times. It seemed
