JFK

Absolutely recommend. The following quotes from other people's comments, I feel the same, and I reprint it: When I watched this movie, I kept thinking about this question: Since Jim Garrison is fighting against the entire state machine, they are powerful enough to murder the president and wantonly murder. Witnesses related to the case, (relevant data show that from 1963 to 1983, witnesses related to the assassination of President Kennedy had died 188 people), easily destroy the evidence... If they can assassinate Robert Kennedy at any time, Martin Lu Deggin, too, can easily kill defenseless Jim Garrison before unleashing public opinion to cover the facts. Why didn't they do it? Why did they tolerate a small district attorney so close to the truth about the assassination of JFK? Jim Garrison's skepticism about the Warren Commission's 300,000-word investigative report (26 volumes with photos, charts, witness statements, and other documents totaling a million words) is actually pretty obvious: 1. The only murderer, Lee Harvey Oswald, took 5.3 seconds from the sixth floor window in the south corner of the Texas Textbook Building (note, 5. 3 seconds is almost impossible to complete precision shooting with the backward firearms of World War II! ) fired three bullets. In addition to one of the three bullets that completely missed, and the other one that hit Kennedy's head fatally, the last bullet completed the impossible task - hitting Kennedy's back and seriously injuring Governor Connery, causing seven A wound! 2. Lee Harvey Oswald inexplicably shot and killed a patrol officer 45 minutes after he shot the president. 3. The testimony of many witnesses related to the case was not recorded, and some testimony was even falsified and fabricated. Wait... If this lie was told by the White House, CIA, FBI and the military together, then their ability to lie is too bad, not like their usual style. Is not it? It is true that "JFK" is after all a "myth and detective story" film, not the final conclusion of the Kennedy incident, so it can't give me a satisfactory answer. But Stone's reflections on JFK's death and his intrepid spirit still amaze me. He said, "Retaliation like blacklisting is entirely possible, what I do is risky, but I'm not afraid of those ridiculous things. I'm not afraid of the press. I think a person's worth can be used against his enemies. Measured by numbers. There's a lot to talk about, a lot of injustice, and there's always someone who needs justice. Zola, Dickens, see how they do it. I'm in favor of passion, even its bad side. I Do it my way, regardless of whether it's fashionable or not. In short, I'll follow through." Stone was 17 the year Kennedy was assassinated, he said: "I was born in 1946, just as the hydrogen bomb went off and the Cold War began. In the years since then, I felt a sense of irony. Later, when my parents divorced and President Kennedy was assassinated, my home was over, my country was over, and I went to Vietnam..." The trauma of the Vietnam War undoubtedly reminded Stone of the past. Kennedy, who wanted to stop the Vietnam War. Kennedy implemented the "New Frontier" policy in the United States, advocating "invention, innovation, imagination, and decision-making". Civil rights were expanded, the economy began to grow rapidly, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the nuclear test ban treaty, and the Cuban missile crisis was resolved... These achievements, as well as Kennedy's charismatic personality, made Stone feel that "JFK was the godfather of our generation. , a leader, a prince in a sense." All this gives the film a strong dominance throughout its documentary style. A large amount of materials and narration, the mobile shooting of the hand-held camera, with a large number of flashbacks, and the real atmosphere created by the high-speed switching of black and white and color pictures, made us slowly accept Stone's point of view, and finally Kevin Costner's court speech , let us be completely impressed! The whole film has been pushed to a climax so far, aggressive, in one go! "The search for truth remains our most important life value. If truth has been murdered by the government, if the people are no longer respected, then this place is not the country I was born in, and certainly not the one I want to live with for the rest of my life. Country," Jim Garrison tells us sobbing at the end of the film. In fact, what is the most important thing the movie gives us is not the truth of the matter, but the courage to find the truth! We should not close our eyes and let others kill our country, if we want to be our own masters, we should seek truth and justice for our country and ourselves! I believe that even on the day when the classified files are declassified, the truth of the matter is not what Stone said, "JFK" will still be a classic movie, and even then we will look back to appreciate the talented director of Pest Stone, Weaved such a real dream for us!

    My job is to make sure that children don’t grow up in a country where justice can only be read in history books, like dinosaurs or Atlantis—even if it’s only part of the facts, do you realize that you have harmed The credibility of the country? ——If the government lied to the people, is this government worthy of our protection? If you cannot trust others and tell the truth, this country becomes a dangerous country. Even if the sky falls, I will choose justice. The last half hour of the court debate made me cry. Patriots must always be prepared to defend the country without hesitating to resist the government

    As can be seen from the Wiki's introduction to Jim Garrison, this man has been a government conspiracy theorist from a very early age. I really want to read the opinions he wrote later as a judge, whether it will reflect a similar shadow...

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.
