An Excellent Movie for Every Generation

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2013)

This great film is directed by Oliver Stone and written by himself and Zachary Sklar . I know it's a little strange on 4th of July to watch this film about the corruption of the government, but this is a must see for any generation.
This is absolutely a legit film, it's 3 hours long, but I never can get my eyes off of it. It's so well-directed, from the intro to the finale, just perfect. It starts with introducing John F Kennedy and the events that has happened up to the day he's getting shot, like Argo that gives a summary of the Persian history, then killing of the president and its investigation by Jim Garrison and his team, which it all leads up to revealing big controversy theories about the president's death . Oliver Stone has done such a wonderful job here; it's so obvious how much efforts he has put to tell this story accurately and truthfully. The chaos among the people, the chaos at the shooting scene, recreating the shooting scene, the flashbacks, all these are being shown so perfectly and the evidence of his hard work - I was reading that they spent $70,000 at that time just to recreate the JFK's office precisely, which only has 8seconds in the whole movie. Another great aspect of the film is whenever there's flashbacks to the shooting day, the flashbacks aren't repetitive footages, and flashbacks of the other characters are believable, in my opinion it comes from the great cast who all bring great performances, the cinematography, the editing, and even the dark dramatic soundtrack, when these flashback come on the screen, you feel being there. The screenplay has great, strong dialogues, in fact this film is filled with a lot of dialogues and narration, but these are interesting dialogues that you don't want to miss, a lot of information and materials are being exchanged among characters, and I mean a lot. I seriously don't need to mention anything about the cast, the list says it all and none of them disappoints. I should mention that Kevin Costner has such a critical role here because you need to be convinced he's doing all these investigation for his country and future generation, and I'm not a big fan of his, but he seriously has nailed it here, I really like his performance here when his character is facing the frustration and difficulties and risking everything to reveal the truth to everyone.
This is one of my favorite films of all time, I give it 10/10, and happy 4th of July.
