Thin Blue Line

This documentary was different from the rest of the documentaries that we have watched in this class. Compared to the recent ones we have watched this one has a lot of dramatizations. This film seemed more of a crime story rather than a documentary. There was interviews with different people which is documentary type. But also a lot of reenactments. I find it hilarious that people actually think that the director was there at the night of the shooting conveniently holing a camera while filming this crime happen. They were obviously reenacted to show the viewers how the crime went down. Out of all the films so far I think this had the most reenactments and they were pretty obvious. I found the film very interesting. It was the type that makes you sit on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who did it. Back to the reenactments. This film was half interviews of real people and half reenactments but the director kept showing the same ones over and over again. It wasn’t and new ones. I also like how the director helped the other man that was innocent get out of jail by making the shooter admit that he did the crime. I still find it messed up that the man spent over 10 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit and didn’t receive any money for the governments mess up. He should have received something from this film for doing it also.
