JFK (1991)
Won the Academy Award for cinematography and editing. Nominated for score, sound, screenplay based from previous material, director, supporting actor, and picture. Some fact, some speculation. That's about all the information there really is about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and that's what the film has to offer. The point that is really worth mentioning about this project is that it doesn't waste its energy trying to tell you what "really" happened onNov. 22, 1963. No one "really" knows (no one involved in this film anyway). But what it does do, and does with incredible skill, is show that the way the assassination has been explained (single gunman acting alone) is absolutely impossible. To avoid throwing large piles of opinion in the story would be very difficult, but Stone somehow pulls it off. Very nice film and very well done. (Written and directed by Oliver Stone)
