Great review of "JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America DVD"

"This is a great DVD. It has two parts, The first part is the best and it's an hour by hour timeline of the events commencing on the morning of Nov. 22, and finishes on Nov 24 with the national funeral and Oswald's murder. It starts with what the president would have exactly seen that day - a car enters Dealy Plaza filming the road ahead while dreamlike music plays. The stark slow motion B/W footage makes it even more dreamy. We see Jackie make a grand entrance at the breakfast of chamber of commerce the morning of November 22nd, knowing it will be her last as first lady, wearing her now famous pink suit and hat. After the president makes his speech, we watch him leave for the airport that will take him to Love Field while the speaker prays for his blessing and the decisions he is faced with. Very eerie and disturbing knowing what will happen in a scant hour and a bit. In fact I find the whole breakfast disturbing, particularly The Texas Schoolboys choir singing 'The eyes of texas are upon you'. JFK watches them and the camera stays on him until the words "The eyes of Texas are upon you all the live long day, The eyes of texas are upon you You cannot get away". And, he didnt get out alive.




Just prior to arrival of the president we see footage of the presidential limo on the tarmac. Pretty eerie again I must say. We see a cheerful woman on the tarmac with a sketch (I assume she did herself) of the president and first lady. Then Airforce One touches down at Love Field to a rousing reception. I watch this hoping that something will happen differently - The Limo will leave Love Field with the bubble top attatched, the motorcade will take a different route, the SS agents will hurl themselves on the back on the limo and shield him or take the bullets, or the car will go down Elm St. and nothing will happen...The sad indictment for America, indeed the world, is JFK's legacy is not about any of his political decisions, it's about deciding which direction his brain matter flew.

----------- YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE AGENT HENRY RYBKA BESIDE JFK'S LIMO BEFORE FELLOW AGENT DON LAWTON RELIEVES HIM AND MAKES HIS INFAMOUS APPEARANCE IN THE WFAA/ ABC VIDEO! THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE CONFUSION--RYBKA DID INDEED WALK THE LIMO BRIEFLY, ONLY TO BE RELIEVED BY LAWTON, WHO WAS THEN RECALLED BY SHIFT LEADER EMORY ROBERTS
