the more people will believe it - Hitler
on November 22, 1963 at 12:30 in fine weather, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in his wife Jacqueline Kennedy and Texas Gov. John Connery were shot and killed as they drove through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, in a convertible. After a 10-month investigation into the President's assassination, the Warren Commission released an official report in September 1964 stating that Kennedy's killer was an employee of a Texas textbook warehouse building. Lee Harvey Oswald.
At the beginning of the film, director Oliver Stone explained to us the background of the assassination of President Kennedy in just a few minutes through historical editing, using alternating color and black and white pictures and hand-held mobile photography. The film "Assassination of Kennedy" (JFK) is 205 minutes long. The reasoning logic is very strong. I should have watched it at one time. I watched it for a week because of my busy life, but if you carefully appreciate the impact of the film Minus, especially Jim Garrison's statement about the search for truth at the end of the film that I will never forget. So I decided to write something to share with you while my conscience is still alive.
Next, since we want to discuss the film and the truth, it is better to first understand the film and the story behind the film. Although the film director Oliver Stone has few works, he can definitely be regarded as a figure who changed the history of American film, and his films are known as the true portrayal of American history. Oliver Stone was born in 1946, exactly when the hydrogen bomb exploded and the Cold War began. In 1963, his parents divorced and President Kennedy was assassinated. His family was over and his country was over. He joined the army and went to Vietnam... The trauma of the Vietnam War undoubtedly made Director Oliver miss Kennedy, who once wanted to stop the Vietnam War. Kennedy implemented the "New Frontier" policy in the United States, advocating "invention, innovation, imagination, and decision-making". Civil rights were expanded, the economy began to grow rapidly, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the nuclear test ban treaty, and the Cuban missile crisis was resolved... These achievements, as well as Kennedy's charismatic personality, made him feel that Kennedy was the godfather of his generation. A leader is a prince in a sense.
Although director Oliver's motives for filming this film are somewhat subjective, it prompted him to carefully edit and integrate a large number of historical raw materials, and use the most objective angle to show many doubts about the Kennedy assassination in front of the audience one by one. Jue brought into a dream that he had carefully woven. Director Oliver made this film, and this film made him. Since the film started on May 7, 1991, the outside world has been highly concerned. After the film's release, reviews of the film became increasingly polarized. Bernard Waynelupo of The New York Times said it would be a Hollywood miracle if Warner Bros. let the film go too far. Another reporter for The New York Times, Vincent Camby, wrote: "Mr. Stone's cinematic technique is familiar to us, which is a lot of short takes and endless frenetic scenes, then noise, music , and then noise and music.” Of course, not everyone was critical of the film, with Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun-Times being one of those who praised it, saying: The success of the film is not in answering the mystery of the Kennedy assassination, but in refreshing the anger that has built up in our national spirit since 1963." The Washington Post's Rita also endorsed the film, saying: " It's a good thriller, it's all about how you look at it."
In the face of doubts from the outside world, director Oliver said, "Retaliation like a blacklist is entirely possible, what I do is risky, but I'm not afraid of those ridiculous things. I'm not afraid of those newspapers and magazines. I think the value of a person It can be measured by the number of its enemies. There's a lot to say, a lot of injustice, and there's always someone who needs justice. Zora, Dickens, see how they do it. I'm in favor of passion, even including The bad side of it. I do it my way, regardless of whether it's trendy or not. In short, I'll follow through." Perhaps decades later when the classified archives are unsealed, we find that the historical truth is very different from the theory of the director Oliver, I Nor will it change my admiration for Oliver's director. For his courage, for his steadfastness to the pursuit of the truth, and for him to teach us a unique view of history. History is only the prelude, this film is a gift from director Oliver to young people.
The Dawn of Heroes The
so-called heroes are a group of people who are afraid, who understand the horror of fear, and can surpass it and conquer it. The person who eventually becomes its owner is the hero, and the key lies in the moment of fear, whether you choose to overcome it or avoid it. - Contemporary Bright Moon
In the next paragraphs, we return to the film and relive this heroic legend together. Jim Garrison was the prosecutor of the New Orleans District. He found many doubts in the three years after Kennedy was assassinated. Facing the government, the CIA, the FBI and the military, he did not hesitate to put the representative of the Orleans businessman Crayshaw. The murder group took to court. Although the lawsuit against the government ended in failure, he awakened the American people's desire for truth. The well-known Kevin Costner played Jim Garrison, and Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson were invited at the same time, but Kevin turned down the invitation at first. But after accepting the invitation, he developed a deep understanding of Jim Garrison and his opponents, which also contributed to his low-key and flamboyant performance in the play, and finally his choked court speech pushed the film to the climax. In addition, the film's supporting cast is also exceptionally strong, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman and Kevin Bacon all in place. And Jim Garrison himself starred in the film's justice.
Jim, who took the first step and was determined to fight the evil forces of the government to the end, encountered unprecedented difficulties in the following days, including the obstruction of the government authorities including the military, the betrayal of colleagues and friends, but the most important thing was the perplexity of his family. When the lady who got along with each other was about to leave him with the child, Jim, the man, really cried. A hero can be defeated but not knocked down because he has a belief in his heart that he wants his children to live in a free and just transition. When the American Dream is linked to the Kennedy assassination, one cannot help but wonder what is at the heart of the Constitution? What is the value of our life? When the president of a country is killed, in the face of many questions, the judiciary will only turn a deaf ear. So what is democracy in this country? How many more political murders will there be heart attacks, suicides, cancer and drug overdoses. How many more plane crashes and car accidents will happen on the eve of exposure?
We should not become angry youths, but we must not become those numb spectators in history. When you have enough thinking and evidence, you must have the courage to say no, even if you are facing the entire government, even if you have no hope of victory. Thinking back to when we were kids, most people thought that justice landed itself among us. Virtue is the best reward for virtue, and justice must triumph over evil. But as we grow up we find that this is not the case. It's not easy to fight for justice. Because the truth is always overshadowed by the powers, we have to take risks and fight against the powers. If asked why, I would answer because I am a patriot, a true patriot who would not hesitate to fight against the government if the government is no longer the government of the people. A government of the people will let the people know the truth, because the people are the main body of the country, we are the taxpayers and we have the right to know.
If one day the good people around us are wrongly killed by the villains, do you have the courage to stand up for justice for Yu Qian like Li Xian, or like Hamlet to admit killing your father and enemies as relatives and let the murderer take over on the throne. So live a little more conscience and think about the dying king. This article is purely based on the feeling of watching the movie, and does not involve any political position. The future belongs to young people, and I hope to inspire young people's outlook on life and values. Finally, the main point of the film is quoted at the end.
