I just watched this again. What a masterpiece. The acting, editing, cinematography, production values, all impeccable.
The film is mainly historical fiction. Stone is in no way saying Garrison's theory is what happened to the President. He is basically telling people not to be naive when it comes to the government. I think the last few years have really hammered that home.
My friend's dad was second in command for the FBI in Dallas when Kennedy was assassinated. For years and years, her journalist husband tried (in vain) to get something out of him. He was quite casual about it - oh, you know, I just read such and such. And his father-in-law would say, oh, really? NADA.
I don't think we'll ever know who was responsible for the assasination. But if you want to see a compelling film, this is it.
