Title: JFK Assassination Fiction
Post by: Jon Banks on October 03, 2018, 01:55:22 AM
How about a lighter topic for a change?  8)

What fictional work based on the JFK assassination do you think is the best?

Has any Assassination inspired Fiction influenced your views of the event?

My favorite is the novel "Libra". It humanizes Lee Harvey Oswald in some ways and paints a plausible conspiratorial narrative.

I'll second that..... :D    The Warren Report is the source of all the other fiction in this case....

Best fictional work not written yet. I have started to write it but still cannot find the right way to develop it and publish.

Do you want to share a summary of your project? It?s fine if the answer is No

Actually, you will find the Warren Commission in the Non-Fiction section. In every library in the world that has it. Except for North Korea and Cuba. But just because you believe the vast majority of the libraries in the world and the vast majority of the librarians of the world, are in on the conspiracy, does not mean that you believe in a Large-Secret-Enduring Conspiracy. Like the believers in the Moon Landing Hoax or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The Warren Commish option was intended as a joke.

"Assassination" in Dallas was a staged event, JFK did not die on 11/22/63.
Now, do not ask for details since it would lead your topic to a wrong discusion.

Glad to see you finally admit your theory is fiction.

Well, every theory here seems to be fiction. Some theories are more some are less fiction and we will never reach full truth without any fiction. In this moment, I think I am missing some 30% truth in my theory which I have to make fiction.

No "Executive Action", I have seen it. I don't know if it is at youtube. It's been awhile, I did not absorb it well at the time.

It shouldn't be a joke as the WC failed to support the vast number of their claims with evidence in the twenty-six volumes, thus, it is a work of unsupported claims (i.e. a work of fiction).

"Arlington Road" isn't about the JFK assassination, but it perfectly shows how easy it is to set someone up as a "lone nut".

There are a number of movies out there but some are not directly about the assassination mechanics themselves.

"Fatal Deception: Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald" with Frank Whaley, he's in JFK as well as one of the LHO doubles in the conspiracy theories.

(https://www.themoviescene.co.uk/reviews/_img/5593-3.jpg)

I might have seen it, there is also I believe it is called "Love Field" about the couple that travels to DC...but it is only about the way life was in America that day.

?Ruby? with Danny Aiello as Jack Ruby was an okay movie too

I almost forgot about that movie.

Did ?Executive Action? influence your views in any way?

No, I did not really absorb it. I would have to see it again. It was too vague for me at the time.

Oliver Stone?s ?JFK? remains one of the best political thrillers ever IMO.

As an aside, Whaley played a wimp in Tarantino's Pulp Fiction




And some have called The AmericanTrap (the Dallas-Montreal thing) the most compelling.

It's a pity Marr's 'Crossfire' wasn't an option. That is the biggest lie surrounding the case. Not just a lie though; it was imo an intentional series of lies which makes it a shameful disgrace.

'The virtue of this volume is its comprehensiveness. Marrs seems never to have met a crackpot witness he didn't believe nor run across a conspiracy factoid he didn't accept. You'll get the full case for "conspiracy" here, the good, the bad, and the downright wacky.'

"JFK and the Unspeakable" goes pretty far off the deep end into unbelievable conspiracy theories.

Executive Action was my introduction into the JFK assassination stuff. Should be on the list.

I guess it must be true if McAdams said it.
