It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie JFK but I recently re-watched it. It holds up quite well since it was made - a timespan of roughly two decades!
You have to take the movie with a few grains of salt, of course: the historic events are liberally mixed up with a lot of events that “could” have happened (or could not have happened, but so what?). Oliver Stone took a great deal of artistic license. That’s ok - because he made a great movie, regardless of whether or not it solves the mystery of “Who Shot JFK?”.
There’s a lot to be enjoyed in the film, especially if you love New Orleans. Quite a few scenes feature New Orleans locations for the filming. Back when this movie came out, that was somewhat of a novelty for me - to see my city in a major motion picture. Lately, there have been a great many other films shot here. But in ‘91, it wasn’t so common.
I happen to love the style in this movie, as well. The cars, the dress, and the furniture are all a pleasure to see. Also, Kevin Costner (playing Jim Garrison) wears some really great Shuron (Shuron Ronsir Zyl, to be exact) eyeglasses throughout the movie.
While JFK isn’t my absolute favorite “New Orleans movie”, it’s a movie I’ve enjoyed watching more than once over the years and it deserves to be appreciated not only on the level of great storytelling (and acting), but it should also be appreciated as a movie that stars the city of New Orleans.
