What is a movie? What kind of movies would you make if you made movies? I think this is a question that every filmmaker, or inspirational person who wants to become a filmmaker, should think about. Angelopoulos is a master, he created a unique long-lens aesthetics, Kielovsky is a master, he is exploring the value of human existence, Wong Kar-wai is a master, he opened up his own unique aesthetic category, Spielber Grid is also a master, he is committed to the combination of art and business. I think that everyone who has devoted their youth and life to movies and pursued their movie dreams with all their enthusiasm is a master. Oliver Stone, he is also a great artist, because he uses film as a weapon to fight and save this increasingly degenerate society, which reminds me of another great man in China - Mr. Lu Xun.

Quite a wonderful interpretation of the mountains behind Kennedy's death. At the beginning, the events are placed in the coordinate system of the world history of the twentieth century by using the editing of different material images, and the in-depth excavation and the extension of the final subtitles are also in place. One of the most important courtroom speeches in film history.

Director's cut version/The best American theme I've seen so far. The treatment of JFK as a spiritual symbol may not necessarily conform to the historical reality, but almost perfectly completes the artistic reality. It is not only power that hides the truth, but also human cowardice. What is even more desperate is that the pervasive elite consciousness throughout the film may no longer be able to save the world. It is not easy to be able to tell such a complicated story clearly, and more than 200 minutes is not boring and amazing.

title card: "To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of men." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
President Eisenhower: ...We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. And to do this three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishement. We annually spend on military security alone...
Narrator: January, 1961. President Dwight D. Eisenhowers's Farewell Address to the Nation.
President Eisenhower: ...This conjunction of an immense military establishment and arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence - economic, political, even spiritual - is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office in the federal government. We must guard against the aquisition of unwarranted influence - whether sought or unsought - by the military-industrial complex. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.
M. L. King, Jr.: ...that "All men are created equal."
JFK: Every degree of mind and spirit that I possess will be devoted to the cause of freedom around the world.
