More importantly, there has never been a documentary that can make people feel so terrified after watching it, and they get chills all over. Recently, the whole country has just suffered a cold wave that has not been seen in decades, but this kind of chill from the inside is obviously worse than the cold wave from outside.
If you are a fan of American TV dramas, you should know that the documentary I am talking about is called "Making a Murderer", and its Chinese name is "Making a Murderer". Many film and television media have recommended this film, why does this documentary cause so much Big controversy?
One of the reasons is that the experience of the hero Steven Avery is too bizarre. When watching the first episode, many people may think that the story is over. I even think that this film is about a case in each episode, but after watching it, I realize that the story has just begun.
Imagine a 55-year-old who was wrongfully jailed for 18 years, later sentenced to life in prison for a controversial murder, and has spent nearly 10 years in prison. What would you do if this happened to you?
This assumption will give us a deep sense of substitution, and the huge fear of the opaque judicial system and the curiosity of the various unanswered questions about the incident make "Making a Murderer" fried. The popularity of the United States continues to heat up, and 130,000 people have gone to the official White House website to avenge the actor. On January 6, more than 100 supporters of Steven Avery protested peacefully outside the Manitowoc County courthouse. Recently, Anonymous, the world's largest hacker group, claimed to have found evidence to frame the protagonist. And Kathleen Zellner, the nation's best exonerated lawyer, will be Steven Avery's new attorney.
What is puzzling is that in the presence of many outside supporters, Jodi Stachowski, the former fiancee who is close to Steven Avery, recently made the exact opposite statement from the documentary, saying in an interview with HLN that Steven Avery is a The monster thinks he is the one who killed Halbach, and says that he used to speak well for him because he was coerced by him.
Steven Avery responded on January 18, 2016, in a letter to FOX News stating that Jodi Stachowski was under threat from Wisconsin and that the truth would set him free.
The incident is complicated and the truth is difficult to know, but it is certain that due to the poor performance of government and law enforcement officials such as police and prosecutors in this case, this matter has brought shame to the American judicial system, which is known for its democracy and fairness. The United States adopts a judicial system in which Congress, the government, and the courts are separated from each other. The purpose is to check and balance each other, so that no one party can dominate the power. The jury system also allows the public as a third party to independently participate in the sentencing to ensure the rights of the defendant. balance with the power of the state.
However, once such a system is eroded by the corruption of law enforcement agencies, dominated by prejudice, information is not transparent, the system is loophole, and driven by interests, the power of this carefully established system will be greatly reduced. The human error of countless system loopholes is finally enough to cause huge consequences. It is obviously chilling to fabricate an innocent murderer and stand in the dock to stand an unwarranted trial.
Whether Steven Avery is the murderer or not is divided, and the social news site Reddit even released all the court records of the case for everyone to discuss. But from the documentary point of view, some viewers have come to the conclusion that "they actually know nothing" after watching the whole story, because the information disclosed in the documentary is too one-sided, and the information asymmetry is enough to distort the facts. Moreover, as a documentary, even if it is real material, due to the editing and the position of the author, it will inevitably have a certain tendency. The author of the film is obviously on the side of Steven Avery.
But in fact, Steven Avery does have the potential to kill. For example, he had a good impression of the victim and made several anonymous calls to ask her out. Steven Avery has a history of domestic violence against women, and his ex-wife publicly stated that Steven Avery may have committed the crime because he had suffered domestic violence many times in the past. In addition, there are a lot of clues about Steven Avery that are not disclosed in the documentary. However, these suspicions do not serve as evidence to conclude the case.
If Steven Avery really kills someone, his psychological quality is obviously extremely strong, and there is no repentance and guilty conscience from every phone call recording and live trial, what a terrible murderer he will be.
And if Steven Avery and his nephew Brenden were wrongly convicted, and the murderer was someone else, then this is likely to be a huge conspiracy, a collective planting of the real murderer and the entire local judicial system, which is obviously even more terrifying.
Whether it is Steven Avery and his nephew Brenden, the entire local judicial system and law enforcement officers, or the murderer who may be on the loose, there must be one that we have not seen through.
Murder is terrifying, but even more terrifying than murder is the human heart that cannot be seen through.
