This was a unique and compelling view of one of the most pivotal days in history as told by people who are still alive to remember it. From the co worker at the school book depository who noticed Lees "curtain rods" to the couple just feet away from "the place where it happened" and of course Clint Hill who is haunted by being just a bit too slow to protect the president from the head shot that ultimately killed him. These people are all haunted by the events of 60 years ago, and it amazes me to think that witnesses to the event are dying off , soon to be but a memory.
There was no time spent on conspiracy theories and I have finally come full circle and agree with the findings. Lee acted alone. Why no one from FBI was monitoring threats from above we must remember that we were innocent and naive to think someone would have the audacity to kill a president. I have been to Dealey Plaza and the 6th floor of the TSBD to see how very small the space is and look out the window to the street below. I have also stood on the pedestal Abraham Zapruder filmed the murder from only 30 feet away....so very unsettling.
The colorization was done with a light touch but still not necessary for Lees execution at the hands of Jack Ruby. I hadn't realized he was hanging out there with everyone else at police Dept, almost looking for a chance to do it earlier. Also they kept showing yellow roses in back of presidential limo....are you kidding me? Jackie was given yellow rose of Texas in earlier appearances but at Love field she was given red roses. Sadly these were strewn across the back seat along with the presidents blood and brain matter and remain a powerful image to this day. I do hope Clint Hill and the rest find peace in their remaining years and understand their place in history as we all wish we could turn back time and check those curtain rods in back seat, or jump on back of limo a split second earlier. Stephen King certainly tried to imagine (though ending of that story really disastrous) so that is where it leaves us 60 years on.
