ÉTHE STORY
È
"JFK"  is  based on the books :  "On
The  Trail  of The Assassins" by Jim
Garrison  and "Crossfire :  The Plot
That  Killed  Kennedy" by Jim Marrs.
Through   the  film  we  follow Ê Jim
GarrisonÈ,  a  public prosecutor from
New  Orleans,  and his colleagues in
their  lonely  struggle to solve the
mystery  surrounding  the killing of
ÊPresident  John F.  Kennedy. È As the
case develops they get more and more
certain that the official version of
the  killing  is  wrong.  The trails
leads  to  the  government, FBI, CIA
and Ex-Cubans, but the problem is to
prove  the  connection.   Garrison's
witnesses   are   either  killed  in
mysterious       "accidents"      or
threatened,  after  they have agreed
to  cooperate  with Garrison and his
men.     Soon    his   investigation
threatens   his  private  life,  but
Garrison  is fixed on continuing his
fight against the system.


ÉTHE FILM
È
"JFK"  is  rather  unusual directed.
ÊOliver   StoneÈ  uses  much  original
film-recordings  and  mix  them with
own  studio-recordings,  which makes
it  pretty  hard  to  decide what is
authentic  and what is not.  But all
in  all the over 3 hour long film is
beautifully  made, as we know Oliver
Stone can and which he has proven on
several  occasions  in Ê "Born On the
4th  of July"È andÊ "Platoon"È.  Oliver
Stone  recently  won  a Golden Globe
award  as best director and "JFK" is
certain  to be nominated for several
"Oscars".   The  film as gotten very
good   critics,  but  is  criticized
because  of it's dangerous treatment
of  history.  If you're certain that
president  Kennedy  was  killed by a
lonesome  assassin,  this  film will
make you think twice...



ÉTHE ACTORS
È
On   a   press-conference  recently,
ÊKevin  CostnerÈ said that the role as
Jim  Garrison was his most important
yet,  and,  in my opinion he manages
this  task  perfectly.  But it isn't
only  Costner  who impresses, people
like Ê Kevin  BaconÈ  (Tremors), ÊTommy
Lee   Jones È  (The   Package), Ê Gary
OldmanÈ,Ê   Sissy   Spacek È  (Carrie),
ÊDonald   Sutherland È  (A  Dry  White
Season),Ê  John  Candy È (Uncle Buck),
ÊJack  Lemmond È (Dad)  and Ê Joe Pesci
È(Goodfellas)    do    their   things
excellent.

 
"JFK"  will probably be one of the
best    movies    in   1992.    It's
provocative,   exciting,   powerful,
unique  and amazingly well made.  If
you  haven't  seen it yet you better
act  now  or  you will regret it for
the rest of your life.

ÊLH:É I was with Tommy at the cinema
and I can't understand how Tommy is
able to write this article. The only
thing he did was looking at VERY
nice girl beside him!
