I think JFK is a great movie with a few flaws. Things that are covered well and faithful to the evidence: * Basically all the parts of the movie which are set in Dealey Plaza (reconstructed like no other film has done before or since) * Oswald's background and enigmatic lifestyle * The activities at the Carousel Club * Dean Andrews * Sylvia Odio and the Mexico City incident * Guy Banister, Jack Martin, and the 544 Camp Street leaflets * Vernon Bundy * The voter registration witnesses * The apparent Oswald impersonations * George de Mohrenschildt * The autopsy Things that aren't covered so well: * Claw Shaw (some of the evidence against him is just fabricated in the film, which is very frustrating) * David Ferrie (some parts good, others not) * Jim Garrison's personal life (eg incorrectly depicting the Shaw interview as happening on Easter Sunday to win personal favor - nauseating) * "Janet and Bill Williams", obviously the Paines * "Mr. X", while an accurate portrayal of Fletcher Prouty, it gives an inaccurate impression of the timeline of the case Many people object to the composite character ("Willie O'Keefe") played by Kevin Bacon, but this doesn't bother me. I think it's about as good as you can do with those characters without making the film another hour longer to tell each of their backgrounds. Overall, I think that JFK does a good job of presenting the most important evidence that Kennedy was killed as the result of a conspiracy (something I assert is very likely), and does so in a way which is likely to prompt viewers to do additional research. It's not as hard on every fact as I wish it were, but it's still way above the mean for a historical film. Stone has also published a 600 page book in response to the hullaballo surrounding the film, inviting and platforming his strongest critics (and responses to them), along with a painstaking bibliography of essentially every fact asserted in the film. [0] I think that deserves commendation; commitment to this degree of dialogue is very rare for a Hollywood film. 0: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/430224.JFK https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/430224.JFK
