One thing I really wanted to talk about in my part of the presentation was Bazin’s idea that no matter how detailed and descriptive the drawing, we would always prefer the photograph as a more accurate representation of reality and truth. This interested me because Morris uses two drawings in The Thin Blue Line. Both are, on the surface caricatures, of witnesses at Adams’ trial. I feel like they show so much more of the personality of the two witnesses and maybe a little bit of a bias too. When the one says that the judge told her she had a ‘big, fat nose”, not only does Morris show the trial transcript (or it might have been the paper), but also he shows the hand drawing of her, in which he nose is emphasized. Also, Mrs. Miller looks so devious in her drawing. For me, this created a feeling of skepticism towards her right away. Also, it made me wonder, if she really looked like this, how did anyone take her seriously. Then that led me to wonder, if perhaps it would have been a photograph then my last sentence might have been completely different. I might have deleted the ‘if she really looked like this’ part.
