JFK

JFK is a movie base to stir up curiosity for the young people who seek the truth, the truth about The President, John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Who killed JFK? How many assassins killed JKF? Who was behind the assassination? Why was JFK killed? In the movie, it was shown how Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner), a district attorney of New Orleans was interested in helping the government's investigation on the conspiracy of JFK, stayed confused for three years after the death of JFK and how he later began to be obsess with his investigation on finding out the truth and also the facts and arguments that he provide for the murder of the president. The facts that he gave can be questioned whether it is true or not because the movie is actually not about the truth on the assassination of JFK but it is to prove to the viewer that there were actually a conspiracy behind the killing of JFK and that the government did cover it up.

This drama history mystery suspenseful movie, directed by Oliver Stone was a bit too long for my eyes to be kept wide open. Having to see a three and a half hour movie does to a certain extend makes my mind wonder off a bit. I find the movie a bit dreggy too. But overall, I guess I still have to submit by saying that this movie is worth watching. Stone not only did smartly choose the right actor for each character, the cinematography and the editing of the movie was done well. The movie starred Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Bacon, Gary Oldman and others were good at acting their characters out especially Kevin Costner. He acted as though he was really Garrison trying his best to find the missing pieces of the assassination. He indeed is a good actor.

The whole movie clearly shows the curiosity and impact the assassination had on the nation. Everyone wanted to know what really happened. It had been a few decades since JFK died and still no one clearly knows who killed him and for what reason. Yes, there may be many explanations as to why he was killed but until today, people are still finding out the truth. Curiosity kills the cat; I do hope no one gets killed trying to find out the truth behind JFK’s assassination after their curiosity was provoked by the movie.
