JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass

My diet of Pay Tv movies ended after 4 long empty months because as soon as I have noticed this Stone's return to JFK case on my channels, i knew that a good evening was ahead me. Last time I heard about it, it was for Deauville festival and i asked then: " so now, who killed JFK?"

The documentary fails to give an exact answer if you want names, occupations and strategy. However, as in his movie, Stone's opinion points towards the military complex and rogue CIA with help from FBI.

But unlike the movie which was a fast paced fiction, here Stone slows down the tempo and let the footages run a long time. Several thematic are analysed: the bullets, the gun, the autopsy, New Orléans, the bay of pigs, the international politics, the Vietnam,...

At the end, it's an excellent, useful embellishment to the movie as both are about the same thing but deliver in different ways.

What i keep is the feeling that JFK and 9/11 resonate with the same vibes: a national tragedy, a official report and a lot, much questions...

And ice of the cake, this documentary achieves to learn me a new fact.. What happened in Chicago in August 1963 is indeed very chilly....
