Comment on Capturing the Friedmans

In the documentary "capturing the friedmans," it shows a theme of realism with the use of homevideos. It shows various homevideos of the Friedman family during the wait of Arnold Friedman's trial. The way it shows the homevideos and newsreel makes the documentary more real. In "capturing the friedmans," they interview detectives that were on the case but also so show videos and news interviews of the past during the actual event. That makes a greater impact with them talking in the past and present about the same moment.
