People would rather trust a local 16-year-old with a lot of criminal records than a 28-year-old non-working non-local adult with no previous criminal record. This is the "just" justice shown in the documentary "The Thin Blue Line" . The Thin Blue Line is a documentary released in 1988 that brought to light a 1976 police murder case. The filming of the documentary started by interviewing the police, lawyers, witnesses, judicial officers, etc. who were related to the case at that time, forming a strong contrast between the editing and editing of what they said, and at the same time, it also digs deeper into it step by step. I really want to. In addition to the interview screen, the film also has the virtual content of the scene reproduction performed by the director. For these content, the director has used the unique editing processing very well, so that people can clearly realize that it is only the scene reproduction rather than the actual shooting data. A semi-documentary method of recreating facts. The overall shooting is to add a simulating actual narrative method to the shooting of the event content, so as to show the film objectively and impartially to the audience.
The title of the documentary "The Thin Blue Line" refers to the blue line separating the impartial justice and the public opinion, and this film is also translated as "The Thin Line", which refers to the essence of the case. The two suspects in this case were different in age and identity, making the case judgment a "just" judgment that obeyed public opinion. At that time, the police, the public, judicial personnel, and witnesses were all biased towards the 16-year-old local minor David. Except for the lawyer of the other criminal suspect, Adams, all of them had identified Adams, just as Adams said in the film: "Those district attorneys, they don't care if you're innocent or not, they just want to kill you." So Adams was sentenced to death. After the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, Adams was found not guilty, but the local prosecutor sentenced Adams to life imprisonment in order to prevent reversal of the case. A few years later, David was sentenced to death for a crime, so he overturned the charges against Adams. At the same time, the witnesses who had accused Adams also overturned their own testimony, so Adams was imprisoned for more than ten years. Finally acquitted. People in the entire case were driven by anger to turn the judicial trial into a public opinion trial. This "just" judgment will eventually be overturned, but when will the blue line of justice not be crossed.
