The Father Of The True Crime Documentary Is Back With A Charles Manson Netflix Movie

Documentary films continue in real crime and investment factories in prosperity, especially on Netflix. Although the topics and topics on hand may be different, almost all of these documents share a familiar formula: there will be interviews in talking between both archive news clips and elegant dramatic recreation of events. More times, this recreation also follows a familiar formula: the faces of the actors who depict real characters are usually obscured, and their movements often occur in a slow movement of additional effect.

If you have ever wondered Why Many real crime materials stick to this familiar approach, the answer can be returned again to the 1988 “The Thin Blue Line” documentary. Morris was followed by the story of Randal del Adams, a man convicted of the killing of a police officer in Dallas. Morris’s movie explained that Adams was innocent of the crime, and the documentary was very effective and actually helped to clear Adams a year after its release.

While “The Thin Blue Line” is held with great respect these days, Morris’s movie was controversial upon its first time. When Morris made the “thin blue line”, he chose to use the elegant and dramatic entertainment for some events, and while contemporary viewers tend to think about this approach as standard (and even the cliché) in the true documentary type of crime, while the film was released, this approach was very unusual. Some critics even claimed that the film was not considered a “real” documentary because it used a lot of entertainment. However, despite all this, the film’s reputation increased only in the years that has passed since its release, and its approach has become very influential between other real movie makers.

Due to the influence of the “thin blue line”, Morris can be considered a father of the documentary type of real crime – almost every real crime that follows its plan. Now, Morris has returned with a new documentary for the crime, covering a topic that will be very familiar to lovers: murders of the Manson family.

But the new Netflix movie from Morris, “CHAOS: The Manson Murders”, does not tell the same old story that has become common by the book Vincent Bugliosi and CURT Gentry “Helver Skelter”. Instead, Morris Tom O’Neill and Dan Pepinbring “Charles Manson, CIA, and secret history in the 1960s”, which provides somewhat horrific conspiracy theory suggesting, perhaps, perhaps, CIA Control Control with Gurders Manson.

Most people may know the basic details of the Manson story. In the sixties of the last century, a musician gathered a short wish called Charles Manson is often a cult of hippiens to form a kind of communication in California. Hoping to start the race war, Manson sent some of his followers over two nights in August 1969 to commit a series of heinous murders, including the killing of pregnant actress Sharon Tate. Meanwhile, Manson did not commit any of the same killing, he was seen as the leader of the entire situation. Manson was finally sentenced to life imprisonment, and he died in 2017 while he was still imprisoned.

Manson still waving on the horizon over the scene of pop culture for various reasons. His family’s crimes, coming in 1969, indicate a kind of the end of the free Habi era. The fact that the crimes also took the life of a beautiful young (and pregnant) actress also made her a heavy feed to consume the media, as did the exciting experience of Manson and his followers. This “Helver Sercelrt” was increased only of this interest, as well as many books and other films, including the last Quintein Tarantino “once in Hollywood”, which dared to present an alternative history approach as Manson Rashid’s students (and eventually defeated (and violence) before they harm anyone.

Despite many media and pop culture of the events surrounding Manson, many of the unanswered questions revolve around the issue. The biggest question that tends to ask again and again is: “How?” How exactly, did Charles Manson talk about a group of children in committing a series of horrific murders? The common consensus, including among the members of the Manson family themselves, is that Manson was somehow able to wash their brain. But again, the question remained: How?

In 1999, journalist Tom O’Neil was appointed by Premiere magazine to write about Manson’s murders. O’Neill had three months to present the piece, but in the end, the deadline – and he continued to dig. The final result of O’Neill’s work was the sprawling book “CHAOS: Charles Manson, CIA, and secret history in the 1960s. I read it, a while ago I found it great, I must also admit that he gave me a little headache. O’Neill’s book is declining to some wild roads and ends up with the feeling of the word printed in the famous “Pepe Silvia” moment from “It is always sunny in Philadelphia.”

In the book, O’Neill and Co-Colliter Dan Piepeenbring assumes that there is an opportunity for Manson crimes to have to do with the famous MKULTRA program at the CIA. Although this seems to be a story of pulp, MKUTRA was very real: the CIA really tried ways to control people’s minds across medications and other methods. The book “Chaos” is trying to connect points by drawing with a character called Dr. Louis “Jolie”, a psychiatrist working at the CIA that was hanging in the Hait Ashbori area at a time when Manson was waiting for him, and still brings his family. The only problem is that although he did his best, O’Neill has never been able to connect Manson and the West.

To be clear, O’Neill’s book never came out and strictly saying something like, “Charles Manson was working with the CIA!” It simply indicates that Manson’s supposed brain wash, which included abundant amounts of hallucinogenic medications, carries an amazing similarity to the work that the CIA was doing with MKULTRA. Everything can be coincidence. Or it can be something more evil.

After reading the book, I was very curious to find out how Morris will deal with “chaos”. Disappointment, Morris’s approach is amazingly clear. The director has worked with Netflix by The Underseen and the Wonderful “Wormwood”, which is the miniature of the documentary and imagination. This work was truly comfortable (and such as “chaos”, such as “chaos”. also It focuses on the potential mind control elements of the CIA), while “chaos” is more or less than a true crime document that puts the case. Morris seems more interested in presenting the events schedule instead of deepening in the depths of the weeds for the objects of the mind, and it is completely clear from the beginning that the director does not buy any of them.

“Do I think MKUTRA was programmed by the government – a candidate from Manchurian programmed to kill?” The director told the Guardian newspaper. “Not completely. Is it possible to prove it? I don’t think so. But can it be refuted? I don’t think it can be. One can provide the required doubts.”

Although I hope Morris will be more boldly more bold with this documentary, “Chaos” still makes a captivating watch leave you with more than a few uncomfortable questions.

“Chaos: The Manson Murders” flows on Netflix on March 7, 2025.
