In the movie, 12 Angry Men, there were plenty of things to focus on. The weather, the way the men were dressed, their facial expressions, and more. I’d like to focus a little on all of these things throughout this paper, because they all help make the film what it is.

One example of Rose's use of this irony is when juror 10 begins to speak badly about the defendant, and how the kids like him "don't even speak good English" (37).
