This film is the latest depiction about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 while in Dallas, Texas. From the moments leading up to his being shot to the post events of him being rushed to Parkland Hospital and the staff's attempt to save his life. It takes you into the lives of the many various people and the impact it had on their lives, there was the salesman who inadvertently filmed the shooting, the First Lady and the presidential staff, the doctors and nurses and then there is the family of the shooter Lee Harvey Oswald who would get shot and then rushed to the same hospital as his victim. Everyone was affected by this tragic event both directly and indirectly.
Reel Talk:
This was a good movie, very educational and insightful. I was not born when JFK was assassinated so my knowledge about it was naive. This gives light to some key people surrounding what happened on that fateful day. In talking with some of my movie reviewing colleagues they pointed out a few omissions that could have been entered into the movie but it was still a good solid movie, with a good solid cast. I recommend this movie, especially to those who appreciate revisiting or those willing to get the historical re-enactment to the events of that era. This is one that you can cash out.
