Introduction to the Assassination of John Kennedy
The assassination of John Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, has been a topic of interest for many years. In response to an executive regulation issued by US President Donald Trump, the company was removed from the documents in connection with the murder of three American politicians: John Kennedy and his brother Robert, and the preacher Martin Luther King. Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963, during a review in a street in the city of Dallas, Texas, in an open car, has been the subject of numerous investigations, interpretations, and accusations.
Background on Presidential Assassinations
John Kennedy was murdered 62 years after the last murder of an American president, which was the assassination of President William McKinley on September 14, 1901. Before him, President Abraham Lincoln was murdered in 1865, and President James Garfield was murdered in 1881. Although the motives for the murder of McKinley and Garfield were not proven to be political, the murder of Lincoln was a political act, as it was a consequence of the 4-year slave exemption war (1861-1865), which brought him many protests from different sources.
The Assassination of John Kennedy
Kennedy’s assassination wore many secrets, interpretations, and accusations. Questions such as who was behind the crime, who paid Oswald’s assassination, and whether Oswald was alone or not, have been raised. Theories about the involvement of the FBI, CIA, and foreign countries have also been proposed. These questions and theories have been explored in numerous films and documentaries, with more than 30 films having been made about the topic.
Films About the Assassination
One of the most famous films about the assassination is "JFK", directed by Oliver Stone in 1991. The film presents a series of conspiracy theories and each of them is subject to an unaffected debt. The director’s intention is that a finger is not accused of anyone alone, so the film was delivered with a series of conspiracy theories. Another film, "Executive Action", directed by David Miller in 1973, explores the story of the murder as an implementation of the government’s political authorities that Kennedy wanted to get rid of for her own political goals.
Documentaries and Investigative Films
The film "JFK: The Case for Conspiracy" (1993) is a documentary that presents paragraphs from the official report on the incident and examines its reality. The film "Ruby and Oswald" (1978) and "Ruby" (1992) explore the topic of Jacques Ruby, who killed Oswald. The film "The Secret KGB: JFK -Assassination" (1993) points out that the Russian intelligence was behind the attack. The film "LBJ" (2016) indicates that President Lyndon B. Johnson could be involved in getting rid of Kennedy.
Fictional Films
The film "In the Line of Fire" (1993) is not directly about John Kennedy but explores the topic of a plot to assassinate the President. These films, both fictional and documentary, show the ongoing interest in the assassination of John Kennedy and the various theories surrounding it. Each film provides a unique perspective on the events surrounding the assassination, and together they offer a comprehensive look at one of the most significant events in American history.
