Watch O.J.: Made in America For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

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

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

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.

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.

A blistering and engrossing documentary about the O.J. Simpson murder trial that explores how the sensational event became a symbol for the racial tension that was just waiting to boil over in Los Angeles in particular and the United States in general.I was in college when the O.J. story happened, and I only half paid attention to it at the time, so it was fascinating for me to watch this film that seemed like a new version of an old story. The film makes no attempt to hide the filmmakers' opinion that the innocent verdict in the case was a gross miscarriage of justice, but I have to admit that, though I've always believed O.J. was guilty too, I would probably have acquitted him myself as a juror based on the dismal way the prosecution handled the case.But the grossest outrage about the whole event -- I felt it at the time and I felt it again watching the movie -- is that the murders that made the whole trial necessary in the first place were forgotten amid the racial baiting and the defense's willingness to capitalize on the emotions of an angry and disenfranchised black community. A seven-hour documentary may sound daunting at the beginning, but I challenge you not to binge watch it.Winner of the 2016 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, a complete no brainer of a win.Grade: A
