[quote=Jim DiEugenio]I think what Joe is trying to say is this: Why is it that when Oliver Stone makes a movie about the JFK case he gets murdered?
Even though his film is much more factual than this movie and the book its based upon.
[...]
Oliver knew exactly what was the matter with his script/film JFK. And cared not, thank god! I don't recall anyone asking Stone to create a "historical accurate" piece. Impossible at the very least. No difference re the Irishman.
If DiNiro stars in it, give it a go, you'll learn something.
Stone put together a pretty good cast of characters in JFK the movie. They certainly created an info firestorm. Look what happened. The Irishman will not equal JFK in interest but it opens dialog.
Let the documentarians worry about the "facts." I like a good story, I'll sort it out myself later, if I so choose!
