Film Analysis: The Men Who Killed Kennedy

Improved Essays
On November 22,1963 the United States took a major toll in history. President Kennedy was assassinated around 12:30 pm while driving around in an open open hooded convertible in Texas. The culprit was none other than a U.S. Marines man named Lee Oswald, but this is not the story told by the video called The Men Who Killed Kennedy. This movie is split into various parts, and the part I have recently watched was called “ The Love Affair”. This segment of the documentary was told from the side of a woman named Judy Baker. According to her Oswald played a role in the assassination, but not the role the United States government has assigned him. He was trying to protect President Kennedy. That Oswald was the scapegoat. He was blamed for an act …show more content…
A person the whole nation can blame and shun, but of course this person can not be the government. If the U.S. people found out their own government was responsible for an act like assassinating the president or even planning on using cancer to kill Castro; the people of the U.S. would lose hope in their own government or, the drastic side, stop following their own government. If the people of the U.S. found out some people they are supposed to follow did such heinous acts without the knowledge or consent of the people; some would believe our government has gone to a dictatorship. I mean think about it. People who do anything for power and pursue actions without allowing their people to participate or have knowledge of the act. This sounds like a soft dictator or some other type of government. Not the free country we have that the people decides what happens. So, to not cause stress or panic the true assigns need a scapegoat, and what better two people then a Military man who is so deep undercover no matter what he does he risks the annihilation of himself and his secret women that he cheats with on his wife ,and that same women is in work that if she blabs people will think she is crazy. There are no better two people, besides Castro himself, to blame and get away with blamming. These two people were already disposable and knew too much information anyway. The government had to get rid of them, or at least one. Oswald was already in association because he knew about the assassination and wanted to save the President. The true assigns just twisted the words of the truth to make Oswald look guilty and threatened to “get rid” of Jenny if she ever spoke the truth. I mean why, at this age, would a women make up an elaborate story like this to save her ex lover 's name this many years later, unless she 's plain

    Since Oswald liked Cuba more, Fidel Castro was their leader, who was communist. Oswald did like those two things better than the U.S., so he thought that’s how the U.S. should be too. Along with that, he overall didn't like the Democratic Party and didn't agree with JFK. He was mostly one sided on the political aspect of things, even though some witnesses say before the assassination happened, he “somewhat liked JFK” (Before It’s News 1), no one would've thought that he would've been the one to shoot him.…

    In the book the accidental victim it is stated that on the day of November the 22nd the man that was supposed to be assassinated was John Cornally, the governor of Texas at the time. This book states that Harvey Oswalt was the assassin meaning this book does not revolve around the idea of who killed the president. The reasoning as in why John Cornally was the target that day was because Oswalt felt like he had been betrayed by him. In the book it is stated that Oswalt had no problems with John F. Kennedy, and the book portrays why would Oswalt pick up a riffle and specifically kill the president that day. The main reasoning behind the hatred of conally which according to the book caused the shooting was because when conally was the secretary of the navy he rejected a petition from Oswalt to reverse his dishonorable discharge from the marines.…

    It is dangerous because everything that the government does affects every single individual. An example of this is how ralph decides that hunting is a bigger priority than being saved, this affected the littluns greatly because now they thought that killing was better than being saved as well. An example from the JFK film is how all the high powers combined together and decided to assassinate JFK, they thought of themselves and didn’t care at all about how it would affect the masses of society. Another reason why the way the government views us is dangerous is because they don’t care about society and they would do anything for themselves no matter what it takes. An example of this is in the JFK film when Garrison is getting closer to the truth and finding suspects to testify and then they all start to suspiciously die before then can even testify.…

    The Kennedy Assassination There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, (JFK). One of the most prominent, is that lone gunman and communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald, on his own accord, took matters into his own hand and singlehandedly planned and executed the President of the United States of America. Another theory was that Oswald was a pawn in a deadly game of politics and mafia wars and was directed by the powers that be to kill JFK, and in an effort to prevent him from ever exposing the plot, he too was murdered in cold blood. Curiously, the theory that weighs in most heavily is that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for the murder of JFK. Popular conspiracy theories claimed the “government” was behind it and the murder was in retaliation for a political upset, specifically, the Bay of Pigs conflict in Cuba (Polidoro, 2005).…
