JFK story creation

Kevin Costner played Garrison trying to find the truth in "Assassination of Kennedy", and his low-key acting style is very suitable for this movie. But before the film was filmed, after seeing the script sent to him by Oliver Stone, he turned down the invitation of the great director. You know, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford were also invited. In the end, it was with the help of Kevin Costner's agent that he was persuaded to participate in the film. After accepting this role, Costner conducted a detailed study of Garrison's role. He visited Garrison himself and his friends, as well as his enemies.
In addition to Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman and Kevin Bacon, the film also attracted many other volunteers who are willing to participate for free. They include: the real Jim Garrison, who is in the film Acted as Justice Warren; Sean Stone, the son of Oliver Stone, who played the son of Garrison in the movie.

    Oliver Stone has no intention of finding the truth. He just subverts authority, mythological narratives, and the lies that are laid out through sophisticated weaving (reconstruction of images and historical images), as if to say (that is, the way the narrative is structured): see now ! I can concoct a more realistic and thrilling version! This superficial arbitrariness and bigotry carries the anger and conviction of a person who pursues the truth. ps: This is the movie that is worth looking forward to in our country.

    The least boring and most powerful political film I've ever seen, it's amazing! The climax of the half-hour courtroom eloquence is tear-jerking, perhaps a little over the top, but thought-provoking enough. Oliver Stone perfectly splices real historical video, documentary-style black and white images and cool movie images, basically restoring the truth of the assassination. Godly cinematography and editing, Costner's convincing performances, reflections on democracy and the right to know, could you ask for more? (9.0/10)

JFK quotes

  • Man at Firing Range: [Approaches Lee Harvey Oswald after Lee shoots at his target] I didn't pay two bits for a target just to have someone else shoot at it!

    Oswald Imposter: Hey, I'm sorry buddy- I thought I was, uh, shooting at that son-of-a-bitch Kennedy.

    [Chuckles]

  • Jim Garrison: I don't, I can't... I can't believe they killed him because he wanted to change things. In our time. In our country.

    X: Well they've been doing it all through history. Kings are killed, Mr. Garrison, politics is power, nothing more! Oh, don't take my word for it, don't believe me. Do your own work, your own thinking.

    Jim Garrison: I can't. The size of this is... beyond me. Testify?

    X: Me?

    Jim Garrison: Testify.

    X: Ha ha. No chance in hell. No, I'd be arrested and gagged, maybe sent to an institution, maybe worse, you too. Now I can give you the background, but you have to find the foreground, the little things. Keep digging. Remember, you're the only person to bring a trial in the murder of John Kennedy. That's important, it's historic.

    Jim Garrison: I haven't yet. I don't have much of a case.

    X: You don't have a choice anymore. You've become a significant threat to the national security structure. They would have killed you already but you got a lot of light on you. Instead they're trying to destroy your credibility. They already have in many circles in this town. Be honest, your only chance is to come up with a case. Something, anything. Make arrests, stir the shit storm, hope to reach a point of critical mass that'll start a chain reaction of people coming forward, then the government will crack. Remember, fundamentally, people are suckers for the truth - and the truth is on your side, Bubba. I just hope you get a break.
