It makes you think!

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2002)

When this movie came out, the critics, and the government spent so much time bashing it, I had no clue what is was about. When my sister, and her husband saw is, I asked how was it, they said it was great!
Not long after this, I saw 'The JFK Assassination:The Jim Garrison Tapes' on a movie channel. I had no clue who Jim Garrison was. I watched it, and just about everything Jim Garrison, and the other people said was documented. It was only then that I found out that 'JFK' was based in part on Jim Garrison's investigation.
Oliver Stone did his homework on this one! He did stick pretty much to what Garrison found out. He also worked with some of the researchers in the Kennedy assassination, like Robert Groden, and Dr. Ceryl Wect. Stone said that the film serves a public service in the way that it brings all of the substantial criticism in one place.
If you just take this as a movie, the acting, casting, and the directing is top notch! It is a star studded affair. there is even a cameo by Garrison himself, as Earl Warren! How's that for casting!
On the other hand, if you watch this for the message, and still say this is all fiction, do yourself a favor. Watch the British special 'The Men Who Killed Kennedy', or 'The JFK Assassination: The Jim Garrison Tapes'. After seeing all of this, no matter what you think happened to John Kennedy, it makes you think.
