剧情介绍
This documentary by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky details the murder trial of Delbert Ward. Delbert was a member of a family of four elderly brothers, working as semi-literate farmers and living together in isolation from the rest of society until William's death. A police investigation and Medical Examiner's autopsy suggested that Bill may not have died from natural causes and Delbert was arrested on charges of Second-Degree Murder. Under questioning by police, Delbert appears to have waived his rights and signed a confession, but this film suggests that he may not have been competent to do so. The film explores possible motives for the crime, from 'mercy-killing' (Bill was ill at the time) to progressively more bizarre hypotheses. It also shows how residents of the rural community of Munnsville, NY rallied to the support of one of their own residents (previously considered a social outcast), against what they felt were intrusive 'big-city' police and District Attorney tactics.

Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky made the film not to prove guilt or innocence, but 'to reveal emotional truths about the human condition.' http://articles.latimes.com/1993-02-11/entertainment/ca-1629_1_joe-berlinger/2

To look (listen) is to love. 道德伦理与法制的泥潭。贫苦农夫一辈子胆小内向默默无闻地生活,却因为涉嫌弑兄成为媒体电影人警察关注的对象。无罪释放后犹如重生。故事观影后班里同学大部分认为他是有罪的,即便施与同情。

如何从一个个人塑造一个群体,如何以一个群体塑造另一个群体与其出现的对立与矛盾,影片试图以小见大,反应城市化所带来的人际隔阂,但影片节奏终归是慢得吓人了。
