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."

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

I LOVE this film. Tho I don't believe it's very much fact I still really enjoy the film, have watched it several times and appreciate how it evokes thought, research and desire to keep it alive and to discover the truth. I read a comment someone says, "he died, what does it matter?" That's our future. Scary

It was good. However, I wish this film would have started as a book about the life and death of JFK and then been adapted into a movie.
