JFK & Gov’t Conspiracies - to23la
When I first heard about this movie made by Hollywood. I only thought of one thing ... entertainment. That's their job & that's what they do best. Since this movie was made by Oliver Stone, I knew he was going to tell us the truth. He wouldn't tell a lie, because his reputation mattered. Twisting the truth would only confuse more people about what really happened. The only people who'd want you confused are those responsible for JFK's assassination. After all, it was one of the greatest & most tragic mysteries of the 20th century. It took far too long to reveal the truth, but we finally got it. Unfortunately, some of you think that this movie was skewed. You really need to do your homework before commenting. I was so interested after watching it once. I then watched it again. However, this time I took notes of those named who were behind the murder of JFK & Robert Kennedy. Anybody who knows anything about conspiracies will not be shocked when you hear their names because these same people rule this world. They're the most corrupt, hypocritical, they control the media (newspapers, magazines, television networks, radio stations & books). That's right the history books that we read in school are FABRICATED. They don't yet control the internet where the truth can still be told. Check out these terms on YouTube ... Free Mason, CIA, Queen of England (Royal Family), The Pope, All Seeing Eye, Georgia Stone Guides, U.S. Federal Reserve, IMF, World Bank, New World Order, Monsanto, George Bush Jr. or Sr., Chemical Trails, AIDS, Ebola, H1N1, SARS, The Titanic, Abraham Lincoln & 9/11. Obviously, I can't list them all here but I've given you some hints. Checking out any of these terms will lead you to other conspiracies & NOT theories. Then you'll realize that main stream media have been lying to you all along. They only tell you what they want you to know. The TRUTH will set you FREE ... by whom GOD the FATHER or JESUS the SON.Five Star Entertainment with Two Star History - ABC99
I agree with all the objections to the version of history in JFK. I have no objections to entertainment here however. From the editing to the dialogue to the direction JFK is a film version of that book you cannot put down. Oliver Stone never came close to this level of entertainment. Each scene is layered with archive footage, reenactments, and alternate theories of events.
Even with the favorable treatment here Jim Garrison still comes off as kind of a nut...but judging JFK as a movie, not a textbook, it is fantasticJFK - CrazyCatLady
I was born a few years after the murder of JFK and grew up hearing of JFK's murder and the rumours that his alleged assasin, Lee Harvey Oswald, didn't act alone. My high school curriculum debunked the conspiracy theories saying it was nonsense and that there was no evidence to disbelieve the official "lone gunman" story. Looking back, those claims are not surprisiing; the curriculum my (religious) school used was based out of Dallas.
Then I saw Oliver Stone's masterpiece, JFK, shortly after it came out on vhs in 1992 and was blown away. My mouth literally dropped open as I realized what it was saying: not only was it impossible for Oswald to have acted alone, he NEVER pulled the trigger. I was stunned; this was news to me and the evidence put forward backed up the claims. I decided to read up on the assassination and came to realize that the movie is fairly accurate.
Director Oliver Stone has assembled a stellar cast, starting with Kevin Coster as Jim Garrison, the New Orleans DA who is the only person to ever bring a suspect to trial in the murder of the President. (The real Jim Garrison makes a cameo as Earl Warren). Excellent performances from the ensemble cast, including: Gary Oldman, Ed Asner, Sissy Spacek, Joe Pesci, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, to name a few.
This is definitely a riveting movie. I rank it up there as (a) one of my all-time favourite movies and (b) one of the best legal/lawyer themed movies ever. You may not agree with its conclusions, but that's all right. The whole point of the movie is to raise people's consciousness of the many unanswered questions that still surround the murder of JFK. Hopefully you will be inspired to do some research on your own. You'll be surprised to find out that the conclusions drawn here are fairly accurate. There's just too many coincidences - too many screw ups - to believe the official government story.
