Peter Jennings Reporting: The Kennedy Assassination - Beyond Conspiracy (2003)

Wow! Such a good movie.

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This should be viewed by all as an example of a disgusting, dishonest bulldozer through the truth. ABC and Peter Jennings make up our precious history and probably the most important events in that history out of pure fantasy. If you ever doubted America has its implausible propaganda (way beyond anything the Nazis or the Soviet Union could even dream about), then take a good look because here it is. I was especially furious to see Dale Myers with his idiotic computer-animated depiction of the Zapruder film, smugly making a truly bogus analysis of the event, claiming that he could see where the bullet rips through Gov. Connally's jacket, and that the "single bullet theory" is no longer a theory, but fact. He never mentions that the same bullet shattered Connally's wrist, even though Connally is holding on to his cowboy hat for several seconds. I notice that a poll was taken after this show aired and no one was convinced. Shame on Peter Jennings and ABC for trying to foist this on us! If this is what the American media is capable of, what other lies have they jammed down our throats?

The 3d emulation which all this movie is based on is quite impressive and visually interesting and fascinating. But this documentary is too poor of important elements. No words from the many witnesses, no investigation on the many photographs and other elements and mostly, denies the last shoot to JFK's has been done from a different angle than the book deposit. Who would like to get a better idea about what happened i suggest everyone to look for the movies "the men who killed Kennedy" by Nigel Turner. Around 10 hrs of informations, evidences and witnesses interview that can really give you more clues about JFK's assassination.

Unlike most documentaries that I've seen on the assassination, this one presents most, if not all of the differing views and lays them out for the viewer to see. The viewer is invited to follow along with the serious researchers and see for himself what they've spent years trying to painstakingly uncover: a search for the truth, whatever it may be. It presents the theory that Oswald murdered the President and acted alone in a much more convincing manner than previous works I've read or watched on television. The flaws of all the conspiracy theories are examined as well as the works of the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s. It is time well spent for the serious intellectual who seeks to better understand the assassination from every angle. As someone who believed for more than twenty years that there was a conspiracy to murder President Kennedy, I now question it. I never thought anything would ever change my mind about that. This is a must-see documentary that will open your eyes to the truth if you are willing to listen.

I couldn't stop to seen this documentary till its end. I was stuck in my chair. Like once i couldn't stop to seen Oliver Stone's JFK (1991). Instead, there were moments that i have arrived to think that the original title of this one was Peter Jennings reporting: The Kennedy Assassination - Beyond Conspiracy of Oliver Stone. The last 30 minutes are entirely dedicated to dismount the Stone's movie theory. That's not bad, sure, but at least Mark Obenhaus does the same that tries to criticize. I miss more testimonies of people that believe in conspiracy theories I think it would done better this movie. In a state of democracy i think it's good to have both versions (Obenhaus-Stone) for make each one his own version. But we must remember that Obenhaus has done a documentary and Stone a fiction...with all the reserves that it means...for both of them.
