"No matter how far he ran and how long he ran, whenever he looks in the mirror, the unchangeable thing is that the person in the mirror will always be a black man, forever."

"Simpsons: Made in America" ​​directed by Isla Edelman, produced by Caroline Waterlow, and produced by ESPN (OJ: Made in America) realistic documentary, the film contains 72 new interviews, up to 7 and a half hours , Retelling OJ Simpson's complete career in the form of archive news pictures, and was awarded the 2017 Oscar "Best Documentary" award.
In order to escape the accusation of killing his wife, Simpson hired a dream lawyer team to use black people's dissatisfaction with Wilni King and other cases to create a white racist Foreman police officer, questioning the process of lapd's evidence search. Inciting racial sentiment, and finally winning The jury was found not guilty.
There is no doubt that in the documentary, 16 years later, Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping. It seems that justice has been served. But in the process, the fate of all kinds of people made me realize that justice comes. It is not easy. Every bit of justice will swallow many people, especially ordinary people, but even if smart and powerful like oj, he is the price paid by the black race to fight for their justice. The solidarity he received is not because of him, but because Every black victim before. But this unjustified and reluctant justice, then bounced back into various noises, part of it returned to oj, and part of it returned to other blacks.
But how many people paid the price, including many innocent people.
Witnesses who testified in court were stigmatized one by one to make their evidence unreliable. However, at the same time, it ruined one's work and one's life. Including the jury, would they not be conscientious in the future? Interrogation, interrogation with the people around? They are also isolated from the people around them. Powerful people, they publish books and consume oj, and ordinary people, like the Foreman police officer, his future is ruined, but also Go to jail.
The police of the DMV were accused of lust and alcoholism. Many police officers in lapd may have been scolded by the whole country for this, so that they could not escape in the history books.
That was the age of the prosperous media. A trial under the camera included too much acting. And ordinary people were designed to make a fool of themselves. They were accused of justice.
In the end, this incident caused the president to speak, and the defense lawyer felt that he was victorious.
Is it true? Or did this incident split the United States into a moment of crisis?
Do you really want this kind of justice? For temporary revenge, excessive justice?
This documentary is not only impeccably excellent in every aspect, it also takes the case itself to a higher level. It has made a shocking criticism of the individual, the collective culture, and the creationism of the entire society. This is not only about the United States, but also about race.

  • Marcia Clark - Interviewee: [on whether to have OJ Simpson try on the leather gloves that was recovered from the crime scene at Rockingham and Bundy] Chris says I want to do it and I told him in no uncertain terms why we should not be doing this, and he said if we don't do this: they will, then I said let them and we can show why it was a bullshit experiment why it was never going to work between the shrinkage and the latex, it's never going to fit in the same way, don't do this: it was the biggest fight Chris and I ever had.

  • Fred Goldman: [referring to OJ Simpson answering the questions asked to him during his deposition in the civil lawsuit] He'd lied about everything! There's not one honest bone in his body. He's lived a life of fraud and being a fake for God knows how many decades, to a point where I think he just believes his own bull.
