Everybody has different opinions about this film. But the cast, the music, the editing and the plot makes this film one of the best mystery films ever made.

Great commentary. I put this on when I can't sleep at night 😊

When the President is a General of the Army warning the public about the military industrial complex we should pay attention.

I had a history teacher when I was a freshman. He did some digging into the deaths of witnesses of the Kennedy assassination. The odds of all of those people dying was 1 : 1, with 63 zeros behind it. Those are pretty long odds.

An absolute masterpiece of a movie and superb commentary.

Wow, he has a very soothing voice that's easy to listen to. I still need to see this film. I heard many great things about it!

Oliver stone will no doubt be remembered as one of the very best in his trade EVER. You really cant get much better than Stone.

Excellent commentary. Thanks. These are the 2 most difficult cases (JFK/JDT) to investigate n understand. Dealey Plaza was the crime of the century. i’m a local researcher who has spent years compiling a detailed manuscript containing a plethora of new material n I can’t get published. I doubt Mr. Stone could comprehend my frustration.

Thanks for the commentary on this and The Doors !

Fabulous broadcast

Ty for the upload!! I would watch the movie but also this growing up to sleep to!!

This was so gripping the music, actors, and the investigation ,and everyone knew the outcome of the Garrison trial, but you were glued to the movie, it was one of the best mystery movies ever made. I don't know If it was a conspiracy but as long as the govt are hiding and keeping files secret ,e.g when Trump released the files in 2017 the CIA tell him we need more time and when they were released the majority of them were redacted. And the longer they are keeping things secret you have no choice to believe it might well have been a conspiracy

The most bond esque scene in Timothy Dalton’s outing

I was only 6 when JFK was assassinated but remember my Mom's tears watching the procession. My Mom, a Native Texan, so proud of her heritage...the only time I ever heard her speak unkindly of Texas, but the more we find out, the less it seems Dallas was a part of the conspiracy. It seems clear Oswald was escorted to his own assassination, so there were forces at work beyond the control of the state. I was living in Dallas when they were making this movie, and was down in the West End Marketplace when we saw Costner duck into a Sunglass Hut. When the movie premiered it was panned by critics as pure fiction, but the movie was great, it's still great, and no doubt furthered the discussion about the murder of our President. The Warren Commission was a disgrace, and it appears we may never get the truth.

love to hear a debate between Oliver Stone and Noam Chomsky on intentions of Kennedy administation

Excellent

Vincent D’Onofrio is an extra in this movie. That’s how stacked it is.

GREAT VIDEOS! Any chance you can do Born on The Fourth of July?…

At 1:54, I could never figure out whether JFK snubbed Dulles's offer of a handshake, or the latter was gesturing to him to somebody out of shot. But I suspect it's the former.

What a terrific movie!!!! ☮️💟

Feel Stone got more right than people think, but definitely overboard with the amount of wrong too lol! More than Oswald imo

Great piece of film by Stone. I don’t think it would have been any less great if he had kept it historically accurate

We have never seen the original Zapruder film.

Why is this just over 2 hours when the film is over 3 hours? Did you cut out the silent moments?

As more and more documents are slowly released, the movie JFK becomes so much closer to reality. Unfortunately, the U. S. secret agencies will continue to attack Oliver Stone and this film as it come way too close to home for them; it make them uncomfortable over sixty years later.

Most of the DRS at Parkland said it was a tangential / right side impact shot, wound hitting jfk in the right temple and exited out the right rear occipital area, plus the x rays and autopsy photos were edited and altered, meaning that the current lateral x rays shows a snow trial of bullet / projectile fragments hi up in the skull table, which is to say that a shot hit jfk hi up above the right eye socket and also exited out the rear hi up occipital area and blowing out the large bone fragment as well, most of jfk's skull was almost destroyed it was a overkill, no 6.5mm object as shown in the current x rays the AP x ray was seen on the night of the autopsy sworn testimony by humes and boswell both said they did not see the current 6.5mm object seen in the AP x ray of jfk's skull, plus theres no name on the x rays just a number, so it could be anyone's skull x ray and why is it that people still do not understand that there's a line or t type mark made on one of the x rays, which is near the neck area and its has no x ray imulsion missing from where the t shape mark was made on the x ray film it self. So they are all copy's of a x ray, which we still do not know if the current x rays which they say are jfk's can be authenticated by forensic pathologist's, ( NOPE to this day not one jfk researchers has authenticated the x rays to say 100% that they are off jfk's head) Also Dr Cyril Wecht was the first NON government Forensic pathologist to tell the media that jfk's brains and also other medical evidence is missing from NARA i think it was around April 1965, at the same time when RFK gave the medical evidence to Evelyn Lincoln jfk's secretary and then to NARA ?✌✌🦘🦘👍👍

Why is the video all still frames from the movie?

Stock photo's in the beginning show secret service next to the car. So not in Dallas, they had no secret service next to the car as opposed to every other instance of earlier motorcades with JFK

This was when the hero was undermined and overtaken by the anti-hero: Iago became bigger than Othello. Reality became multi-fixated, Rashomon-like: the Old Man had caught the fish and struggled to bring it back to shore, but it had been eaten by sharks.

Thank you.

Stone mischaracterizes Kennedy’s 1963 speech at American University. (It was a fantastic speech by the way). Kennedy is not prescribing “Globalism” in today’s context, it’s precisely the opposite. Kennedy denounces a “Pax Americana”, and states that we must try to understand the point of view of our adversaries, and take into account their nation interests in our quest live together in peace.

G,O,A.T movie.

My favorite bit is when he says you can't do the shooting in 5.7 seconds and then Costner does exactly that.

I wonder how many stairwells there were in the Texas school Book Depository?

With time comes amnesia.

Should have called the movie FANTASY LAND!

i believe there is a kind of "making of" of this film

First Christian Humanist in high power.

A great GREAT film; and this is a worthy adjunct. Thanks to Oliver Stone, Jim DiEugenio, Mark Groubert and others, the true nature of American government is being laid bare. Appallingly, it may get a LOT WORSE before it finally (if ever) gets better. All praise to Oliver Stone, a true and brave patriot, a truly great film-maker, and a fine human being.

✌✌✌✌✌👍👍👍👍👍

youtube, ( JFK to 9/11 everything is a rich man's trick ) 3hr 27min version , you're in for an awakening

facts

In those days in 1991 Kevin Costner was a big movie star and Walter Matthau didn’t recognise him ?!! Lol 😅 . Sounds like Stone did this commentary in 2000. It would be interesting to hear him doing it post 9/11

"Planetarism" is that one beyond globalism?

anybody who could make this film, has privileges in the world....

Very "accurate "documentary...👍 RIP JFK 🔥

Our country is lost

Bill Hicks has a great bit on the "Assassination Museum" in the Book Depository building. There's an exhibit call The Sniper's Nest, and Hicks says "It's real accurate because Oswald isn't in it." It's all glassed in so you can't get close to the window. He goes on to say "YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ROAD. SH!T, THEY'RE LYING TO US!" After I saw JFK the 1st time, I made a pact with myself to re-watch it every year. It gets better and better. I always tell people who haven't seen the movie that if ONLY 10% of the information presented is true, then we are truly f&*ked. To believe that Oswald was the only shooter is to be in complete denial of any other plausible scenario. Oliver Stone researches the hell out of his source material before writing a script, and to discount him as a fanatic or "conspiracy theorist" is outrageous. The Warren Commission report was supposed to be buried for 75 years, Chumpy-Boy was in office when the remaining records were supposed to be de-classified and made public, and the FBI and CIA told him postpone release until April 2018. In April 2018, they told him to postpone release again until 2021. The whole thing stinks to high heaven, and 60 years later, the general public is still not buying the white-wash that the Warren Commission was. Gerald Ford was the last living member of the Warren Commission until he died in 2006, so we'll never get anything further from him. Back and to the left, people. The huge hole in the back of JFK's head was an EXIT WOUND.

Regarding the actual shooting @56:02. Oswald did not take the frontal shot because JFK was not Oswald's target. Oswald was hired to shoot Gov. Connelly. He was to wait for the car to take the turn and shoot over the President's shoulder, into the Governor's back. The shooter in the police uniform at the grassy knoll fence was the man who had hired Oswald for this task, Officer J.D. Tippit. Oswald, upon realizing he'd been set up, went home to fetch his pistol. Ofc. Tippit intercepts Oswald a block from his safehouse. Oswald shoots Tippit 3 times in the chest. If Oswald had only sought to escape, he surely would have run after those 3 shots. Instead, he walked around the car, confronted Tippit and executed him with a final shot to the head. It was personal. Oswald may never have known that in fact the person who had hired Officer J.D. Tippit was local small time mobster Jack Ruby. Tippit worked security at Ruby's club which is how their paths crossed. Oswald may not have been a completely innocent actor on Nov. 22 1963, but he was exactly what he said he was: the patsy.

Its the best jfk movie ever made full stop, just think of how good the jfk movie would be if Oliver stone had he ARRB records to view, which to date is the best jfk resources in regards to the real evidence collected by the gov orgs and private citizens, especially the alteration of the so called z film, its plain and simple people the movements of all the occupants in the jfk move way to fast, less than 1/18 of a second in multiple frames, which is impossible, also Oliver stone had to pay to use the Zapurder film to show it in the courtroom, plus the best jfk researchers in the world in 2024 are as follows. 1. Dr David Manik. 2. Dr Mike Chesser. 3. Dr Gary Aguilar. But lets not forget those who came before, like David Lifton RIP, Jim Marrs, Beverly Brunson Larry Rivera, Jim Fetzer, Dr. John Costella ( who is a good friend of mine.) Vince Palamara ( for secret service interviews of those agents who were there on that day) So many current jfk investigators, like Brian Edwards ex SWAT sniper, Craig roberts also ex SWAT Sniper, all who say that there's no way that they could shoot the so called 6.5mm Italian manla carcano rifle. Also as far as James Files is concerned he is full of it total and utter bs, the MOB would never ever have the resources or the manpower to achieve anything of this magnitude of murdering the most powerful man in the world at that time. 👌👌✌✌🦘🦘👍👍

great movie....

My favorite movie

1:59:41 The right shoulder shot happened at Z206 and was witnessed by Secret Service agent Glen Bennett as it hit. It only went in 1.25 inches, as it was based on underpowered ammunition made up to special order by Chauncey Holt at the CIA gun specialty shop in Goleta, California. It fell out spontaneously at Bethesda on the x-ray exam table of Jerrol Custer. This bullet never went anywhere near JFK's neck or throat, and never went anywhere near Connally.

53:01 In 1962 Cliff Carter procured Secret Service sample credentials. Chauncey Holt used them to make counterfeits and brought them to Dealey Plaza for Nov. 22, 1963. Holt did his counterfeiting at a CIA print shop in Los Angeles. See his videos.

13:09 The 15 year old Oswald in the Civil Air Patrol with Ferrie was the huskier American original Oswald. Not the more delicate Hungarian doppelganger ultimately shot by Ruby.

51:29 JFK was hit 6 times from at least 5 different sniping positions. Some from the front and some from the rear. There were over 30 shots fired at JFK and Connally, mostly with rifles using silencers.

Psst!

how accurate is this

Was this guy stoned when he did this???

25:49 Oswald was working at 544 Camp/Lafayette because he was spying on Banister and Ferrie and Clay Shaw for RFK and the Justice Department and FBI. JFK had agreed to shut down the exile training camps to suit Khrushchev for settling the Cuban Missile Crisis. Banister etc. noticed any time Oswald visited an exile training camp, a raid by the FBI or U.S. Marshals would be coming predictably soon. So he was chosen for the starring Special High Intensity Training role in the upcoming JFK hit melodrama. His prior role in shutting down exile camps is why after Nov. 22, Lee Harvey Oswald was a name already familiar to RFK.

I love this movie, have watched it oh...... maybe 7 times. Its not a theory.

I'm pretty sure Stone wasn't a deep diver into this segment of history. Because he ignored the oddities of the Zapruder film.

23:56 This was not a freak accident. Bowers was fed doped coffee at a rest stop diner, then shoved off the road [like Karen Silkwood in later years] by a black car near Midlothian.

Orwell must have had premonitions of Oliver Stone when he penned the phrase, "All art is propaganda".

Not a thing wrong with the Mannlicher Carcano rifle. Perfectly good rifle and cartridge.

Though I now would state that the most likely scenario was Oswald acting alone, mostly due to much more modern computer analysis of the Zapruder film and 3D intense computer models of the Dealy Plaza geography, this film was what inspired me to dig deeper and learn more even though today I would have the complete opposite conclusion. I loved this film when it was released and though I found out that most of it is crap, you cannot deny that this is masterfully crafted. Oliver Stone is an incredible filmmaker and despite its problems I still enjoy watching JFK.

Let me help you out, Oliver: "This part is false, and this part is false, and this part is false..."

People did you know that Jim Garrison remarried his wife, so she would get his full pension when he passed away. 😢😢🙏🙏🦘🦘👍👍

Great film that got a lot of JFK assassination papers released in the early 90's and on. But for any researcher lacks obvious questionable people and their roles related to the murder. Oswald and Rudy but just as significant is the roles of Jean/George DeMohrenschildt, Zapruder, Jim Braden, and then Ruth/Michael Paine, Frazier, Secret service and Time Life magazine and forgetting the scientist Ernst Titovets and how that relates to both Lee H. and Marina Oswald. Not to mention all the murders related to the Church Committee like Sam Giancana. Not explained is the easy explanation of the ice rinks Ferrie and friends visited. This puts it all in prospective..... Something this film avoided at every turn. Great movie I enjoy Oliver Stones movies but the Garrison story isn't explained as significantly as the true story is. Something lacking in the Bush movie Oliver also did. Just can't get the full truths out of Hollywood!!!

I know some folks on this comment post don't believe everything that Oliver Stone put out was true and they're right but let's not forget that he's an incredible storyteller of movies not the real things. The real things are meant for documentaries

Even though almost every word of the film (and Stone's commentary) is somewhere between wrong and batshit crazy, the movie itself is an incredible piece of film making. I just think of it as a fever dream of Jim Garrison. Thanks for uploading!

Watching a number of JFK related films and docs, the one that made an impression on me indirectly, but probably very intentional by the film's director/producer, was The Irishman. Specifically the mob's overall hatred for JFK and his bro for going after them. My POV is competing, like-minded ideas came together in group-think that bolstered the solution. The threat posed to the CIA and the Vietnam War, whites worried about losing control when black people were "given" more civil rights, voting rights, mixing with white neighborhoods which would lead to interracial sex and then mixed race offspring. Bear in mind there was still A LOT of raw hatred after the US forced desegregation not that many years before, in particular from the Southern US states that later flocked to the promise of an ideological safe haven presented by Nixon with the Southern Strategy, which is alive and well in 2024.

Oli Stone, eloquent explainer..man was and still is a giant for the truth. Very clever bloke and a thorough guy ❤

1:03:30 The photo was made by Roscoe White at Jaggers-Chiles-Stovall by putting an Oswald head on a Roscoe White body. The papers are for the Socialist Worker's Party (Militant) and US Communist Party (Daily Worker). But those were two antagonistic groups. Oswald pretending to be a fan of both was like pretending to be a Sunni and a Shiite at the same time. Just for sheepdipping show. White and Oswald had been together at the School of Illusionary Warfare near Nags Head NC in 1956, learning how to pretend to be commies and do false flag exercises like Dealey Plaza became. White lived across the street from J.D. Tippit, to help babysit him up to Nov. 22. White was installed in the Dallas Police in Sept. 1963

Why did you completely omit the word “Israel” from the film Oliver? **checks executive producer credits **checks early life Oh. That’s why.

It was a Mafia/CIA Operation. 🇮🇹💪

Kostner was a bad choice starring Jim Garrison, should've been somebody who's more like JG in real life.

Why are there so many people commenting on this stupid 3-hour movie any other way we can try to make Kevin Costner not look like a rerun of all his other characters

pics of burning crosses by the kay kay kay democrats.

More fake events woohooo

Never minded Stone’s vision, and it’s a good to great movie in almost every sense… Except narrative.. There’s just no evidence of any others being involved, and Oswald murdered a cop in cold blood.. I wish people could accept that and then we can move away from conspiracy earth..

Good lord this guy is such an ideological zealot

Kevin Costner sucks.

Partial list of Stone's blatant lies in this movie: A) Mayor Cabell changes parade route to assist assassins. Parade route was never changed, that was the standard parade route through Dallas and you can't drift between lanes in Dealey Plaza. B) Conspirator has fake seizure in plaza, disappears. Jerry Belknap went to Parkland Hospital after suffering real seizure. C) Assassins disguised as tramps are fake-arrested, disappear. The 3 tramps are Harold Doyle, Gus Abrams and John Forrester Gedney, they were ID'd, cleared and released with no evidence against them, their arrest records existing to this day. Doyle has even been interviewed on camera more than once. D) Two actors seated bolt upright, facing forward, demolish Arlen Spector's "gross lie" of single bullet theory. Connally was seated lower, inboard and turned sharply to his right, strengthening single bullet theory. E) Police invade Texas Theater to arrest man for not paying admission. The man was a good match for the suspect just seen murdering a police officer nearby. F) Mean cops rough up unarmed Oswald in theater. Oswald drew his gun and tried to shoot the first officer to approach him, fighting so violently 3 officers were injured just disarming him. [Those officers risked their lives to capture their suspect alive as per their duty, but by now you can see Stone doesn't give a damn who he portrays as a conspirator in murder and treason so long as it suits him.] G) Oswald a lousy shot. Oswald scored 18 out of 20 in rapid fire at targets 200 yards away as per his Marines scorecard. H) 3 shots over 5.6 seconds. Victim's reactions in Zapruder's film clearly demonstrate 8-9 seconds, all you have to do is count. I) Oswald's POV at time of head shot would be blocked by foliage. Oswald's POV at time of head shot was clear. J) Jackie pulls Kennedy down in limo, allowing Connally to be shot. Zapruder film alone proves that's B.S. K) Witnesses on TSBD staircase never see Oswald, clearing him. He came downstairs before they did, and hilariously Stone never explains how the "real assassins" got away because they never saw them either! L) Fake bullet planted on Parkland Hospital stretcher. That bullet was matched to Oswald's rifle, it's in a condition perfectly consistent with going through Kennedy without hitting bone, slowing and tumbling on leaving him, as it would have done, and broadsiding its way through Connally's ribs, as forensic and medical evidence demonstrates: badly crushed at the nose and flattened down one side. Hilariously, Stone never explains how anybody planting a bullet within one hour of the shooting could possibly have known a bullet needed planting at all or that he wasn't simply planting one bullet too many into evidence and blowing the whole conspiracy. M) "Impossible" for Connally to be holding his hat after he was shot. Connally was still clutching his hat when he arrived at the hospital. N) Limo full of bullet holes. Only damage to the limo was a crack caused by a bullet fragment that damaged (from the INSIDE) the windshield and chrome plating, both still in the National Archives. O) Jean Hill sees knoll shooter, is immediately seized, sequestered and menaced by sinister agents. Hill was making no such claims in the 1960's, nor when she was interviewed on live TV the day of the assassination. P) Everything pertaining to Beverly Oliver character. Oliver is a notorious and demonstrable liar and grifter who could not possibly have been the "Babushka Lady," so naturally Stone snapped her up as an advisor.... Q) Officer Tippit shot by two men. Ms. Clemons' words make it clear enough she saw at best a shooter and a bystander, who would have been standing pretty much exactly where Frank Cimino would have been standing on running out of his house after hearing the shots. Hilariously, Stone, assuming we're all gullible idiots, never gets around to mentioning that other witnesses much closer to Tippit than Clemons firmly said there was only one shooter. R) Lee Bowers murdered. Bowers' car crash came some two years after he had already testified and was investigated by the police, the HSCA and by researcher David Perry, none of whom found any evidence for murder. S) Justice Department "does nothing" with regard to the HSCA's conclusions on "probable conspiracy." The Department investigated the evidence used by the HSCA to reach that conclusion, the dictabelt recording, which they discovered to be erroneous and invalid as evidence, soundly debunking and discrediting it more than 40 years ago. T) Guilt-ridden David Ferrie starts cooperating with Jim Garrison, is murdered. Ferrie died of Berry aneurysm after failing health, always hotly denied any knowledge of the assassination, and was preparing to sue Garrison for harassment. U) Jim Garrison advised by mysterious "Mr. X." Mr. X never existed, he was based on notorious grifter and kook Fletcher Prouty, the man who proved flying saucers and UFO's are real. V) 112th Military Group ordered to "stand down." Flatly contradicted by sworn HSCA of C.O. of Group, which provided extra men to assist Secret Service in Dallas. W) Open windows in Dealey Plaza prove conspiracy. Kennedy was often filmed riding in open parades through other cities surrounded by open windows all over the place. X) Garrison makes stirring speech to jury. Never happened. Y) Garrison successfully uncovers Clay Shaw as part of the assassination plot. Garrison's crackpot "case" against an innocent man whose life he ruined hinged on a star witness so unreliable he never appears in the movie, it fell apart within minutes of reaching his hand-picked jury, and he was soundly condemned by the ABA for his unprofessional and despicable conduct. Z) Garrison makes compelling case for conspriacy. Garrison implicated as conspirators and accessories all of the following: FBI, Secret Service, Dallas PD, CIA, entire WC staff, NBC, CBS, Newsweek, L.A. Times, Washington Post, neo-Nazis, Cuban guerrillas, 3 governors, Ronald Reagan included, Johnny Carson, Ramsey Clark, Chief Justice, US President, John Birch Society, 13 State Regional Democratic Organization, White Russian Community, lawyers defending people he suspected, oil industry, conspiracy authors critical of him, aerospace industry, the telephone company ("an extension of the US government"), and gays and masochists pulling off a "homosexual thrill killing..." And Stone had the nerve to make the talk show rounds demanding we all "applaud" this clown for his actions....

This movie is a joke. It ignores or twists all the facts that point towards Lee Harvey Oswald's guilt. The sad thing is some people watch this fantasy and think it's all true.

Any movie that takes 2 hours and 17 minutes to get the point across without interruption is a waste of our time just another Rich actor pretending to be someone else the movie really shocked me oh wait no I knew it would suck big deal the actor acts just like you did when he was in that one with the Indians

Movie is such a bunch of hogwash.

OSWALD ACTED ALONE PERIOD!

Fact is at least .6 shots fired but only hear three meaning shots killing jfk had to been with silencers as one that missed dug from grass coming over ny grassy knol.area
