" One may smile, and smile, and be a villain "
"Hamlet" William Shakespeare
An Oliver Stone masterpiece about President Kennedy's assassination. Jim Garisson (Kevin Costner) is a District Attorney who reopens the case and finds out that things aren't exactly as the official FBI story presents.
The movie was released in 1991, but before this date it managed to become the apple of discord. A reporter of "The Washington Post" visited the set and wrote a caustic article about the screenplay. Many papers followed especially after the movie release, attacking the accuracy of the historical facts presented in the film, which led to a numb box-office start. The future, though, held much better moments and soon enough the film grew worldwide with more than $205 million! The eight nominations and two Academy Awards (Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing) prove the true value of a great team.
Oliver Stone claims this one to be his favorite film of his own!
Did you know that: The film rated #5 of the 25 most controversial movies of all time. Entertainment Weekly, 16 June 2006.
Waiting for your comments. Till then... Enjoy!
