Must see for anyone who is interested in the JFK assassination

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2011)

I have been interested in the JFK assassination for over 10 years, but after seeing Oliver Stone's movie I found myself needing to do as much research into what happened as I could. Reading books, researching online and even visiting Dealey Plaza. Even before seeing the movie my thoughts were that no man could've made 3 perfect shots from the TBD in such little time with a piece of crap Mannlicher Carcano, a rifle which has since been slated for being an almost unworkable piece of junk.
Stone's movie is thought provoking, tense, and dramatic. Filled with a star studded cast like Costner (who gives his best ever performance as Garrison), Sutherland, Pesci, Lee-Jones, Oldman it flows seamlessly, add to that a brilliant score by John Williams who is a master at film scores. The courtroom scene is probably my favourite part of any movie I've seen, a brilliant speech by Costner who nailed this part down to a T. None of his previous performances have topped this one
Now I wont say everything in the film is 100% accurate, but the bits that are accurate make you think hard about what really happened in Dealey Plaza that day. I was already a believer that the Warren Commission was a whitewash full of inconsistencies, this film and the book "Crossfire" by Jim Marrs confirmed it for me. And the single bullet theory sold by Mr Spector was so hard to swallow, that one single bullet could pass through 2 peoples bodies and change direction many times, was quite frankly laughable. There was a conspiracy, its just who was involved and how many were in on it is the big question.
Was it the Mafia?? The CIA? Anti-Castro Cubans? The Russians?? Do yourself a favour after seeing this film, research as much as you can and you may find the answer you are looking for. I have my own theory as to what really happened but that would take up pages and pages of words so I shall leave it there.
Suffice to say JFK is a must see for anyone who's interested in the assassination. My only gripe was that it was a bit long to watch in one sitting, its a film you have to watch 2 or 3 times so you can absorb all the info it gives you. Top marks Mr Stone, keep fighting the fight Oliver!
