The initial impression I had of LBJ wasn't favorable to say the least...a conniving snake in the grass; lowlife lying coward; and brother in arms with the likes of Judas and Benedict Arnold.... I've grown since to accept though that like any of us he is only human after all, with his good points and flaws like anyone else, but to make a movie about him IMHO only serves to stray away from what really happened that awful day.
While the world is kept busy romanticizing these historical figures instead of addressing why we haven't been told the truth due to national security; addressing why a supposed loner Oswald drew a salary from multiple alphabet agencies;, etc., more and more time passes with us getting no closer to the truth than the next potential movie (The Lady in Pink, the Untold Story of a Former First Lady's Worst Nightmare, yada, yada, yada etc.,). It's way past time that we simply admit the truth, seek closure, heal the nation and move on rather than pretend a man out front w/Bill Shelley is guilty of even seeing a rifle that day, let alone fire one.
