Does it show John F. Kennedy's death?


The MPAA rating says there is brief violence in the movie. Is that because they show John F. Kennedy's association?

Well we saw the motorcade in the trailer so maybe?

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

reply

Probably, I would think so considering the movie deals with the motorcade asassination and then of Jackie's POV story there after following in the next day's after.

Spoilers: Yes, it does. Bullet entering skull, shot of guts.

Gotta love all the guts packed into a skull.

Yes it does. A couple of times through the movie, the first time it shows the aftermath just a few seconds after it happened, the second time it actually shows the actual momen, including a quick shot of gory details

What about the ride to and the chaos at Parkland, or just the aftermath on Air Force One?

reply

It shows the ride and scene or two at Parkland but no chaos. The film really focuses on that period of grief where the shock of what happened wears off and you just feel numb. Lot of scenes on Air Force One.
