There are some spoilers below, but for this kind of film, it should not matter. . .
First of all, for the overall quality of the film, S, 9 points, BB is 10 points in my mind. No matter from the details of casting, makeup, clothing, vehicles, etc., the production team has paid attention to it, and for a frequent American drama watcher, it is impeccable.
Let’s talk about acting again. From the first episode of Simpson’s appearance with the driver, he easily revealed the superiority of celebrities; until the fourth episode, Johnny said to OJ, is run for your life, which is unmatched by some domestic dramas . Those who often watch American dramas should be able to see that the main characters are all veteran actors, and there is no pressure to control the characters. This is 10 points.
Let’s talk about the rhythm again. In fact, this kind of film will be very slow. Those who like to watch POI can leave. But except for the jury episode in episode 8, which made me feel that the rhythm is out of balance, the rest of the performances are very good. , calculation, private life, and comments are all advanced in an orderly manner, and the most difficult and boring court trial scenes are extremely wonderful under the interpretation of several excellent actors.
Then we talked about the plot and the restoration of real events. This piece is very difficult to deal with. There are no new tricks. We already know the result, so what else is there to look at? But there are interpretations, and it can't be too outrageous. The whole 10-episode planning is still top-notch, but here I will give 8 points, because my two major opinions are about to be published! ! !
First, the design of the Chinese detective Dr. Li Changyu. During the entire approval process, Dr. Li, as the most powerful witness for the defense, even gave 0 scenes, and that funny Mexican maid had to toss for a long time, okay? Writer, are you racist? As a Chinese uncle, I can bear it, but my uncle can't bear it either! ! !
Second, because Dr. Li has no role in the scene, the basis for the final innocence is really racially sensitive. It cannot be said that it is wrong, but without rational judgment, the examination and approval of the century will be incomplete. From Linda's masterpiece and many variety shows, we can know that the final conclusion of innocence is at least 70% of the rational analysis:
respectively, 1, there are preservatives in the blood sample, 2, blood on socks The two sides are symmetrical, 3, the blood on the gloves turned out to be wet, 4, about one-fifth of the blood sample was lost, 5, there was a fourth person's footprints at the scene. And the male deceased came to Nico's house suddenly, which is unpredictable. Even if OJ killed him, it would not constitute first-degree murder.
And MF, the great god, made trouble. In the end, the jury only listened to 2 recordings, and the judge made it clear that the jury could use MF's testimony.
Thirdly, the jury was also ordered by the lawyers of both parties. In the end, the prosecution blamed the jury for the verdict made by the sensibility, which was simply a slap in the face.
If it's space constraints, then I can understand, but if not, it's clear that the writers are leaning towards OJ did it. And infuse this tendency into the plot, this is the biggest mistake of the play.
Of course, the flaws do not hide the truth. This film basically restores the great trial of the century, which is a great feat. Not to be missed for viewers who like this genre.
The final jury discussion session reminded me of "Twelve Angry Men" instantly. I also recommend friends who like ACS to watch it. It is a timeless classic and makes a small X advertisement for the classic.
Looking forward to the second season.
