O.J.: Made in America https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/OJ_Made_in_America.png Dir: Ezra Edelman Genre: Documentary, Crime Year: 2016 Not many documentaries can hold one's interest for 467 minutes. O.J.: Made in America is one of those films. There are several reasons why this is the most enthralling documentary in a decade where documentaries have really reached a golden age. The subject matter happens to be one of, if not the biggest, pop culture news stories of the past 50 years. I was just a kid when the OJ trial was going on, but even I had flashbacks to where I was when certain parts of the film unfolded. But it's more than just the subject matter--O.J.: Made in America is a microcosm for race relations, fame, and the criminal justice system in the U.S. The way it weaves contemporary events like the L.A. riots helps it become more than just a singular topic. It's a documentary that encapsulates this country for the past 30 years. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
