At this point, so many years after Kennedy's death, and even with all the time that has passed since Stone's own JFK, this feels like a documentary where the director is over-explaining stuff, and to some extent he's even rubbing his ego. ButAt this point, so many years after Kennedy's death, and even with all the time that has passed since Stone's own JFK, this feels like a documentary where the director is over-explaining stuff, and to some extent he's even rubbing his ego. But also now that I remember, JFK, Jackie their son will be coming back to life according to the qanon crazy **** so it's appropriately timed.… Expand

The problem remains that 60 years after the assasination, no matter how convincing the new evidence is, very little will come out of this in in terms of resolving the murder, finding and punishing the responsible parties or abolishing respectively fixing the structures that enabled this to happen in the first place.… Expand

This is a great follow-up to both JFK and Oliver Stone's Secret History series, which was also fascinating.

Not that anyone needed much of a nudge to believe there was hinky **** goin down in the city on the JFK assassination, but this adds a lot of fuel to a long-smoldering fire. The Magic Bullet fiasco, JFK's body, and missing witness testimonies are all added bonuses to something a lot of folks have already arrived at; it was a "coup d'etat."

Many of the presented facts are interesting and worth pondering about. Unfortunately this is a very mixed bag of various things that at least I found difficult to connect and piece together.

Problem seems to be that there's so much stuff that even the creator of this documentary film had trouble piecing it together into a cohesive narrative. One of the big omissions I felt was that the film makers completely jumped over what role did the Roscoe A. White play in the assasination of JFK.

The documentary also just kind of ends without having a summary of anykind at end. Which is kind of disappointing.… Expand

While it has its flaws and Stone's theories are open for debate, the very least JFK Revisited does is to stimulate the viewer to ask questions about what happened in Dallas, before and afterwards.
