12 Angry Men
12 Angry Men is an American movie from 1957 directed by Sidney Lumet.
In this film, there is a jury composed by 12 men who are ordered to judge a teenage accused of having killed his father. These twelve men have to reach a deal before giving a veredict and as seemingly, it is clear that the boy is the murderer, eleven of the twelve men want to send him to his dead without thinking about his culpability too much.
The other man, who isn't sure if the boy is the murderer and lest the boy isn't sent to his dead without certainty, decide to trust in the innocence of the teenage in order to start a discussion that lets them know if he is the murderer.
I am not going to continue with the story for I don't want to do spoilers, only this film is a good example about the importance of the emphaty. Basically, when you are deciding about something important for other person, try to empathize and work it as if it were you who is waiting the decision.

Aha! You remember this scene, too! Yes, it is a great drama. I have a DVD of it. The DVD is in French, German, Spanish(?),... too.

Yes! That is good scene in which we can realize the he's not completely sure about the innocence of the teenage, but he wants to seem he is, because at least, he want to know the true.

This was an amazing film. The juror in the white suit invited the other eleven to review the case for the defence, while very craftily, turning a blind eye to the case for the prosecution. There was, only once in the film, in the toilet, a short scene where the white suit was asked what if the defendent was, in fact, guilty and set free to murder again. The white suit then chose, for the only time in the film, his right to remain silent.
