Fact or Fiction?

Rating: 7/10 (23 August 2009)

As testament to how cleverly Oliver Stone's JFK was made, most people cannot distinguish where the real footage facts stop, and the storytelling and director's artistic license begin. A History Channel documentary even attributed the public's overwhelming belief in a JFK assassination conspiracy to Oliver Stone's 1991 film. While it is important to remember that the movie is a dramatic work of fiction, it is certainly fun to watch and gives rise to several good questions about the assassination of JFK.
The cast is quite amazing--Kevin Costner, Kevin Bacon, Sissy Spacek, John Candy, Tommy Lee Jones and others, topped off with a John Williams film score are cause enough for me to recommend this film. Save 3 hours and watch JFK
