This is a film review, not into science

"The throat of a young woman living alone was cut? An adult man was buried with several knives? What is the intention of driving the gun to the forehead at a high speed to evade the pursuit? Carrying two lives and still being able to escape the law without incident, is this a distortion of human nature? Or a loss of morality? ——Welcome to this issue of Shaun’s video record"

If the trailer is written in this way, the ratings of "Simpsons: Made in America" ​​and "American Crime Story" in China will definitely add two zeros at the end, of course, the evaluation of a certain part will definitely not be the current 9.5 points and 8.8 points. I believe that there will even be a group of Simpson supporters or fans who will tear up with other people.

Before I started watching, I myself suspected that I was a young man who was born under the red flag and grew up in New China. How can someone score such a high score in the 20th anniversary of the U.S. Empire? These high scores must be The Cents Party fought after reading the content of the main theme of the United States. Domestic violence and wife killing, aren't these all concluded? How can someone take pictures and watch what is taken out now? However, after I started to look at it, I felt a 180° turn

"I'm rubbing, why is this plot so familiar"

"I wipe, this technique is also so familiar"

"I wipe..."

"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation"

These words may be disrespectful to the Centennial Party, but they are indeed my true feelings in my heart. The United States is also an anti-intellectual nation. Simply put, "Simpsons: Made in America" ​​writes "How Simpson got here", and "American Crime Story" wrote "How Simpson got here". These two films clearly described the overall appearance of the contemporary American people, and they are not at all the beautiful, tall, high-profile views of the Centennial Party. Simpson’s things are well connected with Xue Zhiqian, Li Xiaolu, and Pi’s tens of thousands of things. They are simply the ancestors. After the defense lawyer shouted out the words beginning with the N word, they broke up with us and many stars on social media. The news was exactly the same, and they were very similar to each other. The Simpson case passed, and it was the police officer who collected the evidence that was finally found guilty. After taking a look at Pi tens of thousands and a certain Lu, it was gai that was removed from the shelves, especially the fans’ faces on social media were exactly the same as the blacks on the streets of Los Angeles at the time. No, it made these two shows a reality. significance.

I started to understand what the people who scored high were thinking.

Of these two dramas, one is a 90-minute orthodox documentary in each episode. Each frame of the picture is suffocating. The naked truth makes you have to recognize the darkness of human nature, whether these people are fame or for For the sake of so-called freedom and justice, they have achieved a mockery of the so-called contemporary American democracy through a twisted method. The other is a collection of American crime, law, soap, film and television stars, including Travolta, who has long since become a fairy, and jointly reproduces the laughable and generous judgment of the century in the United States.

In the second year of filming these two dramas, on July 20, 2017, four parole officers agreed that he was no longer socially harmful, and the famous OJ Simpson was regained as early as October 1, 2017. free. This is another face slap after 20 years. Simpson can be said to be a very representative star created by professional sports in the United States. If you watch the NBA early, you can still see that the NBA has spent a lot of effort to transform the street-dressed sports stars into "wearing jerseys on the court," A sports star who wears a shirt off the court. OJ Simpson is a good example of success for them. Many contemporary professional athletes also follow the path of "famous athlete→TV commentator→actor". However, early fame has a great effect on personality distortion. As more and more high school students enter the professional league, the uniform team has also formulated corresponding policies, but it can't stop those who are generous in high school. The incident of accepting the Hummer presented by others happened. I don’t want to say that this caused the concept of money first to enter their concept early and affect the later career. However, the star who accepted the Hummer died every time he negotiated a contract. Talking, to a certain extent, also caused him to be embarrassed in his current career (of course, another part of the reason why he is not seen by most people is his fans).

The first half of "The Simpsons: Made in America" ​​mostly explains these backgrounds. The commercial benefits brought by talent have made Simpson what it is now. Smooth sailing in the professional arena, and smooth sailing in other aspects. In "The White-headed Detective" You can see his superb performances in this movie. This superb is really not a derogatory term. Even in this era, it is still difficult for you to see retired athletes with such skillful acting skills. These may make him racially inverted, and people who don't even think he is a black class are in contrast with Simpson, who was judged by the lawyer team in the trial of the century using the benchmark of racial discrimination.

Although it was said that it was a trial of the century, "Made in America" ​​did not spend too much effort to narrate the trial. On the contrary, the comparison of Simpson before and after the trial left a deep impression on people. Simpson gained freedom and triumphed in criminal matters, but he failed in civil matters. The foundation accumulated through his career collapsed. The family members of victims were sentenced to US$33.5 million in civil lawsuits. These are doomed to the tragedy of Simpson's second half of his life. In the altar, people continue to break through the bottom line and finally sentenced to 33 years in jail for robbery. There is a feeling of "the heaven forgives whom".

"American Crime Story" is different. The 10 episodes are concentrated in the year-long trial. Simpson himself, the team of defense lawyers, judges, prosecutors, and jury known as the Dream Team, are all in the play. The protagonist of "Made in America" ​​is to explain all the background to the audience and make the audience think, then "American Crime Story" is to introduce the audience into the play through the detailed description of each character and guide the audience to pass Everyone who experienced this event came to achieve empathy, which is more dramatic than "Made in America", and each character was described with a certain amount of pen and ink. Although there are almost all big celebrities participating in the performance, the acting skills can hardly be faulted. However, compared with "Made in America", Simpson’s choice of actor seems to be a bit uncomfortable. Although the black atmosphere is enough, the gestures are obviously similar to the well-dressed upper class like Simpson himself. There is a certain gap. If Dashi Johnson, who is a few years younger, plays, it will have a miraculous effect.

But despite such flaws, the standard of "American Crime Story" still surpasses most of the more popular dramas on the market. In the order of viewing, it is strongly recommended that "American Crime Story" go first, and then supplement the background and the ending of OJ Simpson in "Made in America".

The Simpson in the play may have ended, and although Simpson in reality was released on parole, he still has to face a five-year parole life. It is forbidden to drink alcohol, to be checked at any time, to take drugs or to possess weapons, and to violate any parole regulations, he will return to prison. Although his compensation was only 1% of the judgment, the victim’s family could not touch the Simpson NFL’s monthly pension of about 25,000 US dollars. I believe that the 70-year-old Simpson should have no major problems in his basic life. It is possible to move back to Miami to continue his life on parole.

But Nevada Week's Attorney General Pam Bundy has made it clear that he does not welcome OJ Simpson. He said: "It is impossible for him to live in Nevada comfortably. Our state should not be a country club for criminals." He is a professional athlete with a crossover star in the middle. Who is Simpson in the second half of his life after the age of 70? Wait and see. (Finish)

  • 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.
