Showing this scene to my mother in law whose not seen this...she's a fan from his MASH role

Donald Sutherland said in an interview that he spent 3 months working on this scene. He and his wife would walk around a park while he recited the monologue, and she'd purposely interrupt him with questions to throw him off and test him. Eventually nothing she did could phase him or rattle his memory, and he knew he was ready. When it came time to shoot this scene, they knocked it out in a single afternoon.

But in addition to that, filmmakers of this period had more finesse and skill because of their limitations.

Compare this to The Last Jedi, which was shot digitally and used god awful color grading that made it difficult to look at. *Baby Driver* Again, the director deliberately chose to shoot on film and insisted on practical FX rather than CGI. A few shots were enhanced with CG, but all the car stunts were practical. The result is a far more visually enjoyable film. Don't get me wrong; shooting on digital can work (Stranger Things, Cowboy Bebop, Chicago Fire), but in the last 15 years they have botched the color correction in post.

There were so many great actors in JFK -- John Candy being one of them. Others were Gary Oldman, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, Michael Rooker, and Sissy Spacek. All fantastic!!

Donald Sutherland got the opportunity to play what may be the best cameo/supporting part of any movie in history. He was so damn good in this scene. Had me on the edge of my seat.

The scene featured a person who never existed (“Mr. X”) uttering dialogue that was never spoken, in a meeting that never took place, all filmed by a writer/director who admitted he made the whole thing up.

I can still remember the chills & tingling I felt when I first witnessed this 4:35 scene in the theatre way back in 1991 providing some info I had NEVER known before even though I was nearly 40 at that time.

I remember the first time I saw this movie in 2000. Honestly, I have to agree that Donald Sutherland was brilliant in this 4 1/2 minutes in the middle of a 2 plus hour movie. I rented JFK on VHS and when I got to this scene, I kept playing it over and over again until I absorbed everything the x character said. I bought JFK on dvd and seen Fletcher Prouty (the real Mr. X) for the first time and heard what he had to say. Oliver Stone did an excellent job shooting this movie in the beginning and throughout but takes to many liberties. No need for composite characters or window dressing. With this story all you need is the truth because the layers are so interesting you need nothing else.

Allen Dulles was fired by Kennedy over "The Bay of Pigs." But was appointment to investigate his murder. There are many sources on this, including he was selected to investigate JFK's murder, but by who. Let that sink in! BTW, there are two Dulles brothers.

I was 8 years old when JFK was killed. My parents bought every magazine article about the assassination and I read them all. My mother even purchased a copy of the Zapruder film that was made available to the public. I was a child and willing to accept the government's conclusion that Oswald acted alone, but with each year I kept asking myself, "Why Ruby?" The government's line was Jack Ruby was just an irate citizen angry enough to take the law into his own hands because his President had been killed. Just an average citizen . . . connected to the Mob.
