When You Don't Know the Truth, Make Something Up: JFK

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2006
The Bottom Line: An excellently made film that will provide grist for many "what if" discussions, but do not confuse JFK with history.
Review: JFK (1991)

"Help, I'm stepping into the Twilight Zone
The place is a mad-house, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?

Soon you will...

Oliver Stone's J.F.K. - Is The Truth Out There?

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: Oliver Stone brings together the most comprehensive presentation of evidence of a conspiracy in the JFK assassination. It probably won't change any minds, though.
Review: As of late, I've become more and more intrigued with the investigation behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Those reasons are largely due to a personal connection I have to the investigation. I like to view various movies and...

JFK: A Criminal Investigation Is Not a Movie.

Date of Review:  May 20, 2000
The Bottom Line: Oliver Stone's flawed but brilliant JFK is an important American film. Whether it eventually stands with Uncle Tom's Cabin or Zola's J'Accuse depends on how we act upon it.
Review: What Assassins did to President John F. Kennedy in about six seconds at Dallas nearly 40 years ago, Director Oliver Stone does in just under seven minutes for his 1991 film JFK, mostly behind the credits. Remarkably, only a half a minute of that...

"Back, and to the left... back, and to the left... back, and to the left."

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: If viewed strictly as a movie, JFK is a four-star piece of entertainment. As history, though, it's bunk. Watch it for the craft, not its "facts."
Review: One of the consequences of the shoddy and – let's be frank here – boring manner in which American history has been taught in our schools is that most of us acquire most of our "knowledge" about historical figures and/or events from movies and TV...

Stone's Shaky History Lesson

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Fantastic film making, but the evidence is deeply flawed and Oliver Stone should have known better
Review: There can be few directors who polarize critical opinion like Oliver Stone. One the one hand some people will tell you he's a film-making genius exposing the dark secrets and deep corruption at the heart of the American dream, while others regard...

Unforgettable- JFK

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2000
Review: Do you have questions about John F. Kennedy's assassination? Are you unsure if it was a conspiracy? If one man acted alone? If our government, the United States government played a part in killing one of their own, their commander in chief,...

Review: Remember, there's THE TRUTH (Shakes head with a menacing look) and "the truth". (Shakes head with a happy look on his face)

MY FIRST REAL PAIN

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2000
Review: I was a senior in high school when JFK was murdered. This was the first president I was going to be able to vote for and I was excited. To have been alive and old enough to realize what was going on during this tumultuous era was very eerie. There...

I wouldn't want people sticking their fingers in my bullet holes

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: You maybe ought to see it, but expect a lot of conspiracy sermonizing from Oliver Stone. The theoretical side often puts a drag on the movie's flow.
Review: My feeling is this: if you're meant to see a movie, hear a band, or see the beauty in a painting, it'll happen in its own time. I'm so used to being the guy in the room who still hasn't seen Forrest Gump or heard most of The Beatles' catalogue that...

Just More Questions

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: An essay in film form, still one of the most compelling historical films ever made.
Review: The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the profound moments in American history. Sometimes, it?s difficult to understand why, seeing as how I was born long after it happened. It might have been the first sign of the cynicism about politics...
