The Story That Won't Go Away


An Oliver Stone Film

               He's a District Attourney.
                  He will risk his life, 
                     the lives of his family, 
                        everything he hold dear
                            for the one thing he holds sacred...
                                    the truth.
JFK is the story of one man's search for the truth, and his relentless pursuit for justice. The film follows District Attourney Jim Garrison as he tracks down the conspirators to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. The film eventually follows Garrison's trial against businessman Clay Shaw, the only trial against a believed assassinaion conspirator. Due to the subject matter and the selective information shown by director Oliver Stone, JFK became one of the most controvercial films in history. JFK was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film took home awards for Cinematography and Film Editing.

DEDICATED TO THE YOUNG,
IN WHOSE SPIRIT THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH
MARCHES ON.

And here are some of my favorite JFK quotes:

Jim: I didn't always agree with him- too liberal for my tastes- but I respected him. He had style... God, I'm ashamed to be an American today.

Lou: Well, no trial now. Looks like someone saved the Dallas D.A. a pile of work.

Jim: You know, something always bothered me about that from day one, and I can't put my finger on it.

Long: If I were investigatin', I'd round up the 100 best riflemen in the world and find out which ones were in Dallas that day. You been duck hunting? I think Oswald was a good old-fashioned decoy. What'd he say? "I'm just a patsy." Out of the mouth of babes y'ask me.

Jim: Now come around here, take a look at this... 544 Camp Street. Same building as 531 Lafayette, right... but with different addresses and different entrances both going to the same place- the offices on the second and third floors. Guess who used this address?

Lou: My God! Lee Harvey Oswald.
