raised a lot of eyebrows

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2005)

I am the type of person that's not really into politics or political movies but I enjoyed JFK. It raised a lot of questions and fueled great discussions withing my circle of friends. The acting was excellent. I will admit that the 3+ hour time length turned me off a bit and it was hard to stay awake. There were parts that could've been speed up but overall, it was really well written and directed. I got sick every time they actually showed the bullit hitting Kennedy, just as sick as the time that CNN kept showing the planes hitting the twin towers. I realize that it is part of history but some things are unbearable to watch. I wasn't born when Kennedy was shot but the movie gave me a feeling of what it was like for those who had been there or doing something in their lives when that moment happened.
