If there is only one choice between the Virgin and egoism, then I will choose the Virgin

It probably started from Xiao Lizi's aviator. I was inexplicably rejected and gradually moved away from celebrity biopics. In fact, it is not inexplicable when I think about it. The biographies of the main characters are the best subject matter for the Oscars, and I am tired of neat propositional essays. , of course, there have been many excellent biographies in recent years, such as the imitation game of Little Freckle's Theory of Everything, etc...

Correspondingly, I am full of interest in related documentaries, as the reality is always more mysterious and full of tension than the script. As a good documentary filmmaker, the default position is a taboo, but people have their own subjective and own limitations, so I try to collect all kinds of materials and express them objectively. This is what I appreciate. It is precisely because who we are, and how we are brought up does affect the way we hear things, that we need to approach the truth from all angles and illuminate our path forward.

The century-old trial of Simpson's wife murder case was sensational. Everyone is happy to complain that the judicial system in the United States let a murderer go, but I personally agree: procedural justice is higher than consequential justice. Although I hate the Virgin, if I have to choose the Virgin and extreme egoism, I can only choose the Virgin, because at least the Virgin has a chance to make the world better.

In addition to the killing of his wife, the trial, and his release, the first two episodes of this documentary also focused on Simpson's brilliant sports career and the black resistance movement in the United States at that time, and later borrowed the words of a black old lady juror to say that most of the black people were at that time. Idea: The acquittal of Simpson is revenge for the Rodney King case, a payback for 400 years of white oppression of black people. As a person who lives in the upper-class white circles, never actively contributes to his own racial struggle, and thinks that I'm not black, I'm OJ, but only because of skin color, benefits from the dividends brought by the resistance of black people, the key point is It is ignoring the facts, which is ironic and absurd. And in the fifth episode, I also have to think that the American justice, within the scope of his rules, paid back the murder penalty that OJ escaped.

In the first domestic violence court sentence, the second intrusion sentence, and the third robbery sentence, in terms of facts, there is no so-called fairness and justice. No system is perfect and absolutely just. Chris, the black prosecutor in the prosecution, believed that he could put aside his skin color and race, and prosecute with his own profession, but the sensitive public opinion made him irresistible. Idealists say, keep things simple and pure, and reality beats piapiapia.

When will I have such a big environment to discuss sensitive social events on the public media? Instead, pretend to be invisible, and there will be none; what is buried will always grow.

O.J.: Made in America quotes

  • Marcia Clark - Interviewee: O.J. Simpson? Uh. I never heard of him until 1994. I was never into sports, and I couldn't even tell you what game he played. I thought he was a has-been.

  • Peter Hyams - Interviewee: I believed he was innocent. I was like everybody else, it was incomprehensible that my friend could do this. I snuck into the jail to see him and there's this guy that was my buddy and he looked emaciated. He was in an orange jumpsuit, and he was shackled to the desk in front of me. Then he looked at me on the other side of plexiglass, close as he could be, and he said, "I swear to God, I didn't do this." I believed him. He asked me if I kind of would be the chronicler of the whole thing. Would I write a book about the whole thing. I backed away from that. Then, in a moment of ultimate surrealism, I'm sitting with OJ and Lyle Menendez walks behind him. And I just went, shit, this is more than my little pea brain can handle.
