4. Juror #10 (12 Angry Men)

12 Angry Men is a film by Sidney Lumet in which a group of white, middle-class men are thrown together on a jury panel, placed in a room and asked to reach a decision on the guilt of a young immigrant boy accused of patricide. Protagonist Henry Fonda is the only man who doesn't believe the boy is guilty beyond reasonable doubt, and as such, proceeds to convince his fellow jury members that the trial may not be as open and shut as they previously thought. One such juror, simply known as #10, is an opinionated bigot that believes the guilt of the young boy is irrefutable. It gets to the point that #10's opinions are so unjustified, so offensive and so incredulous that even those in favor of finding the defendant guilty, turn their back on him during his rant. In a beautiful bit of film-making, the remaining 11 characters turn their back on #10 as he belittles all minorities in an uninformed rant - it leaves him unsure of himself as he tails off to quiet. He says nothing for the rest of the film!
And to demonstrate my point... "They get drunk! Oh, they're real big drinkers, all of 'em - you know that - and bang: someone's lyin' in the gutter! Oh, nobody's blaming them for it. That's the way they are, by nature! You know what I mean? *Violent!*"
