The first thing to say is that this movie has a strong political color, that is, it is completely political. The film brings the stories behind the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s on the screen. It is difficult for us to see the real and the fiction. However, in terms of the arrangement and contrast of the entire film, it has achieved its due effect, showing the United States. His great power and heroism also outlines a President Kennedy who is calmly thinking and responding calmly. In particular, the performance of the actors in it is also outstanding. Presidents, special assistants, ministers, diplomats, generals, pilots, operators, relatives...It can be said that the film shows the positive and persistent good image of the entire United States at the edge of the crisis in the Cold War. To a large extent, it beautifies the actions of the United States during the Cold War and makes Americans believe in the government more firmly. In the movie, many divergent opinions on the Cold War situation within the US government were added, which further highlighted the potential threat of the whole situation to world peace and the foresight of a few people headed by the president, which achieved good results. But think about it carefully, this kind of movie must have added a lot of personal feelings of the director or screenwriter. The more perfect things are, the more suspicious... the
movie mainly describes Kennedy's leadership and decision-making ability. A president with a handsome appearance and a heart of worrying about the country could not escape the doom of being shot. I think the director also wants to use such a movie to let people remember that there was such a president in the history of the United States. He once led the United States. The world was rescued from the brink of war.
Nicolas Cage's new film "National Treasure 2-Mystery Book" at the end of 2007 is the story behind Kennedy's assassination. Of course, it should be largely fictional, but with such a president in "Thirteen Days", it will always be interesting. Want to know more...

    In fact, you should watch this first, and then watch "Assassination of Kennedy". If the portrayal in the film is true, and if every president can take world peace as his responsibility, the global village will really be a beautiful world~~~? At least armed wars will be reduced by 90%... It's a pity that this is not in the pockets of some interest groups! So he was assassinated - and then his brother?! What a beacon of freedom, democracy and equality! The film was released in 2000, and there have been other films with the same theme before. Well, maybe this theme can be released, and it can be regarded as a kind of democracy? History is a girl who dresses up, and the writers have their own goals! The film is great, even though it’s all kinds of meetings, it’s better than the sharp lines, straight to the heart, the characters are numerous and not cluttered, the military generals are aggressive, and they don’t pay attention to the president at all... It also indicates that Kennedy will be in the near future. tragedy! 4 stars, recommended...

    Very long political chapter, but it's still relatively warm in the end
