Desertman84 Killing Kennedy is a TV movie based on the book written by FOX analyst Bill O' Reilly that tells the story of the late President John F. Kennedy particularly his assassination and that of his alleged killer,Lee Harvey Oswald. The screenplay tells a parallel story about Kennedy and Oswald from the 1960 US Presidential elections until that fateful day of November 22,1963 when the President was assassinated at Dallas,Texas.Rob Lowe stars as the United States President John F. Kennedy together with Will Rothhaar,who portrays Oswald,Ginnifer Goodwin and Michelle Trachtenberg.The TV movie starts with John F.Kennedy preparing for his speech to announce his candidacy for President.He belongs a prominent family that has great plans for the male children.As for the other story,we get to see a young 20-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald renounce his US citizenship at the US embassy.He becomes disillusioned as a Marine and turned into becoming a Marxist. The story goes to show how both Kennedy and Oswald progress with the former from being a presidential candidate into being elected into the White House and the latter from being a member of the US marine into becoming a Marxist that started working as a Russian spy.It concludes with that fateful day in November when Oswald performed the assassination and when he was later shot by Jack Ruby three days later.Conspiracy theorists will definitely be disappointed since it is not the same as Oliver Stone's 1991 movie JFK as it shows Oswald being alone and definitely guilty in shooting Kennedy within three shots.There will be no additional knowledge about conspiracy for it just portrays what history has always thought Americans about what happened on that day as Oswald as the lone gunman.As far as the other parts of the story is concerned,it is definitely too short being a 95-minute film. If there is one reason to see it, I would suggest that the viewer will be treated to great acting particularly from Rob Lowe,who provided a spectacular performance as President Kennedy himself. That alone is enough to provide pure delight and entertainment.

Jazzie-too Old adage: "Less is more" just didn't work here. Casting Rob Lowe as Kennedy is OK. Looks were right on! Kennedy's Bostonian accent was a little weak, but still OK enough. And his eyes were not the gorgeous blue of Rob Lowe, but rather a greenish, dull gray. And JFK's back aliments were barely addressed with a few needles and syringes and pills. Maybe that was enough. Lowe is very presidential. Miss the West Wing! What I did not like at all was the actress given the role of Jackie. Everything about her was a miss. Her looks, her manner of speech, her tone, her movement, her dress. Her hair! Her looks bothered me the most. There was nothing chic or sophisticated. I strongly feel Jackie's demure looks were part of her everyday look and personality. And I don't recall any portrayals of the wonderful renovations Jackie brought to the White House. William Devane was probably the best impersonator of Kennedy. But he would look too old now. And for Bobby, I've seen excellent portrayals of him, but not here. The guy did not have the stature or charisma. Then there's LHOswald! OMGosh! they needed to mess that guys hair up a bit and get the color right. His face needed a beat-down. They just needed someone else! Then there's the rush to produce this in a very short period of time and make it a less than 90 minute film. Absurd! For sure they're going to be bying a lot. Like they didn't know for the last 10 years that the fiftieth anniversary was coming up in 2013! The story just was not adequate. Bill O'Reilly just needed to sell another book! And this one should have just stayed on the shelf!

dy158 It is a story where we know what would happen in the end, as the title speaks for itself. Much had been said and written what happened on that day in Dallas, Texas and what could have motivated Lee Harvey Oswald and whether he acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But this television film deals with none of that, and only what the world actually knows took place on that day and the backstories of the two people at the heart of it in Oswald and the US President John F. Kennedy.Before their respective lives crossed with each other, Lee Harvey Oswald (Will Rothaar) has been a former US Marine who has grown disillusioned with his own country in the United States and John F. Kennedy (Rob Lowe) is a senator and a politician on the rise and his own political career took a dramatic turn after the assassination of his senator brother Robert (Jack Noseworthy) on the presidential campaign trail for the Democrat ticket for the 1960 presidential election. While Oswald would head for the Soviet Union and seek asylum there and becoming a defector in the process, Kennedy would eventually come to come up against the Republican candidate Richard Nixon and would win the election along with his vice-presidential candidate choice in Lyndon Johnson (Francis Guinan).After initially settling down in Russia, Oswald would move to Belarus where at a dance, he met his future wife Marina (Michelle Trachtenberg). The Oswalds would be on the move again after the birth of their child, and this time it is back to the United States after Oswald realised the Soviet Union was not what he had imagined to be. The young family would eventually end up in Dallas, Texas.Meanwhile, Kennedy would come to make a visit to Dallas, Texas as part of campaigning for a second term in the 1964 presidential election. This will be when the lives of both Kennedy and Oswald would come to cross with each other, and things will never be the same again for them and for the United States in the aftermath of what would come to take place.It is more than just what happened on that fateful day in Dallas, it is also what led up to it. It is also the story of how two people who are not related to each other would come to find their lives cross with each other in one day, and their respective spouses in Marina Oswald and Jacqueline Kennedy (Gennifer Goodwin). It is as poignant, as chilling, and as haunting it could be for a story to be told to a new generation.

Armand not conspiracy theories, not great revelations. only two stories and the link between them. a correct film, boring and disappointing for the fans of cool subject but, more important, a honest work. and this fact is important because , far of usual expectations, it is only a National Geographic exercise , part of a series who do not desires juggle with exotic hypothesis or conquest high rating/different public.this virtue - precision of details for each lead character. not analysis but only good points. a traditional history lesson. nothing more. so, a real good movie. if you do not ignore its basic purpose - to tell, in honest manner, a well - known story.
