    Documentary is either the most authentic record or a record with a strong sense of authorship. The latter is often better-looking. The former is often difficult to play, but the former has more highlights. This film is the former, the video material and the main film. The interspersed editing of the film shows the director's skill. My focus is not on the event itself, but in the free judicial system in the United States, I feel that the ink is not too much, but it seems to be what the title...

    It's still a bit long, and it's very immersive at first, and then the more I look at it, the more boring it becomes. A large amount of information makes people angrily want to catch the real murderer, but when the real murderer is still at large, the last thing is to thank everyone for not giving...

    American version of In the Name of the Father. Making a documentary is no easier than making a feature film. It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project to combine the interview materials of hundreds of people and every detail of the case development in a focused and logical manner. On the one hand, the judicial system keeps concealing its own ugliness, and on the other hand, the masses are relentlessly fighting for truth and freedom. Fortunately, certain results have been achieved....

    How could you just let that perverted uncle go! ! Depend on! ! Compared with the central park, this one is too protracted. Even a documentary should not be a slobbery account, and it also uses a lot of provocative means, and also loses the position of the documentary "recording". Neutral for neutral's sake. Damien's phrase "things like this happen all the time" should be the finishing touch. It brings more discussion than the film...

    2013/02/12 I said that there is no Damien in the credits at the end of the credits. It turns out that he is one of the producers. He looked the most perverted from the beginning, but I didn't expect him to be the most normal person. After being incarcerated for 18 years and being able to write such an awesome letter to Lorri, I cried when I heard it. What a powerful perspective. On the contrary, the murderer is at large, and the prosecutor refuses to admit his fault. The world may not be absolut

    The longest documentary I've ever seen. Alvert's defense that "all three pleaded guilty in exchange for their release in court" is ridiculous and contradictory. But the government can afford the time, and spending more than ten years in prison can't afford it, and the murderer will still be at large because of...

    It would be interesting to compare it to Central Park Five indeed. From the beginning to the end of this film, people who support or oppose West Memphis 3 have their own theories, and the sense of distance from shouting in the air has always been there. It's a shame that I don't have enough understanding and sympathy for these three people. This is the fourth film about...

  • Krista 2022-04-13 09:01:07

    I saw this film directly without watching the Paradise Lost Series. As a bystander who learned about this case for the first time, I still deeply feel that as a documentary, it lacks the necessary objectivity. The public carnival and the final outcome make people even more worried that this pursuit of justice has...

West of Memphis quotes

  • Damien Wayne Echols: The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick if you wanna meet someone at a specific place in the universe to have tea or coffee. But that's all it is, a trick. There's no such thing as the past, it exists only in the memory. There's no such thing as the future, it exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate the only thing they would ever say is now.

  • Damien Wayne Echols: [quoting Stephen King] "All right I think we've been down here in the dark long enough. There's a whole other world upstairs. Take my hand, Constant Reader, and I'll be happy to lead you back into the sunshine. I'm happy to go there because I believe most people are essentially good. I know that I am. It's you I'm not entirely sure of."
