I am pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, June 18 we will present 12 ANGRY MEN.
This is a courtroom
drama with a unique twist. We are taken into the jury room. The
twelve men decide the fate of a young man charged with murder. It
appears to be an open-and-shut case; there is no question he did it.
Or did he? One juror has doubt, reasonable doubt.
The deliberations
become a display of and debate on each of the jurors’ own
prejudices and preconceived notions about the defendant and about
themselves with explosive results. The film’s tag line says it all:
“A Life Is In Their Hands—Death Is On Their Minds; It Explodes
Like Twelve Sticks Of Dynamite!”.
This multi-award
winning film is without a doubt one of the greatest movies ever made.
Out of more than 670,000 movies ranked by viewers on the Intenet
Movie Database, it is ranked NUMBER FIVE! There is an all-star cast
including Henry Fonda, Martin Balsam, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Klugman, Jack
Warden, Ed Begley and E.G. Marshall. This is a MUST-SEE or SEE-AGAIN
CLASSIC!
The Movie Matinee is
at 2:00. The film is 1½ hours in length. In addition, there will be
a brief introduction of the film, a short talk and discussion after
the screening and an essay about the movie provided to all attendees.
There will be
refreshments. No reservations are required. Beit Knesset Hanassi is
located at 24 Ussishkin Street. The admission is 20 shekels for
members of the shul and 30 shekels for non-members.
