a little afterthought

The biggest inspiration this documentary gave me was that it made me start to think about my own view of history and the fact that I was too small to be vulnerable in the face of the flood of history.

I always feel like history is destined for such a sensational event that it just happened to fall on OJ and it happened that OJ was good at football and that he was emotionally intelligent and that he was well known among white people and that he was a recessive control freak and manic personality that happened to open the door that night Nicole with a knife in his hand led to two murders

The environment at that time was that black people were repeatedly treated unfairly by the police, and the police groups sheltered each other and abused black people. The police were acquitted in court. There have also been cases where black groups complained about the police and confronted each other. There was a fight and it so happened that OJ committed the case at this time, and OJ was a well-loved black. famous. Football star so helping him get rid of the crime was not just his business and became a bloodbath of the black community. It can be said that the black people just used the OJ case to change their own status. As for whether he is really a murderer, the second is that the OJ lawyers also used the psychology of the black people very accurately. A beautiful turnaround to clear his name

What impressed me most during the trial was the core witness, Los Angeles police officer Mark Furhman, in the documentary, he said a sentence that I remember vividly: "For you, it's just a ducumentary; for me, it's end of my life..." On both sides In the later stage of the defense of the lawyers, OJ killed Mark's racist remarks, aroused the resistance of the eight-turned-black jury, and then questioned that he might deliberately frame OJ, although rationally thought that he had no motivation and could not complete such a night. Tan Si's planting, in fact, most of the police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department spoke like this at that time. It can be said that in the police department at that time, it was normal to call black people nigger. After this big case, I lost my whole life. Thinking about what he said, it is really embarrassing. How to use reason to enlighten such a ridiculous life can only sigh that fate is impermanent

Lao Tzu said in "Tao Te Ching" that "the world is not benevolent, and all things are dogs." After watching this documentary, I looked at history from a personal point of view and felt that I had to feel sad for the fate of individuals. In the middle of it, what are you working on, what are you fighting for, what are your ideals? Anyway, you can't escape history, you can't escape the palm of the "Heaven and Earth" Why do you still struggle and do somersaults in the palm of the Buddha's hand like Sun Wukong? But after a moment of brave death, it is really difficult to live after a hundred years.

O.J.: Made in America quotes

  • Marcia Clark - Interviewee: [on whether to have OJ Simpson try on the leather gloves that was recovered from the crime scene at Rockingham and Bundy] Chris says I want to do it and I told him in no uncertain terms why we should not be doing this, and he said if we don't do this: they will, then I said let them and we can show why it was a bullshit experiment why it was never going to work between the shrinkage and the latex, it's never going to fit in the same way, don't do this: it was the biggest fight Chris and I ever had.

  • Fred Goldman: [referring to OJ Simpson answering the questions asked to him during his deposition in the civil lawsuit] He'd lied about everything! There's not one honest bone in his body. He's lived a life of fraud and being a fake for God knows how many decades, to a point where I think he just believes his own bull.
