The film spends nearly half of its time telling how OJ Simpson grew up. It turns out that he was born in Potrero Hill, which is not far from where I live now. It was a black gathering place and a slum, and now it has become a fashionable small town in San Francisco. The gathering place of restaurants, where young people like to run; the film also restores how Simpson showed extraordinary sports talents in high school, and was later recruited to the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles to become a football school Team leader - where he got his first taste of fame.
He was already married when he entered college. His first wife was originally his childhood girlfriend, but he was robbed by Simpson and brought back home. After graduating from college, Simpson moved from California in the western United States to Buffalo, not far from New York, to become a professional football player.
When he was an athlete, he was deeply fascinated by "fame", taking advertisements, shooting magazines, and the stage he wanted was far more than the sports field. Slowly, he started making his mark in the movies. At that time, he was already a star, not a "star" . Soon, he announced his retirement from rugby.
It is worth mentioning that after he became famous, he was surrounded by almost all white people, and he deliberately screened his friends to shape his image.
He said he hoped that when people thought of him, "don't think he's black, he's OJ Simpson . "
那时美国种族冲突非常严重，不时就有新闻说白人警察把黑人打出翔。那时，当美国非裔群体需要一些意见领袖站出来为黑人说话时（比如拳王阿里等都会纷纷站出来），辛普森从来都是拒绝的。在那个种族主义盛行的年代，他的想法和行为难免会引起了一些黑人的不满，认为他自私，不帮自己人。
Simpson doesn't care about that, he cares more about what white people think. He wanted to be famous, and he wanted to keep earning most people's money.
His second wife was a restaurant waiter, German-American. As soon as I met Simpson, I was fascinated by her. He soon finds a way to divorce his black-haired wife and marry the beautiful biracial Nicole.
A few years after the marriage, Simpson was still unable to restrain his playboy nature, and he was messing with flowers everywhere, so Nicole quarreled with him many times. Simpson couldn't stand Nicole's daring to point fingers at his behavior, and almost every argument ended with Nicole being severely abused.
According to the police records alone, there have been more than 8 domestic violence reports.
Finally, one day, Nicole didn't want to endure her husband's violence for the sake of her children. She filed for divorce in court and moved out of their shared residence.
She thought she could finally be herself, decide where she was going to have dinner, decide what color nail polish she would wear, decide who to make friends with, and start a new life.
However, Simpson was secretly monitoring all of this, and even what Nicole had seen and said, Simpson could repeat to her word for word .
One night in June 1994, Nicole and his family came home from dinner. The restaurant found Nicole's glasses left on the table, so they sent a waiter to Nicole's house to return them when it closed. Unexpectedly, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the two were found dead at Nicole's house.
Blood was found on Simpson's socks, gloves, in his car and in his yard. Some evidence even found the bloodstains of the three people at the same time, all the evidence shows that Simpson is and absolutely the murderer .
And when the police wanted to arrest and question him, he actually drove away with his friend (AC Cowling), and the live broadcast of "Chasing Simpson" that shocked the United States was staged, and even the broadcast of the NBA Finals gave way to it. .
If the conviction is successful like this, then this case is an ordinary case that everyone is convinced.
The problem is that Simpson's lawyers who spent tens of millions of dollars played the racial card, causing this "wife murder case" with clear information and solid evidence to completely turn into an indiscriminate attack by white police against black people. A fair "framed and framed case" .
The jury, which was made up of a majority of African Americans , voted "Simpson not guilty" by a majority vote . Black people in the United States are boiling. They feel that this is a victory for the black people and a landmark result.
But such a victory has undoubtedly deepened the racial divide in the United States. 90% of whites believe Simpson is guilty.
The final part of the film describes what happened to each family after the case was over. Unfortunate families are unhappy in their own way. I won't go into details, but what people really see is the causal cycle, or a part of karma.
But what I couldn't let go of for a long time was how, in any case, could the court allow emotion to take over the fact?
This is not a jury of three-year-olds.
The jurors knew that the ill-intentioned lawyer was playing the "race card", but they continued to play the game in court according to such inexplicable rules.
Lawyers take people's money and save people's disasters. So, jurors, tell me, in the face of so much evidence, do you still believe that this Simpson did not brutally cut his throat and the other two lives because he was black?
It has been more than 30 years since the case, did each of you sleep well at night?
In September 2007, Simpson and a gangster he knew created a robbery case in Las Vegas. There was no casualty or excessive property damage, but Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison (according to the sum of all charges). ).
This case is often quoted as saying that the verdict was supposed to be pronounced on the afternoon of October 2, and the judge dragged all the jurors until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night to pronounce the sentence, because October 3 was an unusual day. Thirteen years ago, on October 3, Judge Ito announced that Simpson's wife murder case was closed, and Simpson was acquitted and released in court.
The 33 years in prison also corresponds to the $33 million Simpson was fined in civil court that year.
Such a reincarnation, do you think it is a coincidence?
Simpson's wife murder case in 1994, has the justice progressed or regressed? In the 2007 Simpson robbery, did justice advance or regress?
From Simpson's wife murder case in 1994 to the Simpson robbery case in 2007, has the racial problem eased or deepened?
