Just under thirty years ago, three-time Oscar Winner Oliver Stone directed one of the most controversial major studio films of all time and it was about one of the most consequential events of the latter half of the 20th Century….the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963.
But it wasn’t just about the assassination of a sitting President, it was even more so about the CONSPIRACY behind that assassination and the investigation to uncover the truth about this conspiracy….or at least how Oliver Stone saw things.
And what resulted was a dizzying 3+ hour epic conspiracy thriller/courtroom drama featuring a high-powered cast including Kevin Costner, Joe Pesci, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, Gary Oldman, and too many other notable actors to mention.
Much of what was portrayed in this film was based on fact but much was also based on speculation – how much does this film blur the lines between those two? It’s time to revisit one of the most influential films of the ’90s and how it still holds up even as just a movie…..
