"Eight hours, every second is thunderous."
There are numerous audio-visual materials and graphic materials, interviews and shooting of a large number of relevant personnel in the organization. In front of such a huge amount of materials, the montage technique is cleverly used to carry out extremely rigorous and precise selection and simplification, and the theme is clear. , The atmosphere rendering is convincing. The amount of material involved in the OJ Simpson case is terrifyingly huge. How to keep the false and keep the truth, use the material for one's own use, and express the rigor and depth of the theme in the creative process, this unique and extraordinary skill is enough to prove the director's huge image weaving ability. "During the filming, special attention was paid to maintaining the consistency of 'I don't explain' and 'let him or them say', as well as the consistency of 'I see' and 'he or they saw'." The director will "direct film", " Genre principles such as "Real Film" and "Compilation Film" are fully integrated and perfectly serve the thematic expression while creating a huge impact. This is rare and most surprising.
The plot-oriented narrative and documentary-style organization not only maintain the sense of history, heaviness, and reality, but also create a shocking sense of Hollywood type films. And a large number of oral clips more covertly express the theme-leading nature of the main creative team. Using the disappearance of the narrator to maintain the development and change of the event itself to the greatest extent, it reflects various serious social problems such as race issues, justice, media, police and so on behind his sad and happy life. Simpson's magical life and the common problems of racial discrimination and racial separation in American society, judicial process loopholes, media trials, etc., have formed two narrative clues and expression themes, one light and one dark, gradually intersecting, and finally in OJ Assembled in the explosive ending of tragedy. He is a white man in black skin, and he has nothing to do with himself, but he was rescued by racial reasons after killing his wife and was acquitted. However, the reincarnation of heaven, the fallen Simpson was sentenced to 33 years for an extremely stupid robbery after just 13 years. Both individuals and American society have fatally paid a heavy price for this.
There is no doubt that The Simpsons: Made in America presents a very popular and easy-to-understand state, but at the same time it is extremely professional and profound. It is undoubtedly the greatest common denominator between commoners and elites, vulgar and elegant. In the film, the creator advantageously shows the audience the close relationship between Simpson's choice as the subject and his life story. Subjectively, I try to observe and analyze Simpson, the rise and fall of the American dream from the background of the historical development of American society; objectively, I try to dissect Simpson's life development and destiny from the perspective of his personal character.
Simpson, whose life is like a play, and the life direction he was made, gradually destroy himself in the process of self-shaping. He is a human rights pawn, a masked man, a sinful soul, and a doomed tragic character. Simpson was never just about Simpson himself, he was like a symbol, a timeless stereotype. What he represents is the shortcomings of the United States, the shortcomings of society, and the shortcomings of human beings themselves, which cannot be repaired or saved.
Everything seems to be a coincidence, in fact, everything is not a coincidence.
