After watching this documentary, from the point of view of the subject matter, it is actually not enough to make people shine in this era when there are too many Hollywood movies. But this is the framework of a documentary. It was the first time I watched a suspenseful documentary, but it brought me the feeling of watching the film. In addition, this is not an ordinary murder investigation film. At that time, it dared to conduct investigations into American justice. Challenging satire and conveying the connotation of "truth" through a documentary, I think the content and meaning of this film has already surpassed the work itself, which is also what I admire the director. A good work of art must avoid idealism. creative tendencies.
In terms of shooting methods, I think this documentary adopts the method of real reproduction. A mashup of interviews with Adams-Harris-police-judge-witnesses...and no narration appears in the film. It is purely relying on character interviews to advance the course of events. In addition to the character interviews, the framing of other environments also played an important role in rendering the atmosphere and advancing the plot. In the film, there are many scenes in the dark night. Whether it is an interior scene or an exterior scene, it gives people a terrifying, mysterious and unpredictable scene. feeling, triggering a sense of crisis; coupled with powerful and hypnotizing music, accompanied by slow motion and frequent close-ups, it is easy to bring the audience into the plot during the viewing process, and as the plot progresses. The feeling of advancing is even stronger. What impresses me particularly is the series of close-ups and mixed cuts of the falling beverage bottles. In fact, after watching so many documentaries, I also learned a lot from them, including transitions, close-ups of characters and environments, etc. Documentaries of different types of documentaries use different shooting techniques and presentation effects. But expressing the truth, calling for justice and really conveying it through the form of documentaries, I think this is the real meaning of the existence of documentaries. "The Thin Blue Line" is not only a satire and warning to American justice, but also a wake-up call to the hearts of the general public. If everyone believes in what they think is true, in fact, this society is no longer true. Eyes can also lie, and the truth may not be what you think. In addition to the methods, I think the meaning conveyed by this documentary is also worthy of our reflection and aftertaste.
