It's most likely you know the outline of the case. The failed musician and wild hippie, Charles Manson ordered his “family” – primarily the drug-added runaway that lived with him on a ranch full of old movie sets – August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, August 8th, in the pregnant Sherna's father, Her husband, director Roma Polanski, was out of town at the time.
The story is well documented with all sorts of strange, pointy bits, from accidents and accidents (the one who was there that night) to his connections with Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson, to his worship of the Beatles and his strange behaviour and his adoration of Acolite. In his book, O'Neill has grown deeper and heightened the illusions of various conspiracy theories about potential secret government operations, with requests for space in time and some well-placed information, and at least the potential to be linked to the case.
O'Neill, a dog reporter who has been pursuing stories for decades, knows well in the book that he appears to be a bit confused, but that's because he systematically claims. There is no rigorous evidence, but there is no clear possibility that Manson has crossed the road. And perhaps with a secret tactic that creepyly intersects with mind control, like he was able to produce his followers. For example, through initiatives such as Project Mk-Ultra and Operation Chaos, the CIA experimented with initiatives aimed at controlling and creating the mind, such as Morris would place it as a Manchurian candidate in film terminology. Similarly, the FBI's Cointelpro project aims to disrupt groups deemed destructive, such as the anti-war movement, civil rights movement, communist and socialist organizations, the women's movement, and in particular the Black Panthers that Manson's family explicitly attempted to lock the murder into. These hidden tactics against the citizens are Morris' familiar territory, including the 2017 six-part series, Wormwood, which inserts small clips into “Chaos.” This seems to be a way to remind his more devoted audiences that this is not his first round on this topic.
“Chaos: The Manson Murders” features O'Neill, who says almost the same thing on screen. Most notably, Bobby Beausolire, a young musician who intersects with Manson in an unfortunate and harsh way, and who claims that Manson's motivation in committing murder is far more pedestrian than people like O'Neill. There are also archive footage of Manson himself during the trial and in several later interviews, as well as archive footage of both of his followers decades after their beliefs.
But the other voice that is most important in the film is Morris' voice, stylistically and literally – typical style, and we see him interviewing O'Neill (the camera) and Beausolire (on the phone). “Chaos” has the remains of the now established Netflix true crime style. Most notably, what happens in this documentary, a kind of mini-trailer of its own, is the inspiring almost introductory introduction that starting a film, perhaps the most visible sign that streaming has changed not only structurally but structurally, but also structurally. However, Morris has more influence than most documentary directors, and this is almost his film. He relies on interviews conducted by the director and is curious and skeptical. And it's obsessed with that single question: why do we continue to go back to this story?
