Product Description
Product Description
November 22nd, 1963 was a day that changed the world forever – when young American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. We follow in almost real time a handful of individuals forced to make split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event that would change their lives and forever alter our world’s landscape: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the unwitting cameraman who captured what has become the most watched and examined film in history, the FBI Agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp and Vice President Lyndon Johnson who had to take control of a country in a moment’s notice. Thrust into a scenario of unprecedented drama with unimaginable consequences, these key characters respond with shock, outrage, determination and courage. Woven together, their seemingly disparate perspectives make one of the most thrilling and powerful stories never told. From producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman and writer/director Peter Landesman, Parkland is the true story behind a tragic day in history you thought you knew, but didn’t, and couldn’t, until now… 50 years later.

I've watched the 8MM film of Kennedy being hit in the head by a bullet dozens of times - that head-shot came from the front. His wife crawled onto the trunk of the car immediately following the impact of the bullet. Why? She was attempting to retrieve part of his skull - on the trunk of the car. There was also an alleged bullet hole in the front of Kennedy's throat which was altered, then claimed to be a tracheotomy. If that hole in Kennedy's throat was a bullet hole, it came from the front.
The Pristine Bullet theory and Warren Report were total fiction. I believe the Warren Commission didn't want the truth published, and my question has always been - why?
Although I appreciated the acting, this movie raises a few questions, but offers no answers. When Officer Tippet was shot, there were spent cartridge cases found at the scene. Oswald had a revolver, which raises the question, did Oswald stop long enough to eject empty cases from his revolver, or did someone else shoot Tippet with a semi-automatic which ejected the cases onto the street as they were fired?
I believe there was indeed a conspiracy to murder Kennedy. It's true Kennedy's body was immediately removed from Parkland - what was the real reason? There is speculation that evidence was being removed. There is also speculation that Kennedy's head wound was ... altered; neither would surprise me. Nobody was ever brought to justice, for the murder of the President of the United States! That leads me to believe that if anyone did know the truth, they would be dead, just like numerous witnesses, including David Ferry.
The movie is very interesting nonetheless.
I did watch the funeral service on tv Friday to Monday morning November 25th. Very sad 4 days!
OK, I loved the movie in the theater and was excited to pre-order it and view it the day it was delivered. The acting was excellent from each main character. The hospital scenes were gripping. I have had people tell me in advance that the camera was too shaky. Nope, it's just fine. Other TV shows are much more annoying in that regard. Since this is shot to feel like you were in the room and in the scenes, the hand held camera work is excellent without being distracting at all. Kudos to the camera person's, DP and the director.
There was no recreation of the assassination, as it's been done before Ad Nauseum and was not need to be done to further the storyline or benefit the film my opinion either. Showing the assassination with a camera locked strictly on Zapruder (that's how the film makers represented the assassination scene) filming with him 8mm camera, well,it was a little awkward as the shot seemed long... but later, using the Zapruder film was a creative idea as the moments of the assassination are reflected into Abraham Zapruder's glasses in a scene where he initially watches what he filmed that fateful day.
Many have said that Zack Efron was miscast, I give him credit that his acting worked in the scenes though. I can see why some will say his typecasting was a distraction. Tom Welling (Smallville) played an excellent role as a secret service agent.
None of the actors really got to sink their teeth into this since it was all a fast paced and albeit short film considering the subject matter that COULD have been explored. No actors spent too much time on screen as it was very paced.
Paul Giamatti (Abraham Zapruder) David Harbour (FBI AGENT) and Billy Bob Thorton (SECRET SERVICE) are memorable as you saw different emotional scenes with them. James Badge Dale was excellent as well as Robert Oswald, LHO's brother...
The FBI HQ scenes were (for me) very realistic. The set design/scenery and the overall atmosphere the production team tried to create was real. The guys smoking, the period clothes and haircuts, it all reminded me of the time. The scenes with Ron Livingston and David Harbor (Agents) were some of the best as they come to grips with the fact that they had LHO in their office just weeks before and could have possibly "stopped" the assasination. I found myself (a big fan of movies) really forgetting about the production requirements (all the behind the scene stuff) and getting into the scenes emotionally.
They left out any mention of Governor John Connolly... I found this really wrong and out of place as he was a big part of the story.

The film makers avoided spending time or money on many of the key players in this tragic story. The film was shot quite tight (framed close) probably keep the budget down and the money was surely spent on having the right talent, but it works because it plays better on emotion to do more close ups. the actors were then forced to provide better facial expressions too.
I was totally expecting to see a "Behind The Scenes" making of this film. It's come to be expected and was really expecting some interviews and behind the scenes footage as a documentary. Unfortunately the Blu-Ray does not provide this. There are about 10 'deleted' scenes and a Director Commentary audio setup and subtitles.
I must say, that the actors portraying Lee Harvey Oswald (Jeremy Strong) was totally excellent and underused. I wanted to see more scenes that included him. I guess I wanted to see what could have been - a world where Oswald survived to stand trial. The actor portraying him did well for the little time he was onscreen. And mother Oswald...wow. If that was really her persona, the actor who portrayed her (Jackie Weaver) really stole the scenes she appeared in.
The Blu-Ray is worth buying as the price is very reasonable.
