art of directing, Stone is able to make an audience believe whatever he wishes. In the 1991 film JFK, Oliver Stone manipulates facts in order to convey a fictional conspiracy involving the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The Zapruder film and the magic bullet theory are two facts that Stone employs to trick the audience into believing his fabricated tale.      Stone unfolds this film through the eyes of Jim Garrison, the district attorney of New Orleans, who believes that

Not All Conspiracies are Imaginary Almost as an article of faith, some individuals believe that conspiracies are either kooky fantasies or unimportant aberrations. To be sure, wacko conspiracy theories do exist. There are people who believe that the United States has been invaded by a secret United Nations army equipped with black helicopters, or that the country is secretly controlled by Jews or gays or feminists or black nationalists or communists or extraterrestrial aliens. But it does not

In certain essays, elements such as ethos, logos, and pathos are used to help convey a message to its readers. Authors use ethos to appeal to ethics, and is also a meaning to convince a reader to see the credibility of the persuader. Logos is used to appeal to logic using maps, detailed facts, and charts. Finally Pathos, which is used to show sympathy and empathy a reader feels while reading the essay. In the essay, “The CIA Planned John F. Kennedy’s Assassination,” author Steven Hager, editor of

is a creator of illusions that define a certain kind of young urban lifestyle and Antonioni's flagrant use of the loud, splashy, attention-grabbing colors of billboard advertising -- a visual association elevated to an unholy apotheosis in his next film, ZABRISKIE POINT (1970) -- brings to the surface the transient sensation and hollow artifice that lies at the heart of all pop culture consumerism. In his previous work, RED DESERT (1964), Antonioni spray-painted both the man-made décor as well as

The first of these groups is the Secret Service agents that were present in Dallas and Abraham Zapruder, the only person who filmed the assassination. Zapruder doesn’t want the film to be seen by the public, because he felt it would only make the tragedy of Kennedy’s death worse. However, he agrees to develop the film so that the Secret Service

In the 1960’s, the film industry as well as the rest of America was going through times of reform and change. The United States was facing a rise in feminism and militarism, as well as an influx in racial disparity. There was a shift in directors, who began to look towards European films such as the French New Wave and Italian filmmakers for inspiration. Bonnie and Clyde is one of few films that came out during this New Hollywood era which had started to incorporate violence, promiscuity, disillusionment

Kennedy’s assassination. Even though there is very little evidence to support a conspiracy theory, that film can convince you otherwise. So many images and scenes are manipulated to support their theory. This Docudrama just feeds more into the paranoia that some people have against the government. It is easy to believe this film if you haven’t done any other research. From beginning to end, the film evokes so much emotion. The emotion is seen through the acting, special effects, images and the music

     Hugh Grant compliments this array of actors by giving the film some classical slapstick comedy. He fits perfectly against the reserved Emma Thompson who will occasionally bring out that wide smile after one of Grant's humorous anecdotes. Grant brings just enough charisma to his character of Edward to bring a little excitement to the movie.      Although the film did not need use the blockbuster special effects of more recent movies, they satisfy
