Assassination stronghold

Hijacking the President? Hehe, I just finished watching [Assassination of Kennedy] a few days ago, so as far as the subject matter is concerned, it's not particularly novel to me, but it's still pretty good. The narrative structure of the film is very interesting, but the previous experience of different characters at the same moment slowly entangles things together, which also allows the audience to see things more clearly from a personal character, and then "meet" through a little girl. At the same time, it's the first time such an approach has been seen in an action thriller. The screenwriter is good, the editor is also good, and the pace is good, especially the latter, if you don't get tired of the former method of using different people to describe colleagues at the same time.
