Rating:  - Good for Archival Footage, Not Much Else
I've read about 30 books on the Kennedy years and Kennedy assassination, as well as the Warren Report, and countless programs about it. I feel I have a pretty solid base for a description - and if you're looking for anything new regarding the assassination, you won't find it here.
The first half of this film is top-notch, discussing some key events of Kennedy's presidency and providing excellent archival footage and interesting analysis. The assassination itself was described very ... Read More
Rating: - A little intense, but worthwhile.
JFK: A Revisionist History helps the viewer to understand that the [...] of John F. Kennedy was far more complex than having been committed by a lone, crazed gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald. In fact it makes a good case for the whole thing not having been committed by Oswald at all. This even goes into all the political events and those who may (or may not) have played a part in doing this horrific act. It also goes into a lot about the autopsy and whether the shot to the President's head did damage ... Read More
Rating:  - Cornerstone of a Conspiracy Theory
Excellent DVD! The historical footage as well as enigmatic soundtrack added to the documentary without being overly dramatic or campy. The historical background material adds perspective to the whole issue. When watching "JFK" (Oliver Stone, starring Kevin Kostner), the movie very poorly touches on the issue of the mafia...although I knew the history of the Cuban revolution, I never connected why they might want to shoot Kennedy. Or the Mafia for that matter! "JFK" leaned heavily on the Coup-de-tat ... Read More
Rating: - ACTUALLY, A PRETTY GOOD DVD
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service (and President Kennedy's interaction with the agency), I was much interested in this DVD by Matthew White. Quite frankly, I didn't expect much, but the technical brilliance of the program---and the archival footage contained herein---make this a worthwhile purchase. Get this. vince palamara
Rating: - Some Great Archival Footage In Here; Several Rare Film And Video Clips; Definitely Recommended For JFK Collectors
"The Murder Of JFK: A Revisionist History" makes a very nice addition to any collection of John F. Kennedy-related materials (regardless of whether you're "pro-conspiracy", "anti-conspiracy", or somewhere in between with respect to your particular beliefs regarding President Kennedy's assassination). Although a definite thread of conspiratorial belief most certainly is woven into this documentary, it's not shamefully brazen or overly ridiculous-sounding in terms of conspiracy, which is unlike many of ...
