"The Thin Blue Line" is an important part of documentary history, just as Citizen Kane was to feature film history. The film adopts an anti-traditional artistic expression, adopts a large number of post-modern narrative strategies, and makes bold innovations on traditional documentaries. It shows its distinctive side in terms of content form and artistic characteristics. From the filming and social impact, the film has achieved great success. The soundtrack of this film is composed by the master character Philip Glass, which makes his music very appealing, and the music in the film is a plus point for this documentary. The film shoots the documentary in the mode of reproducing the scene, and uses montage footage to reproduce the scene. For example, the police open the car door, the next second the gun goes off, the gun shoots out flames, and the next second the police fall to the ground . Most of the scenes in this film are reproduced in this way. The director is also good at using close-up shots and close-up shots to depict details and guide people to reason. The military training systems of Western countries have blue-lined national flags, blue-lined police badges, etc., which symbolize the police as protectors, protecting the lives and property safety of the people. The police are an important part of isolating society from criminals and the backbone of social stability. However, the sloppy and absurd performance of the American legal system in this case makes people feel very absurd. But in fact, today, the US judicial system has not been improved much. This film changed a person's fate, but it did not change the unreasonable aspects of the American judicial system.
