Seems a non-sequitur to conflate hours-long storytelling with seconds-long news footage. Comparing the blockbuster money machine _Avatar_ with accidental pictures of a presidential assassination just doesn’t ... I can’t even come up with a term for the comparison to denounce precisely because they’re incomparable.

It’s a good choice. That film will live in infamy for another 50 years and more.

What ever happened to the ‘other’ film that was discovered back in the 90’s(?) taken by someone else, from another vantage point, and had been locked away for decades in someone’s camera in the attic?.......................

The assassination would not of even happened in Dallas if the alert SS had not broken up the early and mid November, very similar to Dallas’s motorcade, plots in Chicago and Tampa.

52 years have passed.

We all saw what happened.

But we still don’t know what really happened.

This is the first I’ve heard of another film. Very interesting.

Very interesting take.

I don't know if I agree with his conclusion, but he makes a very good case for it.

You can easily see the single bullet on frame 224 as it makes Connelly’s right hand coat collar pop out. Always was one guy with two bullets.

No magic bullet. Two (at least) shots, one in the neck/chest another in the right temple.

There was that ‘other film’ I saw in the early 90’s where the driver turns around to his right, shoots him in the head, using his left hand, with what looked like a nickel plated .45, and Jackie tries to then get away by turning and climbing over the trunk of the limo, but is pulled back inside.

If you start at the 07 mark and click/stop/click/stop through the 08 ... you will see what some have purported as the driver shooting with his left hand, looking over his shoulder and immediately following the shot, stashing SOMETHING and speeding off

I always thought it was photo shop ... now I don't know

I’ve always wondered why Jackie climbed on the back of the car. A recent documentary explained that she was trying to collect the brain mass.

I don’t think it was shopped. William Cooper seemed to be the one publicizing that film. Gee, he got shot in his yard by ‘cops’ when going to check the mailbox not too many years later.

The Vietnam War.

Another instance of blood and gore brought to our living room courtesy of the networks.

If the Zapruder film had any influence (and it did) on awakening our society to death on screen - then the war in Vietnam sealed the deal.
