    This movie should be watched with surround sound or some theater-like sound. After the cuban guy says "Suppose Kennedy don't run in 64", when lowers his face there's a low bass explosion-like sound that should give you goosebumps.

      Suggesting that he was the one who was going to assassinate Kennedy? Well, he should know this, Kennedy is beloved in America.
      Okay, there was a good chance that had Johnson succeeded Kennedy in such an event, he'd probably fail to capture the nation's attention and affection that they wouldn't grace him with reelection. But there's an equally good chance Johnson would actually pull it off.

It's a great SCENE!! The setting is dark, the music is ominous, and the acting is superb!! I love it when we get good directors, who know how to show drama on a screen, without telling you what to THINK, or using special EFFECTS to try to wow you..the great directors like , Scorsese, stone, Tarantino. Are so taking for granted, the movies today , for the most part are shit, commercial ads, with a lot of candy on the screen!!! This was a GREAT FILM!

      I’m not so sure. There were a couple of scandals simmering - LBJ and the TFX fighter plane contract. JFK’s popularity declined steadily during 1963. We don’t know for sure what JFK would have done about Vietnam, especially during an election year. He was paranoid about being a democrat and losing Vietnam. If word had gotten out about the secret deal to remove Jupiter missiles from Turkey to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis, it would have been damaging. Had JFK been able to get the 1964 Civil Rights Bill passed, he would lose the same states LBJ did and if LBJ had to be dropped from the ticket, Texas as well. If JFK was not assassinated, it’s possible a more electable republican nominee would have been chosen that could both win the South and more of the swing states than Goldwater did.
      It was JFK’s to lose but it was not a sure bet.

He lost because one, America was voting largely on sympathy for JFK, and two, his ideas were a bit extreme at the time - it wasn't until ten years later they realized he was right.
      I mean Johnson was a good campaigner, his daisy ad evoked enough reaction to get out the vote. But it's not like Goldwater had any campaign juice.

      Except Nixon WAS a monster. He colluded with the S Vietnamese government to sabotage the 1968 peace talks. LBJ thought what he did was litterally treason. The Vietnam War could have been over 6 years earlier and thousands of lives spared. But Nixon thought he could beat the North. In the end they signed almost the same treaty. 21,000 American GI’s died in that time period, not to mention the toll in Vietnamese lives.
      He also lied to the families of American airmen killed in Vietnam by telling them they were MIA. Over 2,000 by the end of the war were on the books as MIA when the military knew they were dead. Nixon started the hoax that Vietnam wouldn’t give them back to get reellected in 1972. And now that black flag flies all over the nation, an ignorant reminder of Nixon’s duplicity.

      In 1960s era? Dozen of millions. Perhaps more. But Nixon was right. JFK was too popular. People loved him. He would won second term in 64 no problem. By the year of 63 JFK was basically a hero who stopped Communists. None money in the world could change that.
      So they had to kill him.

      This is a gross misunderstanding. The debate in his administration was about whether to keep troops in or withdraw them AFTER they had defeated the Vietcong, the idea of withdrawing while that was going on was never a consideration. Just whether to keep troops there, like in Germany and Italy and Japan and South Korea, or withdraw AFTER victory.

    Nixon's excuse is that he was in Dallas "on business" during ths JFK assassination, but then again, if you have friends and connections in business, you can arrange that sort of thing, if you really just want to be in Dallas to enjoy the festivities.
    Nixon "forgot" being in Dallas, and changed his story a number of times. I'm 72, and still remember vividly where I was in 6th grade class, when JFK was assassinated.
