I was at the first showing in my city with a friend. A local news crew was standing outside as we left the theater and talked to my friend (I said, "No thanks.").
Pretty, petite news reporter: "Do you think there was a conspiracy?'
My friend, "Yes, I do believe there was a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy."
It was the hottest of topics at the pub I frequented back in my kid-less years. The movie inspired that talk and gave us all a reason to stop and consider the place where we live.
It was at that point I became consumed with this case. It's been a wild ride, and my understanding of what happened to President Kennedy and why has been one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. And, I know before the sun sets that understanding will shift, deepen and change even more.
The assassination of President Kennedy is a crack in reality for those that have the guts to take a look. And, though Oliver Stone's film wasn't perfect, it was a spark that ignited and awakened a lot of minds to take a look into that crack.
I cannot believe it has been 20 years, but my oldest son is getting ready to turn 18, and I know it must be so.
Ain't it funny how the night moves with autumn closin' in?
