Director Oliver Stone added 17 minutes of previously unseen footage for the “director’s cut” edition of his hypnotic courtroom epic about the investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. That fateful day in Dallas set in motion a sequence of events that would only intensify the mystery behind Kennedy’s death, causing New Orleans D… More >>

I have no love for this film and i have no love for JFK as either man or President. I’ve watched this film several times including when it was playing in the theatre that i owned. The dumming down of America started with JFK. Why were people impressed and why do people even care who shot him? I was about 16 when he was killed,,,it had no impact on me at all. Actually anyone who was brought up properly would of had the same reaction as i did but somehow that generation of people fell in love with basically a sex symbol to many women and men loved him because he appeared to be athletic and said things that they thought was impressive. The famous quote “Ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” I love this country and i believe in taking care of this country but that stupid statement was the start of bring in the new order of corrupt political leaders and has put us in the worse shape we have ever been in. I’m not talking about anything outside of the walls of the US. I’m talking about the United States low class thinking, uneducated kids, trailer trash type of attitude when it comes to sports heros, the what’s in it for me thinking. Yes people you can thank one jerk for the start of this and his name was JFK.

This is intriguing, like the film JFK. But that is canceled out by the fact that Jim Garrison and Oliver Stone completely slandered Clay Shaw! They should both have served time for it. How would you like it, if after you were dead, some ego-ridden director made a movie saying you killed Nicole Brown Simpson. It would be the same exact thing. Please, please, please read Gerald Posner’s book CASE CLOSED. It will show you logically that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone killer of Kennedy. I know that’s hard to believe, after all the conspiracy hype. I opened that book skeptical, but came away convinced. Posner also has a chapter answering the Jim Garrison/Oliver Stone theory, and answers why it’s garbage.

Walter Cronkite said that “Oliver Stone has foisted garbage on an unsuspecting generation.” And he’s right. Okay, the greatest crime of this film may be Kevin Costner’s inept southern accent. I always wondered why did the police go after Lee Harvey Oswald in the first place? Why did that officer, whom Oswald shot, stop Oswald? IT’S BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EYEWITNESS WHO SAW OSWALD SHOOT AT KENNEDY FROM THE BOOK DEPOSITORY WINDOW. But you never read this fact in a conspiracy theory, because it totally blows a hole in those theories. Read the truth of the assasination in Gerald Posner’s book “Case Closed.” This witness who saw Oswald shoot at Kennedy can be seen standing on the corner below and opposite the depository window in film footage from that day. After seeing Oswald shoot at Kennedy, he went to a policeman near by, and gave a description of Oswald. THERE WAS AN EYEWITNESS TO THE SHOOTING. That the witness was black perhaps gives bigots and racists reason enough not to believe his testimony. Pitiful and shameful. The film JFK is total crap, and slanderous and libelous against those smeared by Jim Garrison. I don’t think it is any small thing to falsely accuse someone of murder!! Which is what this movie does!! To see all these high ratings for this movie is disturbing. Garrison himself was likely a paranoid psychopath, who felt disturbed by his homosexual impulses, and so went after homosexuals like Ferrie and Shaw, as a defense mechanism, like the homophobic marine in the movie AMERICAN BEAUTY. If you pissed away the three hours watching this movie, then I implore you to INVEST more worthy hours in Gerald Posner’s book CASE CLOSED. I could go on and continue to make my case, but Posner makes it so much better–with well-documented evidence–in that book. Stone is now working on a movie about the assasination of Reagan. God knows, he’ll probably present the case that Reagan arranged to have himself shot. Stone is loopy enough to do such a thing. God help us all!

Except for some fine performances, this examination into the Kennedy Assassination really doesn’t tell us anything new or different. It’s hard to be entertained or informed by a movie that simply presents the facts everyone has heard a hundred times. Not even good as a documentary because it’s been Hollywoodized. If you like Oliver Stone, watch “Platoon” instead because it’s a much better film.
