The difference between documentaries and movies is that movies can use different forms to tell different stories, while documentaries use different themes, different perspectives and different ways to narrate the same story. The structure and reflection of this film I was fascinated by the depth of it, I thought I was watching a suspense movie, and then I saw social racial values and self.
"The negro is dead and the black man is alive."
This is a "human rights" movement in a social context:
Martin Luther King supports the anti-Olympic actions of black athletes to speak out for racial equality.
And the only way the LAPD communicates with the black masses is through arrest.
The most impressive is the scene where the police searched every black house, smashed all the furniture in the name of searching for drugs, and there were only mothers and children in the house.
Rodney King and Natasha Harlins: A black truck driver who was abused by four police officers and a black girl who was shot at a convenience store on suspicion of stealing. In the cases 13 days apart, the white police officers were acquitted and the Korean woman was suspended for five years.
The black people who felt the same way outside the court held up the "Free OJ" sign. The reporter asked them why they thought OJ was innocent. The woman replied, "I just know he is innocent!" The reporter asked many times, and the answer was the same.
Lawyers eloquently criticized Sheriff Foreman for racial discrimination in the courtroom, when Foreman used the Fifth Amendment, when Foreman used the Fifth Amendment, and when Hitler treated Jews, no one cared too much about the case itself.
Jury: 'I don't think OJ is guilty because he played football well' because 'Rodney King' case was treated unfairly because white people always want to scourge black people because he's black because We are tired and want to go home.
If he killed his ex-wife, a black man killed his wife, wouldn't it be the "trial of the century", a black American hero killed a white woman, this is the place where America created its own contradictions.
“I understood money and attorneys, reputation and celebrity. And who am I? I am nobody.”
A courtroom with cameras makes the case increasingly headline-grabbing and entertaining, and everyone involved in the case becomes a celebrity, lawyer, judge, witness.
It could be OJ in the dock, it could be someone else with a racial tag, changing the picture on the wall in OJ's house to make him look black, even stopping the medication and changing his knuckles, everyone on stage just wants to reach their respective purposes.
The media has always had the ability to shape the truth and guide public opinion. The report on the "Rodney King" case is "a black man who was mad on the road under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the bail period" or "an ordinary driver was arrested by a group of racial groups." Discriminatory police stop" is the same case?
No Twitter, no Facebook, everyone is listening to the same version of the story on TV and on the radio.
The power of the media is that unfair things happen every day, but how to make what happens a voice can make it a real force for change. Instead of feeding the audience's taste, OJ is portrayed as an OJ he doesn't know himself.
"I wanted to be known. I wanted the people to say, "Hey, there goes OJ"
OJ's rise to fame has brought fighting spirit and hope to many young people, just like an American dream.
At the "Bachelor III Bar," the white woman at the next table whispered, "Look! OJ is sitting with a bunch of old blacks." The fellow said, "Gosh, you must be feeling sick." OJ said, "No , that was great. Don't you understand? She knew that I was't black. She saw me as OJ ”
"I want to be judged bot by the color of my skin, I want to be judged by the content of my character, and most of all, the caliber of my competence." He said he had become a man who chased after what others wanted him The image he has become, "getting trapped within the image other people have of me", he is indeed trapped, not just what others want him to be, but also what he really is.
OJ tried to remove skin color from the dictionary, and the white society embraced and accepted him, but this could never avoid the connection and contradiction with the tens of millions of black people fighting for the equal rights of skin color. When he sits in the dock and starts to count the number of blacks and Asians on the jury, he can instantly change back to black, pick up the black skin, walk out of the courtroom, and continue to live the rich life of white people .
He thought that everything could happen according to his ideas, and he could get what he wanted, just like he won Marguerite from his friend Alan, just like he loved being Mr.Hotshot, the "Mr. Focus" of the world. He doesn't care or feel like he's become an element, a tool, an OJ cult: colleges need his football prowess, community leaders need his connections, Chevy needs his clout, Hertz needs his image.
At the end it says that he reached the peak of his life, and when he fell, it was only OJ and not the black community.
OJ reached the top of the mountain, and when he fell off, it should not reflcet on black people at all. It should reflcet on OJ
It also reminds me of the interview OJ said in the first part of the film, "The revolution may not have happened yet, but I did."
"We may not have arrived, but I have arrived. And as far as I'm concerned, everybody else can get here the same way that I did, and when they get here, they can do what I do."
Fair enough, OJ
