Anecdotes
The family of Abraham Zapruder, the garment-industry executive who shot the 26 seconds of 8mm film that recorded the instant of the shooting, had never publicly shared their story before. "This is the first time the family has cooperated with anyone," says Landesman. "I think they agreed to help because this script treats him with objectivity, clarity and fairness, perhaps for the first time. They realize this might be their last chance to tell their story themselves."

Gaffes
A title card at the end of the movie says that Agent Forrest Sorrels died in 1993, at age 82. He was actually 92. During his testimony before the Warren Commission in 1964, he said he was 63, making his birth year 1901. He began his 47-year government career in 1922, when he was 21.

I was 12 when President Kennedy was assassinated. Even though I am Canadian, it was a huge deal for us. I remember seeing him and his wife Jacquie coming out of the Church of the Ascension in Westmount Montreal sometime in 1962 or thereabouts. No crowds, no security, you could feel something exciting about him. North America changed profoundly after that. This movie does not put forward any theories about what took place at Dealey Plaza, but it does show with great accuracy how normal people are affected by extraordinary events. No matter how well we are prepared for things, when disaster strikes it takes everyone off guard and chaos ensues. Look at current events and we see the same thing. The mixture of archival footage was done exactly right, so you felt that you were really there. Despite the horrible circumstances, by the simple acts of ordinary people, one could see that not everyone had lost their humanity. The acting was superb, Marcia Harden, Billy Bob Thornton, Paul Giamatti and Zac Efron in particular.
