The Thin Blue Line

The Thin Blue Line

Adaptations

The Thin Blue Line is a documentary staged around an innocent man's murder trial and its outcomes. The structure of the film consisted as like a TV show how they would have the people involved in the case be interviewed. Scenes where then reenacted to give the viewer a picture of what may of happened. The director adapted stories told by the people being interviewed into a movie, they took what the people could remember and what was written down, to draw pictures of what happened. If they were to reenact the whole night in which the documentary took place it would be took much so they summarized hours of time by having the person being interviewed tell what happened but only show signs and little blips.

The movie was okay it felt like I was watching a TV show, I personally don't like crime investigation shows. The use of news articles was pretty cool and it helped paint the picture of what life was like when this case was happening. This movie although boring at points, could at others keep me watching, it is also good to see both sides and i felt as though the director did a very good job. I would rate this movie at 5/10.
