CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) meets with a mysterious man called X (Donald Sutherland), who gives him confidential information about President Kennedy's assassination.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The November 22, 1963, assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy shocked the nation and the world. The brisk investigation of that murder conducted under the guidance of Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren distressed many observers, even though subsequent careful investigations have been unable to find much fault with the conclusions his commission drew, the central one of which was that the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone. Instead of satisfying the public, one result of the Warren Commission Report was that an unimaginable number of plausible conspiracy theories were bruited about, and these have supported a sizeable publishing mini-industry ever since. In making this movie, director Oliver Stone had his pick of supposed or real investigative flaws to draw from and has constructed what some reviewers felt was one of the most compelling (and controversial) political detective thrillers ever to emerge from American cinema. Long before filming was completed, Stone was fending off heated accusations of artistic and historical irresponsibility, and these only intensified after the film was released. In the story, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) is convinced that there are some big flaws in the investigation of Oswald (Gary Oldman), and he sets out to recreate the events leading up to the assassination. Along the way, he stumbles across evidence that a great many people had reason to want to see the president killed, and he is convinced that some of them worked in concert to frame Oswald as the killer. Among the suspects are Lyndon Baines Johnson (the next president), the CIA, J. Edgar Hoover, and the Mafia. Over the course of gathering what he believes to be evidence of a conspiracy, Garrison unveils some of the grittier aspects of New Orleans society, focusing on the shady activities of local businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones). Garrison's investigations culminate in his conducting a show trial that he knows he will lose and which he is sure will ruin his career in order to get his evidence into the public record where it can't be buried again. This movie won two of the many Academy Awards for which it was nominated: one for Best Photography (Robert Richardson) and the other for Editing (Joe Hutshing).

Who else is here the day Donald Sutherland passed away just to watch this scene? My absolute favorite role he ever played. A very melancholy RIP Donald Sutherland!
It’s why I’m here. He absolutely made this film great
Stole the film (along w john candy) in 5 minutes. He'll be missed. Fantastic actor
RIP Donald.
I am.....
Showing this scene to my mother in law whose not seen this...she's a fan from his MASH role
Donald Sutherland said in an interview that he spent 3 months working on this scene. He and his wife would walk around a park while he recited the monologue, and she'd purposely interrupt him with questions to throw him off and test him. Eventually nothing she did could phase him or rattle his memory, and he knew he was ready. When it came time to shoot this scene, they knocked it out in a single afternoon.
It’s a long piece of art. He performed it beautifully.
That a great woman. A man finding one of these is a paradox in the universe.
@@vinniethegooch7830 Ever tell that to your mother?
So good
This pivotal scene was perfectly delivered by Donald Sutherland: seamless and compelling. He deserved an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this performance.
When I heard Donald Sutherland passed this is the scene that came to mind first. This was so iconic. Rest in Peace.
Mine was, "It's the things we love most that destory us."
This one and his performance in Backdraft
Yes!!
Me too. Such a great performance.
Sutherland was so excellent in this small, dialogue-heavy scene. RIP to a terrific actor.
He will be missed
Should’ve been nominated for an Oscar for this performance.
I agree
No Way, great acting here, however one scene doesn't equal an Oscar
The end of bodysnatchers
Came to watch this scene after finding out Donald Sutherland passed away today. Perhaps the best scene of the movie.
R.I.P. Donald Sutherland (1935 - 2024)
“He could not be allowed to stay alive” this movie, this scene was in many ways, incredible. Chills.
Same with a lot of people. Malcolm X, MLK, Bobby, etc
@@user-otzlixr He is not so much attesting the truth of it, as admiring the exposition by Donald Sutherland in this scene.
@@user-otzlixr Unless another meaning should be expressed, your view is merely an assumption.
Yep...CIA and mob killed JFK..and i still say the kill shot came from the gutter.
@@user-otzlixr Who knows what those "many ways" are? How do you infer? It could be Donald Sutherland's exposition, the musical score, the colours (one of the top comments here has the whole replies section discussing the excellent colours of the movies from the 90s), the chill-inducing dialogues, the sense of a mystery being unravelled, and kindred other things.
It takes an especially curmudgeonly mind to read a harmless comment like that and immediately infer unswerving belief in anything that departs from the official stance.
Sutherland manages to steal a 3 hour movie FULL of A-List actors in just 1 scene. Brilliant performance!
A corpse could steal a scene opposite Costner..
How is his acting in this brilliant? It is the content that is chilling. Sutherland has had better acting scenes than this.He is great but come on.
@@m.e.d.7997 He sold it as only a few could of.
@@tomacosta85 Maybe so.
@@m.e.d.7997 where did they say it was his performance? The comment was that it was the best performance in the film.
This is one of the great scenes in Motion Picture History. Donald Sutherland is utterly brilliant in this scene.
this scene wrapped up the whole movie in these 5 minutes
Sutherland fucking kills this shit. This is acting on the highest level possible.
It really does - much more than the LBJ connection people talk about the film making. Run the scene from 3 minutes to the end more or less backwards and it asks and answers a question.
Let's not forget the sources, those who provided the information. Sutherland's character was invented so they could tell the real story.
sorellman actually Donald Sutherland character is a real person from the Military, Actual Facts.
RIP, Donald Sutherland. He'll be remembered for many roles but THIS..THIS. Brilliance is a term thrown around so much that it's meaningless now.
This is brilliant acting
How great is that small detail that Garrison can’t open his pen? It gives me such anxiety that he is going to forget what X is telling him.
Donald Sutherland's cameo appearance in "JFK" was so good, he should have been nominated for an Oscar.
... and won.
Honest Person should of won
I agree he should have been nominated. I feel the reason he was not considered is because the academy felt he had too little screen time.
WIDLEY1000
Brilliant comment sir. What did he do after? Drink a little wine? Eat a little cheese? Take in a few rays?
He was also incredible in Ordinary People.
At the end of the day, an award isn’t everything.
Doing a great job in your craft is an award in itself; whether you’re making movies, writing poems, cooking a stew, or cleaning the streets: whether you’re known to many or known to few; be you.
Sutherland is a total boss in this film.
A Time to kill
I Agree 100%
He is a boss in EVERY film
I wonder what keifer is gonna look like when he hits his dads age lol
Too many negative waves... :P
Donald Sutherland was a huge actor. This is my favorite role of his, I remember watching this movie in the theater more than 30 years ago, I was blown away. He stole a three-hour mind-blowing movie full of A-listers just with this scene.
And he had such a long and brilliant career, he was such a familiar face for decades, it was always a pleasure to see him in a movie. I feel like I've lost a friend I've known for ages. 💔😞
May you rest in heaven Mr Sutherland and thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Sincerest condolences to your loved ones.
🕊️🕊️🕊️ 🕯️🕯️🕯️
Donald Sutherland is just absolutely INCREDIBLE. Took over an entire 3 hour movie in a matter of minutes. It doesn't get any better than Donald Sutherland. This is acting taken to another level entirely.
This is one of those movies where you feel like everyone understands the assignment and shows up with their A-game. Kevin Costner's never been better, Joe Pesci is excellent as always and John Candy is mesmerizing while playing against type
John candy played dean Andreas to perfection if seen him in real life! But 2 great Canadian actors.
John Williams score alone is the most scariest part of this scene. John Williams is a legend.
I love a LOT of John Williams's lesser known scores, where it seems he taking creative risks and succeeding brilliantly.
Without the music this movie would be dull. With it .. goosebumps.
It kind of reminds me of his work from Jurassic Park.
From the scene when Nedry is stealing the dinosaur embryos
Very mysterious and clandestine
@@billlozier5551 I wouldn't go quite that far. The music is fantastic and perfectly haunting,but when you have a Coup and see all the endless lies and garbage we are supposed to swallow, since JFK was shot from the right front...well..it ain't dull.
@@vernpascal1531 nice point. I'm just saying the music is so emotionally beautiful and on target...no pun intended.
This scene is the reason why I dug myself deep in the JFK rabbit hole. RIP, Donald.
RIP Donald Sutherland.
This was the first scene I thought of upon hearing the news.
Same!
Had to come here after I heard the news of his passing. RIP Donald Sutherland, you had a small scene but it was the one that I love the most.
80s and 90s films have a certain aesthetic to them that makes them a joy to watch over and ever. No modern film looks this good.
100% agree. Some of that is the actual film that they filmed on, digital just isn't the same. But in addition to that, filmmakers of this period had more finesse and skill because of their limitations. In the digital and CGI age, modern directors can make anything they want to see happen to any extent. So we end up with shallow, glossy movies that lack the mastery of 20th century directors.
@@SefniAsheforr Modern movies also have the yellow tinge or cyan tinge. Any film 1999 or older used natural colors.
For example, in _The Firm,_ Tom Cruise meets someone on a bench similar to this scene. It's during the winter and the landscape is covered in brilliant white snow.
Modern films use a "cooling filter" to give everything a bluish tint, which looks unnatural.
@@SefniAsheforr couldn't say it any better
Even directors shooting on film and vintage glass today aren’t getting the same look.
@@theamuseum4692 Perhaps I have a trained eye, but I've noticed a considerable improvement on two recent films that were deliberately shot on film:
*The Force Awakens* (Abrams chose to shoot on film to approximate the look of Return of the Jedi). Compare this to The Last Jedi, which was shot digitally and used god awful color grading that made it difficult to look at.
*Baby Driver* Again, the director deliberately chose to shoot on film and insisted on practical FX rather than CGI. A few shots were enhanced with CG, but all the car stunts were practical. The result is a far more visually enjoyable film.
Don't get me wrong; shooting on digital can work (Stranger Things, Cowboy Bebop, Chicago Fire), but in the last 15 years they have botched the color correction in post.
What makes Sutherland so good here is he thoroughly knows his lines and it's a complicated story he is getting out. He spent some serious time memorizing and rehearsing. The payoff.....impressive.
He makes it feel natural. It is a lot of info but you feel like he lived it and finally has someone to tell it all to.
I remember seeing this scene and being very impressed. Sutherland definitely killed it here. He must have spent much, much time memorizing all those lines like that. Extremely well done. Should have been nominated as a best Supporting Actor for sure in my book.
There are "cue cards" that are being held by the filming crew, that enable actors to remember lines of the script.
Donald Sutherland is a awesome actor.
How do you know?
RIP to Donald Sutherland. A truly great actor who stole this movie with just one scene.
RIP Donald Sutherland. You made this film and every other movie great.
This is the only film as an adult that gives me nightmares
Agreed.
JFK Assassination Records Disclosure Thursday, October 26 at 6 PM
blackman26 that's truth ! Any time I watch a clip I immediately get a feeling of unease ...
The chills.
blackman26 I know!
What you believe humans are good?
This scene along with Joe Pesci as an extremely stressed out Ferry with Garrison and his staff in that hotel room were the highlights of JFK. Joe Pesci and Donald Sutherland were outstanding in this movie.
John Candy
So was Tommy Lee Jones as Clay Shaw.
Mr. Sutherland gave a mesmerizing performance here. Condolences to his family.
"Why was Kennedy killed, who benefited, and who has the power to cover it up???"...powerful scene, Sutherland was just plain brilliant from the beginning to the end
A garbage scene, depicting a person that never existed, spouting dialogue that was never said, during a meeting that never happened. Oliver Stone has acknowledged making up the whole thing. Raise your standards a little, friend.
@@cardinalRG calm down, we know that it's fiction, it's Hollywood, and nobody said it was real, however, the dialog in that scene does make a person put on his tin foil hat
@@NateInDC - _“...nobody said it was real”_
No, many people have said that it is, including in these TH-cam comments sections. If I mistook you for one of them, it’s because I can’t imagine someone regarding as “powerful” a scene that emblemizes Oliver Stone’s fetish for inventing history and then rationalizing it with his junk “spirit of the truth” concept. I think it’s a stroke job, no matter how well it might be acted.
ok my child@@cardinalRG
@@cardinalRG Mr. X is supposed to be Col. Fletcher Prouty. He wrote the book "The CIA,Vietnam, and the plot to assassinate JFK" that book was what prompted Oliver Stone to make this movie. He put this scene in, knowing it wasn't accurate, because he wanted Proutys input to be in the movie. This scene is more of a monolog than anything
Absolutely riveting scene. The way this information was spilling out of Sutherland in rapid fire like that as if he had been waiting a long time to share it. Brilliantly done.
He did wait a long time to say what many patriotic Hollywood people knew to be true.
@@letitrest4662 Voted for Joe Biden I',m Sure.
Well said..
This scene sticks more than any other scene in this movie. It's simple yet brilliantly executed. 28 years later and I'm awestruck by this. This is filmmaking at its finest.
Except it isn't real. Stone has said her made up Sutherland's character and Garrison never had a meeting with anyone like this.
@@timshea4279
Sutherland's character was Col. Fletcher Prouty who Garrison corresponded with at length. It was that correspondence that was represented as a "meeting."
The film making is great for sure. What I like even more is the government being exposed for what it truly was and still is. The difference now is no presidents have been brave enough to call a spade a spade. Who can blame them??..JFK and his brother Robert wanted to change things and they were killed for it. Democracy?? We are still far away from such political ideals despite how much our country touts it as much!
@@timshea4279 But what his character said was true.
and acting at its finest. only Donald Sutherland could have done this scene so convincingly and naturally.
One of the best performances in the history of Hollywood
Rip to the goat
RIP. My favorite scene with Donald Sutherland ever!
Donald Sutherland Should Had Won a Academy Award For Supporting Actor.
This Was One of The Most Powerful Scenes In Movie History.
' heard your interview with Pamela Ray, fantastic, keep up the good work!
mezchr Thank You So Very Much For Your Kind Words and Beautiful Support.
I Really Appreciate What You Said It Meant So Much!!!!!!
We are planning to have Ms. Ray Back On Again For Part 2.
Both Morgan Freeman and Donald Sutherland could read a phone book to me, and it be exhilarating.
mylobage they both appeared together in Outbreak (1995). Great movie, needless to say.
James Coburn. The only voice I've been jealous of, and wish that I had... and my voice is plenty deep. Coburn's was on another level masculine: clear but throaty, deep, loud, and piercing. Wonderful voice, he had.
Yea Donald even makes you listen to all the words in that Simply Orange juice commercial
I'd have to add James Earl Jones to that list. Maybe Jimmy Stewart...
Cant stand morgan freeman,samuel hell jackson,will smith and 5 others. Donald Sutherland is amzing in this,always have liked his work and His son's singing/country-rock group is awesome too.
Man gave an Oscar worthy performance in five minutes of a three hour movie. RIP
Just heard the news about Donald Sutherland and had to watch this scene again. Some of his finest work.
Rest in peace, sir.
me too, simply mazing moment in movie history
One of the best dialog filled scenes I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant. Sutherland was perfect
Donald Sutherland produces a *masterclass of exceptional acting* in less than 5 minutes that puts most actors today to shame.
RIP to an absolute legend. Had to watch this scene when I heard the news.
First comment acknowledging his passing here. Indeed. 🙏🩷
Once you understand Col L. Fletcher Prouty was Mr.X. This is absolutely 100% on point. Powerful scene.
If anyone was the "M.I. complex" candidate in the '60 election it was JFK. During the '60 campaign Kennedy, as a primary plank, accused the Eisenhower administration of allowing a "missile gap" with the USSR, sighting the Gaither Committee report. IKE knew findings in the report were completely wrong (and thought some witnesses to the committee dishonest) because he had intel. from U-2 spy plane flights. The Gaither Committee was one reason he made the farewell warning speech
I thought the same thing when I saw the scene and if you listen closely, Sutherland tries to sound like Colonel Prouty
Fletcher Prouty's credentials are suspect. He's not a credible source and therefore all of his claims are without merit.
I’ve got George HW Bush from the storm drain under the grassy knoll.
@@trapperjohn6089 pretty swampy eh!

@@kimberlytherese4403 🤪
Chilling, ain't it?
It's all spelled out there, right?
This scene is so good it's like you're getting an entire history lesson in 4 1/2 minutes.
If you watch the full scene which is around 20 mins. It’s an even bigger history lesson.
Except Oliver Stone fabricated the entire thing.
@@imahorsefaceddipshit5300 Believing what the government gave the american people that day is a bigger conspiracy theory than this movie.
This is actually a 17-minute scene for which Sutherland should have won supporting actor
Jeffery Pullin So was the Warren report lol.
Re-seeing this again on reading about Donald's death. This is Mum's favourite film and scene. Thank you Mom for letting me know of this wonderful piece of cinema history.
Two words: Donald Sutherland. This scene is like music: You know every beat, every lines, where its gonna land. And yet, you play it over and over again. Top 40.
Top 40? If you've watched 4000 movies it's still just the top 1% lol
Top 10
Two words: Fletcher Prouty.
The stand down of any Security Services is as old as history. I think the Roman Empire were the originators.
Bro said top 40 🤣🤣🤣
Sutherland believes what he's saying. Thats why the performance is so good. He believes.
.....and that's because it's true--or very close to it.

Donald Sutherland got the opportunity to play what may be the best cameo/supporting part of any movie in history. He was so damn good in this scene. Had me on the edge of my seat.
Along with one of the best dialogs BUT the scary part is, there's actual TRUTH to it and makes you think
Donald Sutherland passed away yesterday at age 88. Some of his best work was in these little cameos that just knock it out of the park RIP Donald
"I can't believe they killed him because he wanted to change things".....Truer words have never been spoken. People today don't realize for two decades this is what "They" did. Jack and Bobby Kennedy, King, Malcolm X, Wallace, Medger Evers, the list goes on.
And ruined Ted Kennedy. Ted who was almost killed in a plane crash were everyone else died.
Cointel Pro is now used on all kinds of citizens aka targeted individuals. You don't even have to be a dissident or someone 'special.' When people talk about organized stalking, they are talking about the criminal program run by the elites and deep state. They are the mob and thugs. We need a new Church Committee and checks and balances because they are even more out of control than ever. Now domestic terrorism and treason is happening right under everyone's noses and they call it a 'delusion' for laughs. They killed JFK because he wanted to rid the country of secret societies and nefarious CIA crimes and human rights abuses. If you talk about it, nobody cares and calls you a 'conspiracy theorist'. Yet we are still talking about who killed Kennedy??? Hello? Is everyone blind? The 'conspiracy theorists' are almost ALWAYS right.
Never...
@@monotech20.14 Ted Kennedy ruined himself. He didn't need any help.

Yes plus that party "meeting of the minds"

This IS the BEST scene from the whole movie. If you look at the pics on that day, you'll see how true it is!! Future generations DON'T STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!! Keep it alive until somewhere, somehow and someone will FINALLY tell us the truth. JFK deserves his truth to be told, he LOVED our country. Give him the respect he deserves❤❤❤
Best scene in the movie. Very Rare for a scene to have your mind Racing at 100mph.
The scene featured a person who never existed (“Mr. X”) uttering dialogue that was never spoken, in a meeting that never took place, all filmed by a writer/director who admitted he made the whole thing up. If that’s the movie’s best scene, then it doesn’t speak well for the rest of that cinematic train wreck.
The editing in this movie is unreal especially considering this was only early 1990s technology.

@@MsJbird2 Excellent also especially for the 30s.

For some reason I put off watching this movie for 30 years, but now I'm kinda glad I did. It's more relevant to me in 2021 than it would've been back then.
Who benefits today selling out America to the ChiComs and who does the Globalist Establishment aim to stop at all costs? How many attempts did they fail between 2016 - w2020?
@@IronHorsey3 ....bingo, it's almost EXACTLY what I said out loud having watched this scene now in present day.
Eric Williamson - saw this in the movie theater with a gf back then and not an Oliver Stone then or now. But the game is waged even harder now.
Damn..I’ll bet this was amazing to be seeing for the first time in 2021..You’ve got me wishing I had waited.
I put off looking into this case until I was 37 years old. I was afraid what I might realize about "history". Since then I've studied this case , this movie captured the turmoil of the cold War and showed how extreme opposition to kennedy exploded.
The best part in this movie was John Candy's performance. He needed to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor, this was the proof.
Like many comedians he started in stand-up and then got into acting. Look at Robin Williams or Tom Hanks, they didn't just stick to one thing.
Pipe The Bimbo in Red lol
Justin Sane I totally agree. That was worthy of an Oscar performance.
John candy was very good in JFK he should have played more dramatic roles
There were so many great actors in JFK -- John Candy being one of them.
Others were Gary Oldman, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, Michael Rooker, and Sissy Spacek. All fantastic!!
RIP Donald, we will all miss you and your great works.
RIP Donald Sutherland (July 17, 1935 - June 20, 2024), aged 88
You will be remembered as a legend
Almost 30 years since this film came out and it still carries a strong social message. Donald Sutherland is brilliant as "X" - you have to seriously question everything he addresses here, particularly the security detail in Dallas during Kennedy's visit.
The character "X" was fictitious and did not exist. It was just part of Oliver Stone's conspiracy theory. Sutherland's performance was great but the person he portrayed was only in the movie.
@@MafiaKingfishNOLA
Sutherland's 'Mr.X' character was real-life Col. Fletcher Prouty who Garrison had corresponded with at length, which was represented as a meeting.
X was my uncle, Colonel Fletcher Prouty. My family has served this country in the military and govt at the highest levels since the 1600s. Sutherland played him perfectly. ps you can read his books on this, he published several. Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. look up his work
It was said that Jackie married Onassis for protection. She and her kids were surrounded by the establishment like hostages

JFK, NBK and Nixon are Oliver Stone's best for that reason

Sutherland is so good its scary. There's a lot of subtleties that make it so perfect. The tone he's speaking in, the inflection in his voice, his facial expressions, etc. So masterfully done.
RIP Donald Sutherland. This was perhaps my favourite role of his.
I met Donald Sutherland in New York. Nice guy
You mean mister x, and no, we did not saw nothing, ok?
He seems that way, low key but approachable
They're all Nice, until they beat you to the Punch on a job, then they become the Devil, to you. Its really all Perspective. Just Like Your Neighbors, family, People you do business with, colleagues, associates. Your Bro or sis's spouse, in-laws. Co-Exist My Friend. Lol, but I'm Pretty sure you're Right. He's a Nice Guy. ✌🎇

This was a groundbreaking movie. Using flashback scenes to spoon feed the viewer was brilliant.
Yes, it was a brilliant filmmaking technique
When I saw this movie it changed me I was never the same again…I know this is a movie but it made too much sense… never forget walking out of the theater into the daylight and the world had changed for me…
I had a different reaction, recognizing the movie for what it was--a hodgepodge of Oliver Stone's fearful beliefs, accommodated by a whorish Hollywood all too eager to sensationalize in return for revenue. The movie's a train wreck.
@@cardinalRG ur kidding right??? U think a lone person did this? And of course that person was killed right away before he could talk.
@@sw4841 --It depends on what you mean by "this". Feel free to clarify your question.
@@cardinalRG Lee Harvey Oswald, being lone gunman… and then Jack Ruby killed him before he could talk..
@ --Thanks for clarifying. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, Oswald alone shot the president. No, Ruby didn't kill Oswald before he could talk, in fact Oswald had been in police custody for two days before Ruby shot him. Oswald could have talked his head off during that time, and blown the lid off the conspiracy.
If this is a new movie nowadays, many would be complaining about the wall-to-wall exposition due to being brainwashed by random reviewers & essayists online who think that there are rules to storytelling.
Donald Sutherland Should've Won An Academy Award For Best Supporting Actor For his role as Mr. X - which is one of the greatest scenes in film history!
The fluid flow of the scene reveals the gifted Sutherland including Kevin Costner.
Donald Sutherland is one of my most favourite actors..The sheer characterisation with his ability to move with the emotions of the charater being portrayed is awesome..
Rest in Peace. When I think of Donald Sutherland, I think of this scene. What a great piece of work.
One of the most impactful few minutes of acting on film ever done, a precise, confident, and meticulous delivery of lines that will be remembered for a very long time, R.I.P. Mr. Sutherland.
I know, right? It just flows so fast and smooth, diction always on point, a little anger where it's felt,
Sutherland's X scene and Pesci's neurotic breakdown are two of the best movie scenes of all time!
Sutherland at his finest
I know, wonderful scene. It reveals so much.
Sutherland has done excellent work over the years. His acting stretch was not that difficult in this one. It is the content of what he is saying and the background music that seals the scene. Not that this is not a good choice for the scene . He is.
RIP! You will be missed, Sir. A fine actor and classy gentleman.
Thank you for making this movie great!! RIP Mr Sutherland
The passion of the people making this film shows so strongly in this scene, in the skill of the montage and editing, John WIlliams' propulsive score, and the driving power of Sutherland's performance. It blends beautifully, whatever one may think of the ideas.
1:11 That gives me goosebumps, truly powerful, it's that good
I can still remember the chills & tingling I felt when I first witnessed this 4:35 scene in the theatre way back in 1991 providing some info I had NEVER known before even though I was nearly 40 at that time. I think I even had a tear or 2 in my eyes because it said so very much in such a short time. A riveting masterpiece of film making nearly 3 hours long and when it ended I wanted still more
RIP Mr Sutherland....truly one of the modern acting greats...steals every scene hes in...adds gravitas every time...
This is still one of the most impressive scenes I can remember from all the films I’ve watched over the years.
This Oliver Stone film was a Masterpiece.Period.
God Bless Jim Garrison, Jim Marrs, Oliver Stone, and John F Kennedy
Don't forget Mark Lane
Don’t forget jack Rubinstein
And Fletcher Prouty.
RIP legend
Allen Dulles was fired by Kennedy over "The Bay of Pigs." But was appointment to investigate his murder. There are many sources on this, including he was selected to investigate JFK's murder, but by who.
Let that sink in!
BTW, there are two Dulles brothers.
The entire scene with Mr. X (Donald Sutherland) was the absolute best scene in the entire movie. More was said in that entire dialogue than mot people will hear and then ponder in 20 years of their lives. Approaching 60 years later, it's still "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma."
Pfft, typical Hollywood bullshit. Get a white guy to play Malcolm X. Plus, Malcolm would’ve thought of a better alias than “X”.
Sutherland owned this scene. I remember watching this when I was a teenager thinking, "Damn ! This guy is good"
RIP
