Memorable, crazy movie

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

If you are a believer in a conspiracy to murder John F. Kennedy and you have a scientific mind, you will no longer believe the conspiracy theories after viewing this special. The special supports all of its conclusions with compelling facts and evidence, directly disproving many of the fundamental assumptions of the conspiracists.You will see many opinions by people who refuse to let go. But you will also notice that not a single one of them supports their objections to this documentary with any fact-based arguments. When they do try to argue fact, they are usually mistaken (example: reviewer Gregg Wager's assertion that this documentary does not mention the bullet that hit Gov. Connolly's wrist: untrue). Don't let them dissuade you from watching an excellently (and moreover, responsibly) crafted special.

Unlike most documentaries that I've seen on the assassination, this one presents most, if not all of the differing views and lays them out for the viewer to see. The viewer is invited to follow along with the serious researchers and see for himself what they've spent years trying to painstakingly uncover: a search for the truth, whatever it may be. It presents the theory that Oswald murdered the President and acted alone in a much more convincing manner than previous works I've read or watched on television. The flaws of all the conspiracy theories are examined as well as the works of the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s. It is time well spent for the serious intellectual who seeks to better understand the assassination from every angle. As someone who believed for more than twenty years that there was a conspiracy to murder President Kennedy, I now question it. I never thought anything would ever change my mind about that. This is a must-see documentary that will open your eyes to the truth if you are willing to listen.

I like the scientific evidence and computer generated timelines that were created from the Zapruder film for this news special. They served to provide a different take on the shots fired and more concrete support that it was just Oswald acting and not a conspiracy.The whole focus of this show was to make as much evidence known as possible to make it impossible that there WAS a conspiracy. However, all of the evidence itself surrounded their argument that the only bullets that struck and killed Kennedy himself were fired by Oswald. That alone does not prove that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, it only proves that he fired the only bullets that HIT Kennedy.It is a fallacy in itself to assume that Oswald acted alone just because he was lucky enough to hit all 3 shots. He could have been paid off by any number of socialist/Communist organizations that he worked for, or by Castro himself. Heck, there could have been another shooter out there that day, that either fired shots and was not noticed or detected because of the actions of Oswald, or never fired shots because he realized that Oswald succeeded, and the the support help was not necessary.There are just so many theories that were not discussed in this program. Granted, there is no way you can touch on everything in a 90 min program. Heck, you couldn't do it in a 10 hour miniseries. However, spending 1/3 of the show debunking the film JFK was not time well spent in my opinion.

I couldn't stop to seen this documentary till its end. I was stuck in my chair. Like once i couldn't stop to seen Oliver Stone's JFK (1991). Instead, there were moments that i have arrived to think that the original title of this one was Peter Jennings reporting: The Kennedy Assassination - Beyond Conspiracy of Oliver Stone. The last 30 minutes are entirely dedicated to dismount the Stone's movie theory. That's not bad, sure, but at least Mark Obenhaus does the same that tries to criticize. I miss more testimonies of people that believe in conspiracy theories I think it would done better this movie. In a state of democracy i think it's good to have both versions (Obenhaus-Stone) for make each one his own version. But we must remember that Obenhaus has done a documentary and Stone a fiction...with all the reserves that it means...for both of them.
