arjunflamingfeather Assassination attempts on the Kennedy Case have been mulled over and recreated to the point at which conspiracy theories remain. Conspiracy like the John F. Kennedy assassination by 'no one' is an instance where democracy did not prevail; limelight reporting sites no human activity with a gun. Sniper Shot that is brutal to see and not for children bellow a certain age but like then attempts are still being made; 'Mushraf' the ex-president of Pakistan who had military control and had no democracy wrote in his memoir that twice he escaped suicide attacks that nearly lead to his demise: in an armored vehicle, attacked on the route.
Nelson Strang Unbelievably dull. Natalie Portman's "authentic" accent is so incomprehensible that we couldn't work out what she was mumbling. Truly a Marlon Brando for our age. So glad we missed this at the cinema. Gave up watching after about 20-30 minutes. First time that's happened in years - we usually stick with a film to the end, but this one was just unbearable and, frankly, life is too short.
jasontheterrible Most politicos in DC knew Jack Ruby was the wet worker for LBJ. Even Nixon was quoted as saying after hearing Ruby killed Oswald "Ruby? That's Johnson's guy in Dallas." This film hints that Jackie knew as well. When confronted by Lady Bird who coldly told her with a smile to put on a happy face when she got off the plane right after the assassination. Jackie replied that she wanted to show them her pain to let them know what "they" had done. LBJ then opened the borders, gave civil rights to drug dealers, split up families with welfare incentives and pushed every agenda the communists had. He was all in. This film was terrible in the beginning because they made her look too different from JK but then she grew on me. Portman's acting was excellent and she had the inflection and accent down very well. Kennedy was too conservative and a law and order guy, unlike the far left who wanted to incite race and class warfare at every level. LBJ was there guy all the way.
mirkobozic I really thought Portman reached the tip of her acting toes with Black Swan, until I saw "Jackie". The bad thing about biopics nowadays is that they tend to encompass someone's whole biography, whereas this one ceoncentrates merely on the episode during and immediately after JFK's assasination in Dallas. The portrayal of the Jackie is unique because it evolves into a trifold story of a first lady, a wife and a woman. The director succeeds in giving each one of them enough space, and along the way pulls down a part of the usual glamourous facade exposing Jackie as a character shattered by her trauma, drowning her insecurities in alcohol. Unfortunately, the film got much less attention than it deserves. I enjoyed it immensely.
