I just watched 12 Angry Men and I thought it could have been a metaphor for the guilt for Hiroshima at the time, a kind of mea culpa for hiroshima, with a kind of confirmation of an 'american rectitude'. Yourself, do you think it's an obvious metaphor in the movie or did you make the comparison for other reasons? I'm wondering right now if there's any equivalent for nowaday's 'irak mistake'--I don't see any and I don't think so---because I think americans see it more like a bad move than a morally wrong action. I don't know. what do you think? Hi!
