JFK

Particular and compelling review of the Kennedy assassination.

sI thought we would see JFK's life in the movie but it is not like that. We see the events after assassination. It is showing 60 years before, which was released 30 years ago.

After the batista was overthrown in 1959 with cuban revolution (1953-1959), usa tried to take down castro. In 1961 usa supported Bay of Pigs Invasion of cuba (so jfk supported also) but castro and cuba defeated them. That is why it is said cia wanted JFK dead.

Good to see kevin coster and kevin bacon. They are really young. Also i know some actors. Liz garrison is from bloodline series, some from alias, Wayne knight from jurassic park.

Some citizens are happy about JFK's death, some are sad. Interesting.

I think it was quite different days. A president could travel in a car which was not protected or armored. So defendless. MAybe he did not care about threads.

It was interesting, the suspect spoke to the journalists and the cops let it. Even, he said "cops hit me" and wanted a lawyer. It is really interesting.

3 years past but jim just realized something is not right. And started investigation. Without any fear. And probably he did not know about cia, fbi all was helping anti-castro cuban people to destroy castro. Or did he know that?

USa was amateur at that times but now they do those invasions better :)

Jim and others became a nice team. We can see people wearing hats. Modern ages.

Cia, fbi all are trying to hide. Killing the last witnesses.

That 'x' tells about how cia worked worldwide. France, nazis, italy, iran. How usa overthrown the governments. Except cuba :)

I dont like or dislike JFK, i appreciate some of his works (preventing wars, supporting blacks) but i am really sad to realize how security, cia or whatever left him so vulnerable -also i think his wife who was scared in the video- and prepared his death.

And 'X' gives nice advices. "Only chance is to come up with a case", "make arrests"... What a historical moment and advice for usa history. it would be better for jim if his wife was more supportive. She did not believe in him even. Then jfk then malcolm then robert was murdered.

In the last, he had such a great speech and influence but nothing happens. Why. I could not get it.

Addings after watching:
A nice oliver stone movie. 3.5 hours but not boring, so enjoyable movie. I hope one day everyone learns the truth which was hidden.

I watched that movie around on 2-3 april but today 17 july. I just finished review after months

I saw this movie in the theater with a friend from high school. I remember the two of us walking about of the theater looking for the government bad guy that was surely hiding underneath my car. Neither one of us could believe how our government could do this to us. Over the next couple of years I read just about every book on the assassination. It is amazing how there seem to be a hundred times more that support a conspiracy theory than what actually happened. Fast forward (gulp) eighteen years. It has long been proven that Oswald had in fact acted alone. While I openly distrust the government I pride myself in the ability to call a spade a spade. But for this whole time I had still enjoyed this movie for the way it presented this (fake) drama. No more. Want to see the truth? Here it is. And now I'm disgusted. Disgusted that I enjoyed this movie for so long and disgusted that Oliver Stone could take completely liberties with the facts. It is one thing to believe that there was a conspiracy and show why you think that the government was involved. It is another thing to make up events, characters and situations that can be proven to be BS. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com

Kevin Costner's reciting of, "Back... and to the left... back... and to left... back... and to the left... back... and to the left... back... and to the left," is now like implanted in my brain.

A great movie about the investigation into the assassination of JFK, namely the numerous issues arising from the official report. Great movie that teaches you a bit of history and will make you think

Makes you a scared to live in the country. Good thing it isn't historically accurate.

Good Cast, The movie was just too long at 3.5 hrs. I realize the theatrical cut is shorter but cuts out parts of the court scene at the end. Joe Pesci looked so wild with that Tupou and eye brows haha. The main part of the movie is the end really where the conspiracy is broken down.

Interesting but far too long. Also, who did that wig and eyebrows on Pesci, blasphemous.

It is still very, the work of direction and editing continues to stand out. What counts is scary, but it seems to be true

Not as good as expected.
The murder of JFK is very exciting, but the film was a bit too long.
