      I don't give five stars because I doubt myself even after reading it

      Bill, who chose not to be a bystander during the Vietnam War, bravely joined the Marine Corps to serve his country. At that time, the eighteen-year-old boy was thinking - "I can go home intact".

      However, losing his legs in the war was not the most painful thing for him. In 1964, Kitty was killed in cold blood in front of his Queens home, and Bill lost his dearest sister ever since.

      The documentary "Silent Witness" is about Bill's investigation and tracking of Kitty's death, so...

      "People focus on death and even ignore the fact that she lived"

      When a young life was abruptly ended in black due to a sudden change, how should the rest of the people face her?

      Is it possible for a life to be completely erased because of an overly strong ending? some. "People were so focused on her death that they didn't even want to mention her life." But what does this forced separation mean to those who once loved her dearly and her vividness was deeply etched in the traces of life?

      What happened is there, Kitty's smile and...

    Movie plot

    In 1964, Kitty Genovese was killed in cold blood in front of her home in Queens, New York, USA, causing a great blow to her brother William Genovese. In 2004, "Time" revisited the old story. The murder process lasted for 35 minutes and 38 witnesses stood by, which was really chilling. In the end, is New York's indifference, the sloppy investigation of the year, or the exaggeration and inaccuracy of the report. William Genovese visited...

    Background creation

    Kitty Genovese's brother, William Genovese, had always had a close relationship with his sister, who was just 16 when she was killed. He has always believed in the "New York Times" news report that "38 people watched in cold blood", and many of his life choices were also affected by this   . A few years later, when the U.S. drafted for Vietnam, he didn't want to do nothing like the 38, so he joined the Marines and went to Vietnam,...

    Movie quotes

    • William Genovese: If I was going to have more success, Charlie Skoller suggested that I start with the trial transcript. My family couldn't bear to go to the trial in 1964 so I never heard the testimony of the witnesses. Only 5 of the 38 witnesses were called to take the stand.
