A movie review with a lot of likes mistakenly thinks that the big man is JFK, but it is not a few screenshots that can clearly overturn the conclusion that it is JFK
The successor president after Kennedy's assassination was Lyndon Nixon. He talked about the armistice on TV in 1969, so he visited China in 1968 and 72, and stepped down due to the Watergate incident in the same year (another side: Forrest Gump Gang in 1971) Nixon stabbed in the eye in 1972, Nixon was ousted by Forrest Gump)
Only Martin Luther King Jr. died in 1968
Kennedy was assassinated in '63
The parents of Hoover and Martin can learn about it in a short
The last scene where the priest gives the black girl the video is also a hint
But another possibility is Robert Kennedy, who was also assassinated in 1968, but the motive of the priest giving the black girl film in the last scene is not very plausible
And the lie-gun agent also has a special tendency to discriminate against blacks. It is indeed Hoover's horse boy.
