The Assassination & Mrs. Paine

I guess this is an interesting vantage point for an US-audience, since its part in the national history. I know many younger Germans like to watch documentaries about Hitler, with it having been recorded so extensevely and all. In both cases, nothing new is being revealed. Hitler didn't defect to South America, nor did Elvis get abducted by aliens (as I presume). As with JFK the same old information is presented in a slightly different light. They're milking these stories for as long as humanly possible, but - hey, as long as it is fun to watch, by all means, onward and upward with it. Nothing new or revealing here.

I really enjoyed watching this film. There are so many layers to this mystery. It was like watching an onion getting peeled later by layer. The film was personal and engaging. I will definitely be watching it more than once!

As our political and media elites express horror over the Jan. 6th "insurrection" let's not forget that the country has already been victimized by a coup that happened on November 22nd 1963. This was not executed by a bunch of yahoos many of whom mistook the event for Halloween. This was the president's head being blown off in broad daylight by serious people. The country has never really recovered. This excellent film bravely sheds light on this horrific event. Highly recommended!

They always use people close to the vest for such big operations as the jfk assassination. She has not changed her story all these years. They also lay out very well the psychological warefare game that the Paines laid with linking oswald to Kostikov ,and him possibly being a Russian agent. Then Johnson had to force the lone nut story because we cant risk nuclear war. We were forced to accept that for the good of the country. But we didn't.

Always interesting to see photos, films and people interviewed, I haven't seen before . Opposing Arguments are well represented. I learned about The connections the Paine's had ,. What I enjoyed the most about the whole movie, was Ruth & Michael Paine, ! After reading about them all these years.
