Oliver Stone's "JFK"

[smirkymonkey]

I wasn't around during the Kennedy Assassination, and I was still a silly party girl when this movie came out. I watched it for the first time last night and was STUNNED by the similarities between the Power elite then and now. This time, instead of the Mafia & the Cubans it's the Saudis and the Neo-Cons.

I would say this "Vast Right Wing" conspiracy has been going on since at least the Kennedy Administration, if not earlier. And what really struck me is how easily they get away with it and how it is nearly impossible to stop them. It almost makes one want to give up entirely.

First of all, how factual is that movie? Is most of it based on fact or did Stone take "artistic liberties"? Secondly, what are some of the things you remember from the film that seem especially pertinent or poignant during this particular time in our history?
