Oliver Stone's film, "JFK," had a significant impact on public perception regarding JFK's assassination by challenging the official narrative presented by the Warren Commission. The film portrayed District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation into a vast government conspiracy orchestrated by the CIA, with Lee Harvey Oswald being framed as a "patsy." By highlighting inconsistencies in the Warren Commission's findings and presenting alternative theories, Stone raised doubts about the lone gunman explanation and suggested that there was more to the assassination than initially believed. Despite facing criticism for its portrayal of Garrison and accusations of being propaganda, "JFK" sparked renewed interest in questioning the official version of events and led to calls for greater transparency in releasing classified documents related to the assassination.
