What is politics?

Politics is the means by which the elites absorb economic interests, and a coup is a game played by various forces to ensure their own interests. Justice can only be achieved by standing in the ranks of those in power. The truth you know is just that those in power want you to know the truth.

This is the biggest insight after watching "Assassination of Kennedy". Kennedy advocated the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam, which harmed the interests of the majority of the forces. For this reason, several of the largest power agencies in the United States jointly planned the assassination of Kennedy. In order for the next president to become their puppet, they advocated the Vietnam War and shot to kill the soon-to-be-elected. The brother of Kennedy who had withdrawn.

Garrison has a large amount of evidence and is gradually approaching the truth. However, the intelligence agencies have already monitored him, and key witnesses are threatened with death and are reluctant to testify in court. With the murder of witnesses, the mutiny of team members, the loss of evidence, and the threats to family members and himself, the film reaches a climax, and at the same time shows Garrison's unyielding fighting spirit and belief in fighting for justice. Even if he produced evidence of Kennedy's murder in court, the members of the jury were all beneficiaries of interests, and in order to safeguard their own interests, Crenshaw was acquitted. The ending tells us that justice is no match for politics, and that we will face a road full of thorns if we want to uphold justice.

End credits: I would like to dedicate this film to people with ideals. This is not a kind of helplessness, after all, the purpose of this film is to tell us to stick to our ideals.

    There are shortcomings, but there is also a long and exciting shot, which comes from both an interest in the mystery and an encouragement to uphold the law. The story is well told, and Costner's speech is brilliant, but there are too many references.

JFK quotes

  • Bill Brousard: None of their testimony is gonna hold up in court, Chief. Hell all three of them have reputations as low as crocodile piss.

    Jim Garrison: That bother you, Bill? I always wonder why it is in court if a woman's a prostitute she has to have bad eyesight. Now go around the Quarter start snoopin around see if we can find out who this guy Bertrand is.

    Bill Brousard: The six of us with no money and in private are gonna solve a conspiracy that the Warren Commission couldn't solve?

    Jim Garrison: I didn't pick you because of your legal skills you know?

    Bill Brousard: Gee thanks, boss.

    Jim Garrison: Because you're a fighter. I like a man who isn't afraid of bad odds.

  • Jim Garrison: Could the Mob change the parade route, Bill, or eliminate the protection for the President? Could the Mob send Oswald to Russia and get him back? Could the Mob get the FBI the CIA, and the Dallas Police to make a mess of the investigation? Could the Mob appoint the Warren Commission to cover it up? could the Mob wreck the autopsy? Could the Mob influence the national media to go to sleep? And since when has the Mob used anything but .38's for hits, up close. The Mob wouldn't have the guts or the power for something of this magnitude. Assassins need payrolls, orders, times, schedules. This was a military-style ambush from start to finish... a coup d'etat with Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings.
