Product Description
Oliver Stone's powerful film about the mystery surrounding the Kennedy assassination is one of the most provocative movies of our time. Aside from its box-office success and critical acclaim, it was nominated for eight Academy Awardsr (including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor), winning two (Best Cinematography and Film Editing). The JFK Three-Disc UCE includes the Two-Disc Special Edition Director's Cut with 17 additional minutes not seen in theaters and the documentary Beyond JFK: A Question of Conspiracy. It also contains memorabilia from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Kennedy Foundation, including reproductions of various Kennedy-family/presidential-era photos and letters written by or to John F. Kennedy from J. Edgar Hoover, Lyndon. B. Johnson and more. Of particular distinction is the inclusion of John F. Kennedy's historic inaugural address and a handwritten letter to his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. Amazon.com Director Oliver Stone added 17 minutes of previously unseen footage for the "director's cut" edition of his hypnotic courtroom epic about the investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. That fateful day in Dallas set in motion a sequence of events that would only intensify the mystery behind Kennedy's death, causing New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) to begin an investigation that would gradually become a personal obsession. Bravura filmmaking combined with controversial treatment of historical facts and audacious speculation, this breathtaking revision of history presents a mesmerizing parade of shady figures and conspiracy theories, unfolding like a classic mystery based on history's greatest unsolved crime. A technical triumph boasting Oscar-winning cinematography and editing, Stone's film is guaranteed to grab the viewer's attention with its daring take on the JFK controversy. The stellar supporting cast includes Tommy Lee Jones, Joe Pesci, Jack Lemmon, Donald Sutherland, Sissy Spacek, Kevin Bacon, and Gary Oldman as Lee Harvey Oswald. --Jeff Shannon Actors: Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Bacon, Gary Oldman, Ed Asner Directors: Writers: Producers: |
