Well I've just spent an hour analyzing 12 Angry Men in relation to One Angry Veronica for my analysis over on the LoVe Shack and I am extremely interested to see if Spring interprets things the way I do.
And honestly, after doing all my analysis there, I now like the show better than I did. I still think the exposition and jury scenes were a bit clunkily staged and I still dislike the Meg preggers/dead storyline but honestly - the intricate detail involved in the story mysteries has given me more respect for the show.
On an entertainment level - just didn't hit all the bells and whistles.
On a hey they are giving us lots and lots of clues here level - I liked it far more.
It probably helps that I adore 12 Angry Men. Seriously - I adore it. The acting by every single actor in that movie is so wonderful, so classic, so textbook that it makes the actor/teacher in me jump up and down in glee.
So after immersing myself in 12 Angry Men - hee, hee Rob. You sneaky little devil. 12, One and Logan's case are all intertwined in numerous ways. Far more than I initially thought before I jumped headfirst into 12 Angry Men.
Veronica - plays Martin Balsam's role.
The Knitting lady - plays Henry Fonda's role.
Baseball guy - plays the Jack Warden obsessed baseball fan role
Black college professor - E.G. Marshall role
Old guy - Joseph Sweeney role
CEO - seems to be a combination of the Lee J. Cobb bigoted role and the Rober Webber businessman role.
Waitress - seems to be the Edward Binns working class role though more outspoken than him in the movie.
And those are the only ones who stand out from the jury room in my mind.
Do you remember the defendant in 12 Angry Men is also Hispanic? And the weapon in that movie - also a switchblade knife is a key factor. Huge amounts of testimony on the angle used which is acted out in the jury room. The angle in Thumper's version of the murder is the same angle portrayed in 12 Angry Men.
I've already posted about the false witness, the way the weapon is gotten rid of in other posts.
Little things like this make me take a few pins out of my Rob Thomas Voodoo doll (he still has to keep a few for inflicting the duncanage on me).
