JFK

In the movie JFK, the director decides to use real broadcasts from the time of JFK’s death. I feel that by doing this, the director makes the conspiracy seem like a more realistic possibility. One scene that really exemplifies how the real broadcasts affected the realistic aspect of the movie is when the lawyers are first starting their investigation in Dallas. They decide to walk down the street where JFK was shot and search the buildings around the area. Before this scene happened, the live footage of the parade was shown multiple times giving the setting of the movie a historic feel. As the lawyers searched, I kept thinking of how they were in the same locations as JFK before he was shot. By adding these clips, it made the movie seem as if it was more of a documentary then a historic thriller. It definitely gave the movie creditability and made the conspiracy seem more believable.
