“JFK”
I was given a good movie on DVD as a gift: “JFK”. I did not expect that it had been filmed already back in 1991. Kevin Costner plays a lawyer who tries to investigate the case. The movie is actually based on facts and real people. I was particularly impressed by the depiction of subjects such as power and politics as well as justice and personal responsibility. The lawyer finds himself in the conflict between his incredibly important work to reveal the truth, which could change the course of the nation and even the world (remember the Cuba Crisis), and his marriage and family who suffer because of this work. He feels the urgency to stand up for the truth.
Although the subject John F. Kennedy is good stock for conspiracy theories, this movie does not deal with it in a tabloid manner, yet offers plenty of suspense. It is a movie with exceptional length that I can very much recommend. By the way, I think I have found a slight continuity problem in the courtroom scene (at approximately 2h 45min): A former colleague of the lawyer wears different suits from shot to shot.
