Parkland
8/24: Talk about rewriting history.

Everything about Parkland is awful. No wonder why one of the producers was Tom Hanks. They had to play it safe. Almost everything portrayed in the film isn't what actually happened. Worst of all, during the critical moments, I couldn't see anything, and when there's nothing related to JFK, it's easy to capture everything. Such ridiculous shit.

This is what occurred on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. JFK was shot multiple times, most especially in the front, which means that somebody at the grassy knoll did it and ultimately blew away the back of JFK's head with another bullet through his throat. Supposedly situated on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository from the back of JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald had nothing to do with it; he was just a "patsy" as in somebody who was set up to take the fall. In fact, he didn't know what was going on and wasn't on the floor at the moment when JFK was assassinated. When he found out the truth for the first time, it was too late. Hence, Jack Ruby entered the picture to shut him up permanently.

The gun that Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly used, the Mannlicher-Carcano, is the worst piece of shit anyone can use to kill a person from 1,000 yards. Everybody, even the skilled snipers, tried out the gun and concluded that it just couldn't be done. It's because every time it fired a bullet, you had to pull back the dead bolt and take your time to recaliberate and then resight the target which is a long while. All of the shooting, which is three bullets in total, as captured on the Zapruder film took six seconds, but nobody was able to accomplish it within that amount of time. Therefore, the gun was planted along with a bogus paper trail.

There's so much information that it's hard to put everything down in this review, so I highly recommend you read Jesse "The Body" Ventura's book They Killed Our President: 63 Reasons to Believe There Was a Conspiracy to Assassinate JFK. I know you may be skeptical because of the author, but it's extremely accurate, well-written, and logical. Also, he summarized everything as taken from so many JFK conspiracy theory books, so I consider this one to be the be-all and end-all. The media has been helping cover it up because everybody knows the government, LBJ, the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, the mafia, the Texas oil millionaires, and the anti-Castro people all conspired together to kill JFK. After it happened, the Secret Service illegally stole his body from Parkland while the limousine (a literal murder scene!) was quickly taken to Ford Motor Company's Rouge Plant in Detroit, Michigan, in order to be destroyed and refurbished.

Anyway, back to Parkland...like I said, it's awful and full of lies. The acting sucks, and the emotions...I just don't care about any of the characters. I only wanted to see the film to find out how much everybody lied about the events, and I came away extremely disgusted. It's like being stabbed in the back by the Warren Commission once more on top of Arlen Specter's über preposterous "Magic Bullet" theory. Of all people, Vincent Bugliosi of Helter Skelter fame wrote the book Reclaiming History Four Days in November: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As a result, I've lost so much respect for him.

All in all, just stay away from Parkland, and instead see JFK to get the truth.
