    This trailer alone deserves on Oscar. The song played by Nina Simon " sinner man " is perfection. About a man who's committed such sin he can no longer run from so he goes to several places looking for God & is turned away. Finally he goes to the devil b/c that's who he had been running to all along. Brilliant

      Literally their were about 8 episodes 2 hours long. As each ep ended I couldn't hit my remote fast enough to get to the next episode. The oj murder trial in itself was & still to those day was something that will never be duplicated. U talk American tragedy this is it. Young back teen who was running w/ a bad crowd gets locked up as a kid for some juvenile delinquent crime. Only b/c he's a superior talent in h.s. some local cop reaches out to retired baseball legend Willie mays to talk to him to show him his home his money & tells oj he has a gift % football is his ticket out of the poverty he lives in.
      Oj obviously listened & he had his eye on the prize put everything ge gas into football only. No more getting into trouble. So he excels & usc recruits him & he not only makes his mark he wins the coveted Heisman trophy. At that time he's already married his hs sweetheart ( AC's girlfriend) & the day he wins the trophy his eldest child is born arnelle Simpson. Here's where America & the Civil rights movement parallel. Oj is approached by various athletes & people to use his newfound fame to help w/ the black persons cause. Oj declines thus the saying supposedly from him " im not black I'm oj " sure this should be the way things are in a perfect utopia. That we should be at a place where color is irrelevant u are oj not a black football standout but a colorless standout. That's not the world we lived in then or now.
      This is where the parallels between oj & race in America begin. Because of ojs affable charming nature & good looks start getting him major paying jobs by mega rich white corporations like hertz & Chevrolet. Being very famous will transcend race. Oj has done this & particularly b/c he never was a civil rights activist like Jim brown or Muhammed Ali he's picked to be a pitchman & because he wasn't controversial.
      So time go on & oj other than boyhood friend AC all ojs friends are older white golfers. He never even Gave back to the impoverished neighborhood he grew up in. In not even talking cutting a check but donating his time. At the 70s start to close oj who admits he cheated on both his wives. So Marguerite his pre fame black wife has had 2 kids & is pregnant w/ their 3rd a daughter they later named Erin. He goes to come club type place & sees 18 year old young gorgeous blonde Nicole. I get she was legal but oj being 30 alone he had way more experience & a grown up world he lived In for 12 years so just in age he's got the advantage over Nicole. Add his fame $$ & celebrity & Nicole was completely outmatched. Also he didn't just dump Marguerite either when he met Nicole he didn't file divorce for like 3 years. He didn't even marry Nicole for 8 years after he met her & 5 after he & his first wife were divorced. Ff to the wife beating the 89 arrest for battery where no regulat guy is getting the ridiculously light sentence he did. Nicole finally has enough & divorced him in 92. Right after the Rodney king riots have ended. In 94 Nicole & good Samaritan Ron are butchered.
      So to end w/ the case oj reaped the benefits of being used as a tool to get payback for Rodney king & the police. The irony is oj got the help from the community he ran away from.
      This documentary I hope is shown in every class which deals w/ everything. American history black peoples struggles after it took so long to even have equality then u have the murder case itself. Unbelievable.
      After all ojs weakthy white friends dropped him the real oj started to come out. Also his trial exactly expised the serious flaws in our judicial system. It was first shown in the trial of the cops who beat Rodney king to the point a Dr said song of his bones were like sand. The cops were acquitted cause the truck was in Simi Valley aka " Copland " every juror in that community was somehow a neighbor or friends w/ or related to a cop. All the evidence from day 1 pointed to one person , oj. I think the most shocking part of this doc is the one juror who admitted what everyone knew it was payback as she said. She also said 80% of that jury felt that way. The documentarian was so stunned he asked her " is that right?" She shrugged & put her hands up. So the blame starts at the top w/ Gil gercetti head of the d a s office. That trial should hsve have been in Santa Monica. Where the crimes occurred. Instead they put it in downtown l.a. where other than giving oj two free murders he was never going to be acquitted by that jury at that time.
      To see how divided in 1995 our country was woke a lot of people up. U had people cheering as the not guilty verdict was announced. To me this was disgusting. It wasn't a crowd reacting to a Superbowl. 2 innocent people wefe butchered either way the verdict went.

It's a football/sports documentary, a celebrity documentary, a Los Angeles/LAPD history documentary, a civil rights history documentary, an american racial history documentary, a murder mystery (in a way, becuase even though we know OJ killed them, we don't know if he was the ONLY one who did it or if another person was at the scene with OJ) and it is a true crime/courtroom/film noire documentary ALL IN ONE! That's unprescedented. Also, the music is PER-FECT. PERFECT! It's LA Noire at its finest.

He had such serious issues growing up a juvenile delinquent but he was a great athlete ugh. W/o peace who cares. He was a narcissist a sociopath he stole his bff a.c. 's gf marguerrite & married her. Sad he left everything to only 1 of his 4 kids Justin. Arielle he loved but got sick of her living off him & never getting married. Jason had serious violence issues Sydney never got along w/ him & was old enough at 9 to remember her mom . Justin only 5 at his moms death had kids & was always good w/ his dad. Scary in his will he actually Said " if the Goldmans try to get the $$ nobody gets it " he held that hatred for thar family always. Landed him in prison & his will he hated Kim & Fred. Interesting to see if they contest Justin an innocent in all this inheritance

    Man this doc was so amazing that even the trailer deserves on oscar. Absolutely haunting to nina simone's " sinner man " starts off slow with the narration of " oh ur breaking the laws of God " to showing clips of civil rights con current with ojs rise to fame & it builds to the footage of rodney king then the music gets higher showing ojs sins. So powerful. The song fits perfectly " oh sinner man where u gonna run to-?" Bc even though he was set free he remained in a prison without bars. I love how the director constantly showed ojs life as it went along with life for black people. The biggest irony is that oj ran from the black community. During civil rights when he was becoming a collegiate standout & heisman winner he never wanted to get involved. People like jim brown & Muhammed Ali were there protesting. Ali deserves so much respect for refusing to go to Vietnam & in the sport he loved that he literally gave his life to have up the greatest title in the world & was suspended from boxing for 3 years. Now ali was going to get a cush job for maybe 6 months probably being part of the entertainment for the troops. Instead he used this opportunity to protest the vietnam war & more specifically all the young black men sent to war. Here they were not treated equally yet were being used in droves to fight a war. So u see ali give up the last 3 years of his prime yet oj is having no part if it. He had all white friends except ac who was a childhood friend. He dumped his black pregnant wife with baby no. 3 for an 18 year old blonde fair girl. He married Marguerite before fame. He only dated white women after her. Then when he needs to get off a double murder he was fine with the defense playing the race card.

    • @nattyps3160
      @nattyps3160 Рік тому +3

      @Ben Brislawn ty. The documentary by far is best I've ever seen. The way it covers the racial issues between black & white people & the Civil rights movement trying to make these enormous strides coincides w/ exactly when oj started his path to superstardom beginning as a Heisman winner & sports hero at usc & then drafted by the bills. It shows what black people are going through protesting the atrocities against them that started so many years before when 150 yrs before Lincoln freed the slaves but being that white people particularly the earliest white people have so much old wealth they had such a head start from all other cultures. They perpetrated the almost complete genocide of the native Americans. The first settlers didn't care that a whole group was here first & as another Civil rights activist , a powerful white marlon Brando was really the first huge iconic figure to call out the early white man for breaking 130 treaties w/ the native Americans. They saw this beautiful untouched land & wanted it all for themselves. Black people even after slavery had such a long way to go for any type of equality & the 1% got that money that they pass from generation to generation & keeping the wealth in the family by marrying other wealthy people. When u have a century plus start on another ethnicity it's so hard to catch up. Even all the settlers in the early 1900s from Europe had to catch up as well but so much money was made on the backs of slaves & off land that was stolen. So u have black people sick of being treated less than having to drink from different water fountains having to sit at the back of the bus not allowing black kids to go to school w/ white kids. So again all this parallels oj 's rise. A man who was on of the few that transcended race. Most likely besides his talent charisma & affable personality gets to be this pitch man for huge corporations. Part of that was oj wasn't controversial & didn't make waves about equality. As I Said men like Ali & Jim brown were controversial b/c of their public stance on equality. So time goes on ojs become richer getting more endorsements movie & TV roles dumps his black wife & children for an 18 year old very blonde girl. He was actually dating Nicole openly while his wife Marguerite had his 2 kids & was pregnant w/ their 3rd child Erin.
      When baby Erin was only 2 she drowned in the family pool. That poor woman lost her husband then her toddler at the same time cause this was around the time oj was living fully w/ Nicole.
      Ojs retiring but other than AC all his closest friends are white. The public continues to adore him white people love him for his endorsements of Chevrolet & hertz to name a couple. He's getting bigger movies like the towering inferno , Capricorn 1 & in the 80s started in the naked gun hugely popular film series. All the while living in the very wealthy community of Brentwood. He's never gone back to San Francisco & given back to the poor community he grew up in. He's completely distanced himself from the entire black community. He's also a wife beater. Oj had such a happy nice guy demeanor even his friends are stunned when Nicole tells them ojs bearing her culminating in his arrest in 89 when a badly beaten Nicole is in a bra & sweats running from the house collapsing in a cops arms covering in mud from bring badly beaten & falling as she's running from a raging oj. She tells the cops " uve been here 9x & u never do anything. Ojs even given the benefit nobody else would by asking to get dressed. Poor Nicole is screaming " he's gonna kill me !" Oj here is showing the differences between him & the black community. They are getting beaten rights violated a lot of times unfairly yet oj is not arrested as Nicole Said the other 9x the cops were called. He's arrested & still cause he's oj gets to tell the cops he's gonna go change meanwhile he gets in his Bentley to evade arrest. If he was any regular person the cops would be chasing him down. Instead they just let him drive off. Oj winds up only getting 2 years probation , a 700$ fine some mandatory counseling & a small number of community service. Anyone else would be on their way to prison esp given he resisted arrest & ran on top of serious assault & battery.
      This doc then brings us to 1991/92 when Rodney king is beaten badly by 4 cops clubs that finally police brutality gets caught on camera. The cops all get acquitted as this happened in Simi Valley. It's trial is there & Simi Valley is also known as " cop land " everyone on that jury is relayed to or friends w/ someone that's a cop. The anger at the police & the black l.a. community has come to an explosive head. Riots the city literally burning to the ground. The cops usually around when u don't want or need them are ordered to stand down. People are watching l.a become a war zone. At the same time ojs in Barcelona covering the Olympics for NBC & being honored in early 93 for being a bill & is celebrated before a bills game & put in their yearbook. Nicole has divorced oj & after some futile attempt at a reconciliation she ends it. A final 911 call is made from Nicole that after the murders is saturating the media. June 94 all the media covers oj Simpsons wife & friend Ron are brutally butchered. Immediately the media circus begins. Oj is running in thr Branco lpw speed chase. One helicopter reporter says he is stunned that the police not only allowed oj to voluntarily surrender himself after he knew for at least 24 hours he was under arrest & oj hired celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro. In the doc Gil garcetti says he kept expecting at the next stop a cop car would forcibly stop oj w/ either a barricade or all those police videos where the cops all come in serious high speeds crashing into the fugitives car. Instead oj w/ 90 million people watching gets a motorcade! Low speed & no sirens just letting oj dictate what's gonna happen not the police stopping him. Then the rest of the doc is history. The trial goes from being about a double murder to a separate satellite trial on furhman that his name was mentioned more than anyone. When the verdict was read it was a real wake up call to the country & the world to see how divided we still were in late 1994 along racial lines. Ron & Nicole sadly are mere footnotes. It was very sad to see any group cheering like it was a football game b/c either way two people were brutally butchered. As the doc goes on u see all ojs white golfing buddies shun him. Their are signs & flyers all over saying " butcher of Brentwood " one of the most shocking moments for me was to hear that one juror admit their verdict was payback. The documentarian is so taken aback he asks how many jurors felt that way she says 90% again shocked he asks " is that right ?" & she gives the old arms up as to say " oh well " I was just astonished how amazingly well this documentary was put together & how brilliantly oj & race from the 60s & to the aftermath of the verdict both were so parallel.

    This doc absolutely should end up in the National Library of Congress for Preservation. It’s not just a story about O.J., it a tale about race and race relations in not only the greater Los Angeles Area but America as a whole during the period it covers, especially during the 90’s when the murders and subsequent trial occurred. It weaves Simpsons life so beautifully with the larger story they’re trying to tell and how O.J. directly benefited from these torn race relations, in more ways than one mind you. It’s also about how are justice system can get back at you and punish you for things that you got off on in the past.
    The man was sentenced to 33 years for Armed robbery when he personally never carried a weapon during the robbery. Prison time should’ve been warranted absolutely and he did end up getting paroled after a little over 9 years behind bars, but the judge sentenced him to 33 years in prison, wildly excessive, the prosecution wasn’t even asking for that much time. Why do this? We’ll never get an answer, or confession rather, from the judge, but it was clearly retribution for not only him getting off on the double murders 13 years prior in ‘95, when he lost the civil suit in ‘97, he was ordered to pay restitution to the amount of 33 million dollars, of which he paid all of zero cents, basically giving the middle finger to the Goldman family, and once the law was able to catch up with him down the road, no matter what it wound up being, they would be sure to throw the book at him, and they did.
    OJ may truly be one of the most interesting, non-president, Americans who ever lived. His life is more fascinating than fiction,

      Absolutely & an incredible lesson in black & white history that parallels ojs rise & fall. A true American tragedy. W/o Rodney king & if oj was some nobody Even w/ $$ he would have either pled cause if the overwhelming evidence or would have had a 3 week trial & easily berm convicted. Pretty much everyone said w/ this jury & that exact time if they were shown a video of oj killing Ron & Nicole he was getting off. In this very doc one of his jurors finally confirmed what everyone thought it was payback for king the lapd all the real injustices towards black people . She not only admitted she voted not guilty b/c it was payback but 90% OF THE jury felt that way ! The documentarian was so taken aback he asked " is that right ?" She lifted her hands to say " hey it is what it is. "

    First off I hardly ever watched football 🏈 growing up. Never found anything about football that interesting. When I was a kid in 94 I kept seeing OJ on TV saying to myself " It's that guy from Naked Gun movie, why is he on the news so much???" A few years ago I decided to watch this documentary everyone keeps talking about. Best docuseries ever. Edelman was born to direct this documentary. As of today THE JUICE IS LOOSE.

    Because the vocals of it are haunting as hell and damn just the way this trailer is cut is one of the best of it's kind.

  • @nattyps3160

    The best documentary ever made. It amazingly showed so much American history & race which oj was this bridge to during the Civil rights movement by transcending racial barriers & being a rare at the time black pitch man b/c he was such a great athete & didnt get involved about civil rights or racism like Ali did. Then w/ this trial unintentionally was the bridge to show everyone how seriously America was still in 1995 divided along racial lines.
    To see white people looking horrified after the verdict was read & black people cheering. People that didn't give a damn about oj. It was some sort of payback for all the injustice black people had felt for so long. It was really sad to see any cheering. As this was not a celebration either way. Two people had their young lives ended in such a brutal way. Once the furhman tapes took a life of its own as Ron's father Said " Ron & Nicole were butchered. This is not now the furhman trial but about the man who murdered my son (& nicole) the biggest irony was oj was used as this tool as one minister said who was recorded leading cheers & tears when oj was acquitted. Oj could not have been more far away from being some civil rights symbol.

    It was interesting how they talked about his beginnings. He seemed like a humble and down to earth guy even after the fame but that same fame distorted his first marriage and family.
    If Nicole said he was violent since that very first date, and beat her up many hundred times after that, why didn't she run? Why did she keep giving him chances? Why did her family take his money? Didn't they have jobs themselves?
    Their greed killed them all, they all participated in her murder.
    The police and the legal system who treat celebrities with privileges are at fault too. Those lawyers who defend the undefendable forgot what they're fighting for and are just as guilty. He surely was defended as a black man when he never considered himself black. He never did anything to fight for black people's rights, on the contrary, he acted very white and careless for his race.
    Shame on Simpson for doing what he did, he's probably burning in hell.

      You’re clearly not familiar with domestic violence cases, it often is extremely difficult to leave these kind of relationships, especially when the male is in a position of power. But despite this she did eventually leave him, she attempted the first reconciliation due to the greed of her father who pushed her to give OJ another chance bc he was helping him out with a business venture. But she finally cut things off for good when he started beating her again, I think Nicole is the one person not to blame for this mess..

      Because the entire time he was a celebrity the dynamic/divide was always there which led to the case being exactly that or playing a huge part. Specifically what surrounded Los Angeles up until that point. It adds more context.

    Parts 1 and 2 of this docu really made me angry.
    I'm no OJ fan. He murdered 2 people.
    But what was wrong with OJ wanting to be recognized and judged (as MLK preached) by the content of his character FIRST before being recognized and judged by the color of his skin??
    All the guilty white liberals and childhood friends of OJ who were interviewed in parts 1 and 2, basically said that a black man is NOT ALLOWED to just be HIS OWN MAN and have HIS OWN thoughts, HIS OWN virtues, or be HIS OWN character. And any black man who does think this way, it just means that he is trying to act white? You can ONLY be a BLACK MAN and not just be A MAN??
    These people who all shared this same INSANE opinion in this docu are they THEMSELVES the racists.

      I agree but I do think OJ is a little wrong. Remember that scene in the first episode where OJ and that news reporter were at Joe Namath’s bar, and some lady was like “hey look there’s OJ with all those n-words” and OJ said “Don’t you get it, they don’t see me as that, they see me as OJ.” It seems like OJ was acting like it was bad that he was a black man, that he was ashamed of his race. He wouldn’t be in the wrong if he said “I’m a black man, but I’m more than just a black man, I have a name, I am someone and I am capable of more. I can succeed, I know better and can do better.”

    There was no outrage on his behalf by him or his attorneys saying that I told you I didn't do it now you need to go out and find the guys that did.
