True crimes should be done more than money and entertainment – The Daily Wildcat

Truman Capote set a high bar when he wrote his pioneering true crime novel “In cold blood. “” His research has been a firm in the city Holcomb for 5 yearsCarry out extensive interviews and collect thousands of notes. In the decades later, the genre would turn into strange new media. A pioneer with a pioneer in the genre, Errol Morris'S documentary “The Thin blue line“” Would mix surreal nuisance with the respondents when they speak in front of the camera as if they were starey in their soul. Morris' modern style of real crime documentary films is still imitated by countless Netflix productions. At that time her style was new, but her technique was rooted in a very fundamental journalistic integrity.

But the real crime has turned into a strange ridicule of itself. Instead of spending for years in order to displace dozens of interviews, police reports and thousands of notes that have come into a coherent narrative with contradictions, the type of fast food couples with murder.

When “Thin Blue Line” debuted in an era in which non -fiction film were remarkably unpopular only surrounded 1.2 million US dollars domestic. Well, non -fiction books such as “z.”Elton John: Never too late” Are Value creation offers for 35 million US dollars Just for streaming rights. True crime is hot. Everyone and their mother want a foretaste of this true crime money.

There was one Cycle screenshot The Internet for a few years of a YouTube video of Stephanie Soo With the title “The 42 -year -old father marries his biological daughter and then kills her | Increasing the tenders of Cane Mukbang.” IT does not matter how advanced technology becomes, no AI image generator will ever be able to replicate the sheer aura of this image. The massive overcrowded tub of the sauce's sauce, which sits next to a stack of chicken finger, is soos bladder facial expression and title more with the incest and less with the murder of an actual person.

The video itself is a work of art – and not in a good way. Soo is very happy about the case of Steven Pladlwho murdered his daughter Katie Pladl – with whom he had an incestive relationship – her child and katie adoptive father before died by suicide. The three-time murder self-murder is nothing very funny, but soo it fills your retelling of the housing with incest jokes before being used in a 2-minute advertising for Glases.com. It is an amazing, albeit a terrible sight when the severity of Katie Pladl's murder for a sponsorship is minimized and exploited.

I am not a mind reader; I don't know why it thought that it was okay to combine Mukbang and true crimes in an unholy chimera. From a purely financial point of view, it is a smart idea. They are two massive genres that beat the two together brings both audiences together. But the fact that the true crime is confused in a genre that such instinct can be caused and executed is bad.

I bring it soo because it has made progress over the years. Most of her videos from Mukbang/True Crime have been removed and she keeps her mukbang and the real crime on separate channels. Soo's Website functions fair Extensive procurement For your videos and an admission that your content is not investigative in nature. Soo has shown that true crimes can be a better, ethical genre if the creators are ready to address criticism. It is anything but perfect, soos mass production of true crime videos is alone in a bad taste, but she is a successful entrepreneur. Soo saw that there is a demand and that it has the supply to meet it.

“People are so attracted to people to pay people to see things like the ink fish game, but we don't already pay Netflix to see Squid Game, so we're not already there?” Said soo In the astonishingly titled title: “He put a hammer in her brain to” repair “her, and that's what happened | Mexican food Mukbang.”

More mainstream True Crime suffers from his own topics. While it is a proven method for stories to achieve the direct participants, the flood areas such as Netflix and Hulu seem to be the actual desire to examine their cases to stop the flood of actual crime documents such as Netflix and Hulu. Back in popular cases and papalizing police narrative from word for word.

Take the last year Netflix -Documentary “What Jennifer did”About the murder of Bich Pan. The producers of the documentary, instead interviewed Six police officersTwo friends and one piano teacher. None of the accused, nor the surviving victim or one of the lawyers on both sides of the case. No, police officers. The end result is a documentary without real revelations. A glorified Wikipedia summary. For a high budget, professionally twisted and edited Netflix document, “what Jennifer act” is not remarkable in relation to the case he covers.

It is not wrong to ask police officers about cases in which they were involved. It would be stupid not to be. But only on her as the only referee of truth has become a crutch for too many documents for true crime, which is ironic for a genre that is defined by a documentary about the misconduct of the police. Morris' efforts with “The Thin Blue Line” In the end landed to Relief from Randall Adamswhich was wrongly sentenced to murder of a police officer. If Morris had just stopped in the official police count, Adams would have died in prison as an innocent man.

But the cop show-like format of true crimes leads to a simple catharsis. Terrible evil monstrous criminals are caught and imprisoned by heroic police officers. Present as a real, cruel crime in fictional morality.

A shining example of true crimes that has fallen the general sensational, popcorny and simple nature of the genre in recent years is the book “Slenderman: online obsession, mental illnesses and violent crimes of two girls in the middle west”By Kathleen Hale. The book tells the sensational Slenderman sting Without ever using the sensation. Instead, Hale focuses on the complex small city policy of Waukesha, Wisconsin. It humanized the victim Payton Leutner and examines the mental health of Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier and shows the treatment of people with mental health problems through the judicial system.

Hale's examination was strange, thorough and sensitive. It may sound like that, so this should be the necessary minimum that is necessary for writing in this genre, but actually asks a lot with the current state of true crime.
