The deepest impression is the last sentence at the end of the film. The fall of a generation of superstars is a tragedy made in the United States.
The weird thing is that Simpson, who enjoys the same treatment as white people, forgets his skin color and has never spoken out for black racial issues after he became famous. Especially when a series of black massacres and injustices occurred, he never had the social responsibility as a celebrity to express his position and attitude, and he never made any statement on the issue of race. Still it's none of my business, to draw a line with his countrymen, and to feel like I'm a white man, your business has nothing to do with me.
However, when he was accused of killing two people, his lawyer played the racial card, further inciting the climax of social racial debate. The impact of the case has long gone beyond the case itself, rising to blacks and racial discrimination in the United States. contest. Simpson played the protagonist of this historical event. Although he has never spoken out for black people or his fellow citizens, he let his fellow countrymen be happy to fight for him, but also unwilling to believe him. Is guilty, subconsciously believes that Simpson was framed and slandered, and created a pitiful image of a black man who was calculated. Not only won the sympathy of his compatriots, but also won the numb support of his fans.
The public opinion kidnapping of the two has created a sensational news history event, and this lawsuit is also coerced forward in the public opinion kidnapping.
This also caused the plaintiff's lawyer to lose the case. First, it was a man-made reason, and the fight was very difficult. Second, it was also because of the specific environment at that time, which caused the inevitable loss of the lawsuit. It was the times that gave Simpson a chance to breathe.
His light was still there, his fans cheered and his compatriots wept with joy. Everything is like a dream.
Is it the progress of the times or the beginning of the tragedy of the times?
Years of racial issues in the United States seem to have been reckoned with in this trial, whether deep down in the hearts of the African-American jury, they later admitted in interviews that, after all, this is a product of history. The physical or intangible effects of the environment on people. The African-American compatriots on the periphery seem to have evolved into a liquidation of the LAPD's judicial system, which is a historic cheer for African-Americans and a tragedy for white-Americans at the same time.
Over the years, racial discrimination led to injustice against African-Americans, and it swelled overnight, until the carnival at the moment of acquittal was rarely recorded in history.
The promotion of the roller of the times just happened to meet Simpson's peak moment, just happened to meet the cusp of racial discrimination between blacks and whites, just happened to encounter the tragedy of two lives, everything was just right, Simpson, who was blinded by the halo, and the compatriots who supported him. Fans, without exception, chose to believe in Simpson's innocence. In the end, the Times reluctantly acquitted him.
However, the late justice still came. Simpson escaped the sensational criminal case, but he could not escape a farce he directed and acted, and the civil case suffered its own consequences. Finally, he can take off the mask for many years, face his truest self, no longer need to live by lies, and face the cruelest reality. Faced with the fact that from poor birth to the peak of the final superstar fall.
