I watched JFK and was very surprised, I had never seen it before and thought it was about John F. Kennedy's life while he was in the White House, but it wasn't. It was about his assassination and what followed, how everyone was so quick to call it an attack by a lone gunman but how the evidence could point to a conspiracy. The characters were well introduced and the accuracy of the details was very good. The facts were laid out and the lifestyle in the 1960s was shown quite accurately. The way the characters smoked and drank during the day, at home, on airplanes and in the workplace, as well as the attitudes of the white population towards African Americans and homosexuals were realistic. In my opinion it was a very revealing film because it showed the different attitudes of the population towards Kennedy. I think it was essentially accurate, but it was also dramatized to prove the conspiracy theory beyond a reasonable doubt. The information presented was very revealing and I learned a lot about the incident, who was involved and how some people believe it is impossible that it was the work of a single man who committed the crime. Many details were new to me and provided an interesting account of an evil act. I think it was relevant in that it showed a lot of information laid out in such a way that it was easy to understand how this happened and how the evidence might point away from Lee Harvey Oswald and towards a conspiracy formulated by the military establishment. In the film they showed examples of the civil rights movement, at one point “blacks” were shown lining up to register to vote. Most African Americans of that time were just learning how to vote, and few of them had registered. This... medium of paper... considered politically provocative. For example, information about Kennedy's assassination would not be released until the late 2030s. We still fight unwinnable wars and the government still has hidden reasons for them. However, they also support disinformation from the intelligence community. Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and needed to be removed from power, ten years later they still have not found the weapons of mass destruction and we are still fighting a losing war. The world has changed in the sense that we have access to more information, but many things have changed. the same or only slightly changed. Intelligence agencies have more and more of them. Fewer people may be in hiding because of the Internet, but since 9/11 and the Patriot Act they have more power, meaning they can use the act to spy on people they deem unacceptable, much like the communist witch hunts presided over by McCarthy..
