An Oliver Stone Classic
|
An Oliver Stone classic, this movie is packed with information, three hours and 20 minutes. Based on the investigation by Jim Garrison that ensued the death of John F. Kennedy, it portrays the lengths that one man was willing to go to bring justice to the American people.
You feel like you are brought back to that period of time when Americans still believed that our politicians were good people, and devoted to the freedoms that this country is based on. The lighting, the quality of footage, the costumes, down to the very innocent yet naA ve nature of the American public.
Gradually as Garrison unravels the case, the situation gets ugly and then uglier, unveiling the true intention behind the death of JFK. Garrison is confided in by many, telling him the facts of what they saw that day, evidence that was not only ignored but altered by the Warren Commission. People begin to turn on him, including his wife. This part of the story in particular demonstrates how difficult it was for Garrison, that even though his facts all lined up and the people knew about them, no one wanted to confront the horror of what this meant about our countries' leaders.
Stone illuminates details about the war industry, and the policies that JFK wanted to enforce. It is disturbing even today in 2007, that our government offices were so heavily involved in making certain that our president that wanted to bring about change for the better was assassinated because of it. It brings light to what is happening with our President Bush and his war today.
