I was watching JFK today as I was doing other things around the house - mostly in the kitchen. This movie is a wonderful orchestra of actors, story and directing. My husband is a bit of a JFK fanatic. He watches all the movie about JFK, the shooting and that has taught me a lot that I hadn't known. (thanks to my wonderful history classes that didn't get past 1900) So, here I am, at home with just minor household chores to do and watching a movie I have seen many times. The first time was on the big screen with my hubby and his son. We had just been married 2 years and were still in a honeymoon feeling. The poor kid was just 14 and I didn't think he was going to make it thru the whole thing, but he did. And the discussion that came afterwards was great. Knowing the exwife and boys mom, I was happy to learn that breeding can begat some brains. I enjoyed the movie just because of all the actors that I knew from so many other things - seeing them in a new light. Norm from Seinfield, Jackie from Roseanne, Kevin Costner was excellent, but I mean, geesh, Sissy Spacek, Kevin Bacon, John Candy, Jack Lemmon, Joe Pesci - it goes on and on. They all played off of each other so well and it was an amazing movie. I think what really amazed me was that this movie was about a trial and such that happened so many years ago - and yet it was so difficult for anyone to believe that it was a conspiracy and that there were men on the grassy knoll. I still listen to the scene where they are in the trial and Costner is saying "back and to the left" over and over. It is a valid point. How did that bullet bounce as it did. Stop in mid air as it did and then continue on to kill. If we are all believers that it was a conspiracy, or at least nonbelievers that Oswald acted alone, why was nothing more done? So JFK died. Oswald was killed and has been said...the truth is out there.
