Most compelling performance by the 12 Angry Men?　Lee J. Cobb & George C. Scott

http://imdb.com/poll/results/2007-10-15

36.7%　I have never watched the movie.

23.0%　Henry Fonda as Juror #8, the voice for the under-represented

13.0%　Lee J. Cobb as Juror #3,

the one whose stubborn exterior masks hidden demons

IMDb > Sidney Lumet > Awards

是怎樣？薛尼盧梅當時才三十三，這麼屌的處女作沒看過還敢在那裡明目張膽！

話說一九五八年，薛尼以十二怒漢提名奧斯卡，在台下心想：我上台才不會在那裡謝天謝地謝父母哩！結果過了四十七年，提名了五次，奧斯卡才給他一個終身成就獎，頒獎人是感覺開場白講到一半又會突然大演講的艾爾帕西諾。

我投給 Lee J. Cobb，要揍亨利方達的火爆中年人。

除了另外一部代表作岸上風雲的公會老大，Johnny Friendly 這什麼智障名字？女主角伊娃瑪麗仙很正，北西北也是，Lee J. Cobb 在一九四八年和詹姆斯史都華演了個 Call Northside 777 (777北街奇跡)，也是屬於海報成為看片動機的電影。

觀影隨筆：傳統的美國西部史觀 --《西部開拓史》

一九六二年 Lee J. Cobb 又和詹姆斯史都華演了個 How the West Was Won。該片陣容堅強，大概只有東方快車謀殺案牌子可以超越：詹姆斯史都，亨利方達，割來割去割屁股，約翰韋恩，割來割去割屁股，Debbie Reynolds (萬花嬉春女主角)，George Peppard (第凡內早餐呆滯男主角)，Karl Malden (見下行)，旁白還動用到 Spencer Tracy。

Karl Malden，這傢伙是馬龍白蘭度演藝生涯早期的綠葉，慾望街車把費雯麗，佳配；岸上風雲當神父，提名佳配。

老人痴影症：十二怒漢 (12 Angry Men)

最獲我注意的是 Lee J. Cobb (李柯伯)，他飾演偏見最嚴重的三號陪審員，在片中不時歇斯底裡的叫囂，到最後崩潰地抱頭痛哭，其演技叫人難忘，他後來演出了好幾部大制作，比如 On the Waterfront (岸上/碼頭風雲) 那位工會老大，曾被提名奧斯卡最佳男配角。

George C. Scott 是巴頓將軍兼奇愛博士的鷹派將軍，兩者不可混淆，個人是認為兩者名字很像啦！彼得謝勒 x 彼得謝勒 x 彼得謝勒。

巴頓將軍也有 Karl Malden。巴頓將軍編劇是柯波拉，就好像奧利佛史東拍前進高棉前，先寫了疤面煞星的劇本，Patton 與 Platoon 兩者不可混淆！

奧斯卡歷史上首位拒領影帝殊榮的演員

Was the first actor ever to refuse an Academy Award (1970, for Patton (1970)). He was followed by Marlon Brando, who also turned down the award for The Godfather (1972). The reason he claimed for missing the ceremony where he won the Oscar was that he was busy watching a hockey game.

觀賞曲棍球比賽？和伍迪亂倫吹奏豎笛有得比！

"I have nothing against Oscar. I know what he stands for and it's terrific. And I think when people used to hang around and pat each other on the back over a drink and dinner it was wonderful. But when it became an international hoopla, where careers lived and died on whether or not you did or didn't get an Oscar, then it got out of hand."

我對奧斯卡沒有成見：我知道那代表什麼，棒極了。我也覺得人們茶餘飯後閒話家常是件美好的事情。但是當奧斯卡成了眾所矚目的焦點，演員不管活著還是死了都得討論有沒有拿過小金人，這就有點誇張了。

"The [Academy Awards] ceremonies are a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reason."

奧斯卡頒獎典禮是場為時兩小時的廟會大拜拜。

"Actors are the world's oldest, underprivileged minority - looked upon as nothing but buffoons, one step above thieves and charlatans. These award ceremonies simply compound the image for me."

演員是長久以來最沒有社會地位的弱勢族群─除了小丑什麼都不是，只比小偷和江湖術士高一個等級。那些頒獎典禮更是加強了我的想像情境。

IMDb > Det. Lt. William F. Kinderman (Character)

Played two roles originated by actor Lee J. Cobb. Lt. Kinderman was played by Cobb in the original The Exorcist (1973). Scott later played Juror #3 in the remake of 12 Angry Men (1997) (TV), a role played by Cobb in the original film (12 Angry Men (1957)). He also received a Tony nomination for playing Cobb's signature role of Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" on Broadway.

Was succeeded in two of his roles by the late George C. Scott. Cobb died shortly after playing Lt. Kendrick in The Exorcist (1973). Scott took over the part in the third film. Cobb played Juror #3 in 12 Angry Men (1957) and Scott played that part in the remake.

Pelle erobreren (1987)

Toto le héros (1991)

大法師媽媽 Ellen Burstyn 是噩夢輓歌媽媽；老神父是柏格曼愛將 Max von Sydow，也是比利小英雄老人。比利小英雄 (Pelle the Conqueror) 是丹麥片，托托小英雄 (Toto the Hero) 是比利時片，兩者不可混淆！

He played Lt. William "Bill" Kinderman in The Exorcist III (1990). His ex-wife Colleen Dewhurst was the voice of Satan in the film. Son Campbell Scott played Ethan Thomas in The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005).

什麼？Campbell Scott 就是 George C. Scott 的兒子！
