Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

scottknight-46618 Im 23 so outside of chappelle's show and Family guy I knew nothing of OJ, except he was a murderer.This documentary is of high quality, but alot of the content is frustrating as a person with intelligence. The second episode in particular, where it tries to make you feel sorry for a thief; no.

hejonasp A documentary should be like a silent objective observer, that wants to let the bigger picture paint itself, by including a balanced amount of relevant sources. That is definitely not the case here.This "documentary" doesn't do it's job. It argues O.J. Simpson isn't black enough for there to be any possibility of racist motives about the trial and investigation around him.White old "expert" men tell the story to us viewers, of what the situation of black people in the US were prior to the case with O.J. Simpson. And how we viewers should interpret O.J. in particular. Many of the things these white old men say, are so out there, it's shocking this could even be considered for an Academy Award.It seems the only black people who get to speak, are ones who knew O.J. from his school days, and they barely comment on the case itself.This documentary is quite sloppy constructed from the start, by leaving out so much. We practically learn nothing about O.J.'s life prior to his breakthrough as an American football player. The footage used is very blurred, constantly repeated, and you almost get dizzy trying to keep up as they move back and forth in time. It seems like they had barely no access to footage about O.J., and no intention of telling a story. They rather paint their own story, which has no direct relevance to neither O.J. nor the trial.An agenda would had been perfectly fine though, if it didn't appear to have such obvious preconceived motives. Why didn't they describe Nicole more and her background? Why didn't they tell this story from a woman's perspective, who was beaten by her husband? It takes a long time before they even mention her at all.This entire "documentary" is highly embarrassing. It fails in editing, and even in building up sympathies for the agendas it has. It's rather a political statement that doesn't care for a second what O.J. did and did not do. Rather whether he is black enough to justify calling anyone a racist.

vostf I couldn't wait to watch this acclaimed documentary since I had only a superficial understanding of what happened during the 1995 trial. At the time of the resounding 'Not guilty' verdict I remember thinking that in America money could buy you out of prison even with overwhelming evidence against you.Ezra Edelman's documentary brilliantly adds maximum perspective to the original verdict. That OJ Simpson was, at heart, a man from the ghetto who would talk himself out of most situations (even if that meant leaving his buddies behind to save his neck) and as a man who reneged on his roots to enjoy the high life as the equal to other affluent (white) people. This last point is essential since this makes playing the 'race card' during the criminal trial even more outrageous (if that is indeed possible), but it also explains that the man was so obsessed with his image that he became just a big psychotic narcissist: an affable successful man in public and an extremely insecure (jealous and paranoid towards others but in denial about himself) thus prone to bursts of violent rage in his private life.The documentary also does a great job of describing the history of LAPD abuses against minorities. Simpson's defence posse eventually tried to connect this ugly context with the criminal case. Actually it was enough for the jury (already prejudiced in favour of Simpson) to think there was at least a reasonable doubt that all the evidence pointing at OJ's unmistakable guilt was not reliable. Which is silly because the defence strategy was about describing a litany of hypothetical doubts, not proving any actual weaknesses in the prosecutor's case, and wrap it under the argument that the LAPD has a history of gross misconduct against black people.As good as the documentary is presenting the facts, giving us a fascinating insight into the so-called "Trial of the Century", I felt I lacked something. I mean the 'Non-Guilty' verdict is even more disturbing after this comprehensive review. You just cannot believe that the "race card" just won the case. So I went on the read Vincent Bugliosi analysis of the trial (Outrage, the 5 reasons why OJ Simpson got away with murder) and I was thus able to link the dots: the prosecution fumbled his way through a truckload of sound evidence (plus another mountain of circumstantial evidence). You actually have a hint of this in Made in America: Christopher Darden is presented giving in to the defence tease to have Simpson try the gloves on. But for the most part direct testimony from Marcia Clark weights in on the overall 'Fatality thesis': this case was doomed from the start for the DA's office. It's like bad things happened for the poor prosecuting team (there were 2 dozens attorneys working the case !) but they had no way of preventing it or making up for the lost ground...I understand it is difficult to line up witnesses to sit in front of the camera and kind of stab them in the back by pointing the finger at them. I understand the focus of the documentary cannot be lost on a deep analysis of the trial yet there lacks one essential commentary at some point between the 5th and 7th hour of the storytelling. More precisely it seems strange that Mark Fuhrman is left alone defending himself for what happened when the prosecutors dumped him like a pestiferous witness in 1995, and with Marcia Clark continuing to blame him 20 years after (despite her dismal work in court she earned millions to write her whining account).

eyelash-96234 This guy is guilty as sin. He is nothing but an egotistical butt head. He killed Ron Goldman & Nicole with not remorse what so ever. He deserves to stay in jail in NV for the rest of his life. It will more than likely save another woman for another horrific death. When even some of the jurors stated that they voted not guilty because of revenge of Rodney King that was so wrong. Mark Furhman is also a butt head for his remarks, but that does not excuse OJ to get away with murder. When even his best friend & manager states he's guilty...that say something. I hope to God that all of the money from all of the shows that have been on lately, that the money will go to the Browns & Simpsons. Even his friend Kardashian look astonished with the not guilty verdict.
