The Thin Blue Line is a stylized documentary with a film noir vibe. The reenactment of an incident like a detective movie + interviews with multiple parties + clipping of newspaper testimony created a novel and unique documentary mode, reproducing an unjustified shooting of a police officer in Dallas, Texas, USA in 1976, repeatedly reasoning about the case and seeking the truth, the result was successful To unearth the truth of the incident, let the wronged suspect recover his innocence after 11 years in prison. Extensive interviews and evidence presented make the documentary's practical significance and impact far beyond the film itself. The simple use of the camera lens, the right rhythm of the close-up insertion, the contagious musical foreshadowing, and the presentation of the two-line narrative all made me immersed in it and could not extricate myself from it. In my opinion, the topic of discussion in the documentary "The Thin Blue Line" goes beyond the video recording itself. It carries out visual innovation in the process of thinking and reasoning, and shoots a remarkable documentary work in our era.
