I definitely will not be watching this. It has been 50 years, but it is still too painful to relive this. Other events have not affected me like this did. I really wish people would leave JFK alone. I was 13 and remember exactly where I was when I was told that he had been shot. I was not at home and when I got home a couple hours later neither my mother nor my grandmother had heard the news. I had to tell them.
shareI certainly respect your feelings. I was eleven at the time, and I too was heartbroken and continue to be heartbroken.
However, it's important to keep this issue ALIVE because the people who murdered the President were never held accountable.
Most of the first-generation researchers have died (Harold Weisberg, Penn Jones, and others), and we owe a great debt of gratitude to these people.
Additionally, there were many brave witnesses who died under mysterious circumstances (Roger Craig, Lee Bowers, and many more), who tried to tell the truth about what they had seen that awful day.
The guilty parties would have LOVED for us to forget about Kennedy.
But don't worry about the movie; it's Warren Commission propaganda and you're not missing much.
I think part of the reason JFK can't be left alone is part of the intrigue the Kennedy family had on America. They were are a rich, American family that tragedy just seemed to follow. A sister killed in a plane crash. His brother,Joe, who probably would have a candidate for public office killed while in service. Another sister was mentally handicapped. His father suffered a stroke, I don't remember if it was before Kennedy was elected president. So many tragedies struck this family.
Then when Kennedy was elected, the American public was just drawn to this young president and his family. Despite the tragedies that marred their family, who didn't want to be the Kennedys. A young attractive couple who had beautiful young children. But then they lost a child while he was in office. How many young families who lost a child couldn't relate to them? And then the assassination that shattered the country. If you think about this was the first presidential assassination of the television era. Most of us have probably at least seen the clip of Walter Cronkite telling of the death of the president. The American public were glued to the tvs for days. Even after 50 years, the picture of John Kennedy Jr saluting his father's casket brings tears to my eye. And I think that is part of the reason we can't leave Kennedy alone. He was the President of the United States and that can't be ignored. But the tragedy just drew us in and we couldn't let go. Just like the story of the Titanic, which happened in 1912, it is just one of those news stories that we can't let go.
Maybe we could let go if we knew for sure 100% who killed President Kennedy.
shareWe know who killed Lincoln and yet, the book, "Team of Rivals" was a New York Times best seller; the movie that was based on that book, "Lincoln," released in 2012 was a very popular film (Daniel Day Lewis won the Oscar for best actor). While the conspiracy surrounding Kennedy's assassination may remain an unsolved mystery, I don't believe it's the primary reason his murder continues to haunt us. Many people (including myself) remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when the news was broadcast and it likely will remain with us forever. History books will record November 22, 1963 and how it subsequently affected the US, but those who lived through those dark days will remember always what it was like to experience a young, vibrant President full of promise, pass into history, virtually in front of our eyes.
Some movies are released; others sneak out.
I agree with your thoughtful post. It is important to inform each generation of how and why (speculations) our President was assassinated. I am still wondering what is being taught in school (today)?
shareWhat you fail to appreciate is that the government AND the media lied and are still lying. Because you fail to appreciate that, you don't grasp the implications of the media and Hollywood still lying!
What it means is that the interests that took over the country in a coup d'état in 1963, are still in control and this is why the same lies are still being told.
What you're too simple-minded to understand is that these same interests are working and have been working on world domination for over 100 years and IT WILL HAPPEN but that doesn't mean we should all play stupid and imitate you and not stand up and expose these "legal interests" who are committing countless ILLEGALacts, but, partially thanks to their money and part to their use of pedophilia to blackmail government leaders, THE PEOPLE WHO CARE, unlike you, are trying to communicate the truth to the blind fools who foolishly think, "Well, I just don't believe that is possible," but are too blinded by the lies of these criminals in control and also too irresponsible to bother to investigate the facts.
You might notice that you have the Internet and the truth is here. The ignorant are ignorant by busyness. They'd rather "play" on the weekend than save their country.
The making of Parkland and its not being exposed as a SHAM by Hollywood shows that the bulk of Hollywood is just as brainwashed by these criminals as the bulk of America. Obama is an illegitimate president and these interests put him in office because they CONTROL the media.
Jews and freemasons killed JFK, just cause he refused to plead to the bankers.
Just like Mossad and the CIA did 9/11.
It's no conspiracy, the evidence is out there.
