The truth will be late but will not disappear
Director Errol. Morris used a semi-documentary technique to reproduce the facts to track down an unjust case of killing a police officer, and successfully unearthed the truth of the incident. Let the wronged suspect get back innocence after eleven years in jail. This case occurred in Dallas, Texas in 1976. After a highway policeman intercepted a dark blue car, the driver of the car shot and killed. The police had no clue to solve the case. The 16-year-old habitual offender David...

DAVID, with a somewhat handsome face (a bit like SEINFELD), he seems to smile when he speaks. Looking at his childhood photos, no one would believe that he was a murderer. I couldn’t help but think of Mersault in Camus’ "The Outsider". It was also an unprovoked murder. But how can I say that although Mersault was for no reason, I later explained that it was because the sun was too hot, but I It is believed that he was a person who killed to prove a higher existence (although Camus is in this...

The color composition of this documentary is mainly blue, red and black; blue represents police, red represents life, and black represents darkness. Dallas Sin City.

American version of "Today's Talk"
1. After reading the first impression, what kind of narrative rhythm is this, put it in "Today's Talk", about half an hour. But then again, this is a classic mountain-watching work of scene reproduction documentaries, which was quite difficult more than 20 years ago.
2. I can't help but condemn the author of the subtitles. What kind of subtitles are these? There are typos all over the place, and the unsatisfactory translation makes people feel riddled with holes. However, if it were me... -

Today I finally resisted laziness and started writing. I really like neatness and formatting, here more of a classical pieces instead of stereotype, speculative, temperamental, I really like the deep silent blue inside, just like watching a historical painting by David, harmonious and orderly. Very storytelling.
We need stories, we also need to tell stories, this is my recent experience, both are equally important. So in my opinion, every interviewee is an...

Regardless of the way this documentary was filmed, its social influence has long been doomed to legend. The mistakes of the police and judicial authorities not only resulted in unjust cases but also allowed the real murderer to go unpunished. More than ten years later, a documentary will be used to prove innocence and make people So...

Williams [Mirror without memory] I only feel that I have seen the predecessor of CCTV's 12 French popularization program. The stylized silent record melodramatic rehearsal technique. The truth that the movie can present is relatively hierarchical and accidental Morris used It is the debunking of fictitious lies and constructing a competitive real ideology and ideological choice relative to the accidental real...

At the beginning, I really only cared about how the film was told, not what it said, but in the end it managed to grasp the introduction of the event itself. The stylized directing technique, the taciturn director who seems to be the listener but is actually the guide, can indeed ensure that the film has a richer and more three-dimensional realism than the direct film. Although there are renditions and fictions, its premise is that historical texts cannot be equated with history itself. By...

Randall Adams: You have a D.A, he doesn't talk about when they convict you, or how they convict you. He's talking about how he's going to kill ya. He don't give a damn if you're innocent, he don't give a damn if you're guilty. He's talking... about killing ya.

Sam Kittrell: David thought that the one that was really at fault that night was the guy that got killed. He said, "That guy's crazy. He came after me with a gun." I told him, "David, you'd broken into his house, you abducted his girlfriend, what was he supposed to do?" He said, "Man shouldn't come out with a gun. That dude's crazy. He should have been killed."

Sam Kittrell: In talking to David you don't ever feel hostile feelings coming from him. I have never seen David any way other than cordial, friendly to me as he could be, "Yes, sir," "No, sir," never disrespectful. So I've never seen the bad side. I've seen the results of it, and I've talked to him about it, and he's aware of the results of it - he remembers the bad side. But I've never seen him committing a crime or in a violent or volatile state.
