    The recurrence of events like a detective film + interviews with multiple parties + newspaper testimony cut-and-paste, creating a novel and unique documentary mode. The low-key lighting, close-ups, silhouettes and Pilip Glass soundtrack create a film noir atmosphere. After the film was released, Adams was acquitted and the social influence was sufficient, but the viewing process now seems a bit dull and boring....

    The documentary version of "Rashomon", directed by Errol. Morris believes that memory is built on the isolated and fragile fragments of images, words and symbols, and as the photographic rotation moves closer to the fragmented sentences and short chapters that have been stripped of context, the graininess of those close-ups becomes more and more. The stronger it is, the more difficult it is to identify, and it also constitutes the best metaphor for people's search for...

    In the whole process, he was wronged and was almost the only one who told the truth - Adams, if it weren't for this documentary, I would have been wronged. Under the trend of their own interests, law enforcement agencies and ordinary people still insist on perjury to the end even in the face of the camera. It felt like a nightmare, Adams said in the film. Honesty seems so lame and embarrassed in a hypocritical world. Who is...

    Hehe! A documentary slapped the American justice system. Watching it for the Glass soundtrack, his tight repetitions are really appropriate here, especially when recreating the original scene. ps i still want to know who killed...

    9.0/10. ① Documentary about the wronged suspect in the 1976 Texas police shooting. The thin blue line refers to the police in the United States. ②The narrative form is zero narration + oral interview + illustrative empty footage/newspaper/archive/photo/painting/fictional scene reproduction. The reenactment of various scenes adds a lot of drama to the film, although it's still a bit boring. ③ Although the scenes reproduced in the scenes themselves are designed to restore the scene with great...

    The IFC Center has a real understanding of what a good editing and powerful logic is this time. Although it sounds a little difficult without subtitles, the expression of the film does not need to be repeated. The perfectly restored clips, but the static fixed shots are full of power, and the layers of progress are shivering. Be sure to watch the subtitled version...

    The charm of it is probably that you know what's really going on outside the film is a thousand times more thrilling than...

The Thin Blue Line quotes

  • Floyd Jackson: David didn't have a conscience. If I do something bad I think, "Shucks, I shouldn"t done that, I feel bad about it." It didn't bother him. It didn't bother him at all.

  • David Harris: [asked if Randall Dale Adams is innocent] Did you ask him?

    Errol Morris: Yes.

    David Harris: What did he say?

    Errol Morris: Well, he's always said he's innocent.

    David Harris: There you go. You didn't believe him did you? Criminals always lie.
