I Am A Conspiracy Theorist And I Just Watched This Movie

I inquired about this movie yesterday, because I was fearful that it would be too offensive for me. A couple of nice posters answered me, so I decided to take my chances.

I do think the movie is worth watching IF you have an interest in the Kennedy Assassination. Some of the sequences are very good, and I enjoyed the vintage news coverage.

I do think that the movie takes the position that Oswald's guilt is a foregone conclusion. Marguerite Oswald, his mother, is portrayed as a lunatic. Lee himself comes across as creepy; in real life, he protested his innocence and claimed to be a patsy. In the movie, he says little, and looks guilty.

It has been pretty well established that Lee Oswald worked for the CIA and/or the FBI. The day jobs he held were "cover" jobs so that he wouldn't arouse suspicion. Oswald was actually given the job at the Book Depository by his CIA handler. So what his mother says about him seems to be absolutely true. However, the way she says it, it sounds like she's saying her son is an alien from outer space, and she does not sound credible.

I know that Tom Hanks made this movie, and that Tom Hanks believes wholeheartedly in Oswald's guilt. So I'm not surprised, I'm just a little disappointed.

Also--the viewer does not get a good look at Abraham Zapruder's film. I wonder why? Maybe it would show that the last shot CAME FROM THE FRONT.
