This is a great and important Film

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2001)

I just re-watched the directors cut VHS of "JFK" after seeing "13 WEEKS" in the theater. If you have not read the published books on the JFK assassination trials, or are inclined to trust the official "lone gunman" version by default, Oliver Stone's masterpiece seems over-the-top paranoid. Kevin Costner does his best work in both films. I suggest that anyone who finds Stone's "Coup d'etat" version of history implausible view both movies. 13 WEEKS does a brilliant job of establishing the motive we seen borne out in the JFK assassination. Stones's film is wrenching, graphic, and hardhitting. Some materials from the second JFK trial (E.Howard Hunt vs Liberty Lobby 1985) are used. The second case was more conclusive, but Stone couldn't buy the book rights to "Plausible Denial" so he used the Garrison book on the 1969 trial for his drama. To understand what America has become, view both movies and read the books.
