If you are in the SouthEast Michigan area please check out the May Get Together for Michigan Skeptics. This month we are delving into critical thinking and logical fallacy, and we're doing this with one of the greatest classic movies of all time, 12 Angry Men.
We're going to watch the movie and then review the fallacies in the movie.
If you are interested, check out the post and RSVP. We hope to see you there!
We had to watch 12 Angry Men over two days in my Year 10 commerce class at school back in the 90s. I doubt there was a single kid in class who was remotely optimistic about it: a 50s film (black and white, no less), with no action scenes, no swearing and no romantic subplot. By the time the credits rolled up the screen we were riveted, and the impact it made has stayed with me. The late-90s Jack Lemmon remake isn't bad, either (although I question why they needed to do one).
