About this movie

Academy Award-winner Oliver Stone's ("Natural Born Killers," "Born on the Fourth of July") highly acclaimed and Academy Award-winning docudrama chronicles New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison's investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy - controversially putting to the test some of the incredible details of the official "single assassin" and "magic bullet" explanations that have quietly plagued the nation for decades. Academy Award-winning superstar Kevin Costner ("Rumor Has It ," "The Bodyguard") heads a tremendous all-star cast, with the real Garrison in an ironic cameo as future Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, of the government's infamous Warren Commission. Leonard Maltin acclaims this dramatic tale as "absolutely riveting...superb...Oscar-winner for Robert Richardson's cinematography and Joe Hutshing and Pietro Scalia's phenomenal editing."

When the leader of the free world, has a shadowy family background, an ambitious Father, early mob ties via whiskey running/Senatorial aspirations/power play sexual conquests, something like 33 females in 30 something months, while being publicly presented as Husband/Father of the year, Marilyn about to spill the beans, Russians, space race, plus no FBI conclusions, JFK was taken down by his own people, our Caesar..coup de'tat...Almost a hundred years later, still no public honesty. Great movie!

HELLO SELF KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS: WHEN I WAS A BOY THESE COVERT BODY GUARDS DID THE SAME THING LIKE YIGDAL AMIR DID IT TO HIS BOSS IN ISRAEL, IN TEL AVIV, 1998. I ALSO NEVER SUBSCRIBED TO CHEAP PULP FICTION LIKE B F SKINNER OR PAVLOV'S SALIVATING DOGS STUDIES SIMPLY FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON: MY SIBLINGS WERE TOO MUCH TOO CONCEITED AND DOWN THE NOSE LIKE THE BRITS TO EVER ALLOW OR CONSIDER THEIR ANIMALISTS: GEORGE ORWELL OR ALDOUS HUXLEY TO WIN THE DAY AND ALLOW THE BEHAVIORISTS OR COGNITI

Whoever at Google wrote the synopsis of this movie should be ashamed of himself. What a ridiculous and disgusting farce. The reality that the facts of this case are still being covered up or dismissed is all the proof you need to see the truth.
