E_Buzz_Miller For over a year, OJ was all America talked about. Every tiny detail or gossip was a headline. I had no interest in reliving it all by watching this movie. Then, credible sources were saying this miniseries was really quite good. It is!I had forgotten so many of the crazy and insane twists and turns of this trial. Learning more about the motivations, interactions and histories of the people involved was an eye opener. Even the jurors point of view is well done. Everyone who was in that courtroom - except OJ - desperately wanted to be there. It wasn't long before they all regretted it.
Clifton Johnson Initially, I was like, "The OJ documentary is how long?!?!" But I never realized that this story could be a prism through which to understand race, class, privilege and celebrity in this country. And watching it while a jury debates over whether Walter Scott's killer was guilty of anything? It reminded me that many things have changed...and many things haven't. I experienced OJ's trial as a college freshman, but I didn't understand it till now.
Sean Ramsdell Glad ESPN (my favorite channel of all time) made OJ:MIA. Goes to show you prejudice pays (black and white) and Juice was a monster from the start. A cautionary tale about manipulation, discrimination, attention, selling out, etc. I also recommend June 17, 1994 (also made by ESPN), a collage full of news coverage of Juice, archival footage, audio of Simpson during car chase, coverage of other sporting events (Arnold Palmer's final competitive game, Ken Griffey Jr's home runs, NBA Finals between Rockets and Knicks) and the use of Talking Heads "Heaven".
Duan If you think this will only be about the death of two white people by the hands of rich and successful black man, you will be in for a rude surprise. You are taken on a epic voyage back in time, through the great black southern migration, to the civil rights movement, how people view these epic times. How a person can come from an isolated community and be propelled into a new environment they have no prior exposure. While the documentary gives you deep exposure to the O.J. Simpson case, some people will say that this documentary will convince you that he committed the horrid murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman - I still have two questions - how did a person kill two people this violently and only have traces of blood on them and no bloody clothes; how in the hell was he able to pull this off within 45 minutes and catch a plane? I have more questions than ever. But, the best thing to do before you watch this documentary. Sit down, relax, open you eyes, let your curiosity take hold and go where the filmmakers take you.
