"Interview with the Assassin"

[mike martinez]

Just finished watching it. Highly recommend it.First time post. Been interested in the JFK assassination since my late teens, now 42. Have visited Dealey plaza on three or four occassions. At first was an absolute conspiracy theorist but now not so sure.I think it is possible for a grassy knoll shooter but a shooter from the pergola is impossible in my opinion. That whole area is so small.Been visiting this site for a couple years now and will start posting my opinions more in the future.

Great! Why do you recommend "Interview with the Assassin"? Isn't it funny, how contrived, incincere and fake the acted "authenticity" of the protagonistis in this movie is?http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi145686809/Isn't it sad that the media mixes truth and fiction more and more and withdrawes our concentration from the real thing towards the fiction and reinterpretated things? Or do you think, it's good to point to the real thing by the method of fiction to reach the masses?

Welcome MikeI think someone watched James Files then made a movie changing things enough so as to stay out of trouble.wonder why it is acceptable to show fiction but not the real thing of course that is a Blockbuster video and so was Files rriginal.if there wete as many shooters there as Andries says they would have had to get a permit to have a parade

First and foremost, the movie is well done. It is a documentary type film, ala "Blair Witch Project". What I mean by that is that it is not a hollywood movie. There are imperfections in the movie that are intentional that give it the impression it is real. Chilling.It's only 1 hr 20 minutes long so it doesn't drag out too, which is good. Setting aside the JFK angle, it you like those types of movies I recommend it. It definately has a James Files angle, intentional or not.Dealey Joe,Funny line about getting a parade permit. I tend to agree. Here is my take in a nutshell:Six floor shooter or shooters, not Oswald. Mac Wallace?? Oswald was a patsy.Black dog man? No way that is a shooter. If you've ever been to Dealey plaza it is an impossibility. Way too out in the open.Pergola shooter where some shells were found. No way. Same explanation as black dog man.Dal-Tx building? I suppose its possible. But shooting from just outside a fire escape on the what 2nd or 3rd floor? with people all around. Very difficult in my humble opinion.There are lots of peddlers at DP which I avoid. But there is one black gentlement there in particular "Mike" who sets up shop at the top of the stairs on the knoll. He is great, extremely knowledgeable. I think there used to be a short interview of him on this site. He has the perfect documentary voice is there is ever one made that is "pro conspiracy".

Very difficult in my humble opinion.Check out this analysis by Bob Harris, on where exactly in the Dal-tex a shooter might have been?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkAc76n8q44

He is my problem with it and what I call the "Jim Garrison" approach.Part 1 @ approx the 7:25 minute mark: "part of the window has been broken out".. really?? because it sure doesn't look obvious to me..Part 2 @ approx the 2:00 minute mark: "not much doubt its a grimace rather than a smile".. again, just stating things as fact when it is pure speculation.does the video seem plausible, absolutely. I just hate when opinions are stated as fact when they are not.My pet peeve on this site is when showing photos of faces in the crowd that day then the following statement "its obvious that is so and so"..

[Dealey Joe]

Mike that is one of the main problems.we have very few actual facts
