Jesus christ I mean it was traumatizing enough that when she watched John's head get blown to bits, but if they had her stay in the car the whole ride until they got to a safe destination/hospital...man..that's gotta put a number on you..
I don't think they had her do anything. If you love your spouse and they are hurt you can't be anywhere else now matter how bad it is. Everyone's priority was to get him and Governer Connelly straight to the hospital and not to stop the car for any reason before then.
She Jackie, was trying to make it look fixed.The whole thing was set up so jfk film was an open target.Check out the JFK movie where Don Sutherland and Kevin Costner talk. Lays whole,plan out.Unbelieveavable and scary.Read book about LBJ and his role.
I’m sure only two people knew how bad President Kennedy’s wound was: Mrs. Kennedy and the Secret Service Agent on the trunk. The driver’s eyes were forward; he knew it was bad, but couldn’t really turn around and the rear view mirror would only show Mrs. Kennedy’s face and the secret service agent. I doubt Mrs. Connelly looked, as she had her own issues with her husband who was also wounded. The secret service agent on the passenger side would not be able to see unless he stood up, but he was too busy with what to do when something like this happens. The priority was get the President to the hospital ASAP. Mrs. Kennedy would just have to,endure the horror the whole trip.
The fact that she’d lost another baby after birth just what 2 months before, then watches her husband get shot. Has to hold him on the way to the hospital and be in the room. Caked in blood, watching another man take her husbands place as President while he’s in the rear of the plane dead. THEN having to lead the nation in grief, AND keep on being a Momma. That’s one strong woman. And to love him and do everything she did for him when he passed after he cheated etc. She loved him anyway.
I couldn’t help but cry with her when she was crying, looking at the mirror. Natalie Portman’s acting is one of the best. Yes, he was a cheater and many other things but to still go through it, I cannot imagine the horror of watching her husband shot in front of her then holding his head in her lap the entire car ride. No one should ever have to go through that especially a wife, a mother in real life but it sadly happened. I hope the real Jackie is at peace with all she endured. I’m happy that she died with all of her loved ones surrounding her. Thanks for uploading.
@@aWomanFreed Invoking emotions is kinda what movies do, that's why it's called entertainment. I think we all know that Jackie did not cry in real life due to being traumatised and in deep shock, it doesn't mean Natalie Portman's acting wasn't good.
@@artemis2935 yes he cheated on her but come on now he was the father of her kids. Those kids lost their father no one deserves to loose their lives over for being a cheater .
@@aWomanFreed it may have been a movie, but it was based on ACTUAL HISTORY. JFK was SHOT in the head during a motercade in Dallas in November of 1963. Learn American History
She really did quite literally keep his head together on the drive to the hospital, and I've read that there was some agonal breathing for a while after he was shot. The E.R. surgeon who worked on him said that they brought him in, they repositioned him on the table so the surgeon could assess the wounds, and when they did that a large piece of his brain fell on the floor. They called it at that point.
What people forget is her trip to Dallas was her first official appearance after the loss of their son, Patrick, born 6 weeks early. So, in August she went into premature labor, lost her son and three months later had her husband murdered in front of her, had to tell her children their father was dead, figure out a state funeral, and then take her kids and figure out if she was going to the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, her family home, or what. All while the world stared at her every move. No wonder she married Onassis. It was the only way she could even attempt to find any peace.
After JFK’s death Jackie and Boddy Kennedy became very close, sharing their grief and him basically becoming a surrogate father to her children. It was his murder that sent her over the edge. She became obsessed with privacy and security. People are certain it’s why she married Onassis. The marriage was quick enough after losing her first husband to cause criticism, and marrying a foreigner having been married to a US President was looked down upon. But they were fond of each other, and he could easily afford all the privacy and security she could ever want. Even their wedding took place on his own private island in Greece.
first can't stand Portman but she's " Jackie Kennedy so I have to see it , I had never heard or read that she lost their child it was a miracle she had Caroline , John . I wasn't even born yet only have my mom's stories of being a teenager when this terrible tragedy occurred .on my fave sci-fi series quantum leap they did an episode about Kennedy and I never get through it have to fast forward to when the Al ( hologram ) tells him in the original history Jackie died with John . seeing John Jr saluting his father's grave is heartbreaking.
It's SO interesting how a person goes into "survival mode". In Jackie's case, her survival mode told her that if you can just stop the bleeding & "keep it all in", then he'll be fine. When, logically, there was no possible way JFK (or anyone) could've survived such a horrific injury. Something fundamentally changed in America on Nov. 22nd, 1963, & we've never been the same.
What changed was that while jfk wasn’t a saint and our savior the us realized he wanted a different America than the one they were envisioning. So what did they do they fucking assassinated him, and this did a number on America as it showed if there’s any semblance of hope for a better future that doesn’t align with what the leaders want you will just get killed. It’s happened to damn near everyone who’s tried.
Something changed not only in America but for the whole world then on. I'm quite convinced the world would be different today, as the late 60's and 70's probably wouldn't have been the same, and so on for the following decades... that's my opinion.
Jackie was literally the STRONGEST First Lady in history to deal with this so gracefully publicly. It must have really really fucked her up internally. Her sacrifices for America and each of us born and unborn at that time sent a message of how we MUST conduct ourselves in the face of tragedy and death and political upheaval. The woman of steel.
When Jackie was urged to shower and change her blood soaked clothes she declined saying ‘’ No , let them all see what they have done “. Poor woman must have been haunted by those images until her own death .
Jackie couldn't have taken them off even if she wanted to. When she finally arrived back at the White House her personal assistant Tish Baldridge had to help her take them off, as the deeply traumatised Jackie could not bring herself to touch the bloodied clothing.
Her doctor had her to cancel all of her original official first Lady duties appearance rest of the 1963 and that wouldn't be no Texas trip for JBK and she hasn't got over the loss of her baby and that was the original plan by her doctor is to cancel all of schedule official duties for rest of the 1963 so she can be fully rested. And JFK wouldn't have gone to Texas at all.
I have a friend who was Secretary to Jackie’s personal attorney. She used to see Jackie frequently. Jackie was obsessed with privacy because she was so traumatized by the murders of John and Bobby. The reason she married Aristotle Onassis was because he could protect her. Anyway she always used an alias and wore a disguise in public.
@@TheBobbybbc Protect her from anybody else who might threaten or harm her family - especially her kids. She received all sorts of threats in the years after the assassination of John and Robert Kennedy.
Smart lady. I'm surprised she didn't disappear into witness protection, but then, she probably wouldn't have done that ever....I know I wouldn't give up my life. It would feel like a 2nd killing to me. If that makes sense. I wouldn't give the bastards the satisfaction.
@@christihalliday5370 She wasn't so much scared for herself, but scared for her children. RFKs assassination was the final straw. She said "If they're killing Kennedy's, then my children are first in line." Onassis was able to give her a safe island haven and all the security money could buy. She did not love him - when Onassis passed away she only commented "He came into my life at a time when my life was filled with shadows. He meant a lot to me." But he gave her what she emotionally needed at the time, and he in turn gained the prestigious wife he craved. They both got what they wanted.
One of the things I always remember about JFK’s assassination was in the video, when you see Jackie climbing to the back of the car.. Many think she’s trying to escape.. But she was trying to grab the pieces of John’s head that blew off.. Something about that always stayed with me and makes me think.. She just witnessed her husband die horribly right in front of her and her immediate response to it wasn’t to flee, or get to a safe position… it was to put him back together..
Sigh...My fourth grade teacher's father was there when Kennedy was shot. He was filming them as they drove by and you see the moment of the fatal shot and you see her climbing out on the trunk towards the Secret Service agent. I surmised he told her to get back in, because she did as he was scaling that very long trunk. He sorta did this double hop to scale that distance. I didn't see her grab anything. Just a person going towards her Secret Service people for help.
People kept filming and taking photos because they didn't know what was happening. It happened in seconds. You don't see the pink mist, you just see his body violently jerk and fall forward. Milliseconds. It's not till people show it in slow motion that you see how horrific it is. My teacher didn't do that. I'm glad she shared it with us. I don't feel like it traumatized us because it happens very fast. We didn't see brains or anything graphic. Just the President and First Lady's reaction. God bless that woman. Can not imagine how she dealt with it all. I'm sure the doctor gave her something to help her sleep when she had time to do so. They didn't make people suffer back then.
Historical details aside, for the context of filmmaking, I will never understand how Emma Stone in La La Land beat this performance for best actress. Just astounding.
She was robbed!!! I think the fact that Natalie was heavily pregnant during awards season didn’t help! Oscars is all about a smooching and kiss ass game at the end of the day. She couldn’t “campaign” for the recognition leading up to award season. It’s a shame. Natalie deserved to win!
Jackie Kennedy was the strongest First Lady that we have ever had. To go through that horror and stand by LBj while he was sworn in was so heartbreaking. She showed such composure for her children's sake and such grace. I can't imagine what it was like for her to relive that moment over and over.
@@Jason8823 He didn't "command" her. He needed her in a sense to legitimize his authority on some level. She stood next to him because, even in her grief, she knew she was really the only one who could do that and start the long, awful work of healing the nation.
I wish instead of a mirror...she had had someone doing that for her...wiping away the blood. Telling her not to think about it, telling her it would be okay...but she was basically alone....god bless this woman and actress who portrayed it so well.
Jackie washed her own face in real life, saying afterwards that she regretted doing it - "Let them see what they have done" - but the shock and trauma had set in by the time she got back to the White House that night, and her personal assistant Tish Baldridge had to help her out of her clothes, as the deeply traumatised Jackie could not bring herself to touch them.
When you're freshly traumatized, like that nearness does not make you feel, less alone. Smh I remember the first time I saw the footage of her crawling on the moving vehicle, to retrieve a piece, of his skull. I was very hurt for both of them. It's still awful.
She was a remarkable woman. She literally held our country together with her bravery during those awful days. How she managed it is incomprehensible. Such grace and dignity. ♥️
What I love about Jackie, is that she had the guts to shoot her husband so blatantly. That makes her one of the most powerful women to have ever existed. She snuffed out the life of Jack Kennedy, setting forward the path for the rest of the misery we have known.
I've often wondered how this affected her for the rest of her life. No wife could go through that, even if they hated their husband, and not see it every night from then on. If you look at the photos of her during LBJ being sworn in soon after that, it speaks volumes for either how incredibly strong she must have been or how in total shock she was (probably both)
Jackie knew LBJ had everything to do with the murder. She also knew others were involved ( CIA). Other countries intelligence agencies told the Kennedy family that LBJ was the one responsible for it. LBJ wanted to be president so he could escape other crimes he had already committed & have full immunity.
@@saintniccage2818 that would be Joe Kennedy that made that decision. They decided because of her mental disability, it would be safer if she were kept away from men who may try to take advantage of her due to the disability & get pregnant. Then the operation that was to make her less disabled backfired due to medical incompetency so Joe Kennedy had to live with that & his wife never truly forgave him. That had nothing to do with JFK or Jackie...
@@irishrose3774 backfired? People have known full well the effects of a lobotomy for over a hundred years and they still said yes cause she was causing a scene for the family
@@saintniccage2818 the drs admitted they made a mistake during the surgery which made her condition much worse. The drs could have killed her. She's blessed to have survived the surgery & after care.
She had to know he was NEVER coming back from an injury like that. Incomprehensible. Everyone involved knew from the start. Truly incredible. Jackie was really something and I don't even know how she held herself together after that. She really lead an extraordinary life.
I think Jackie Onassis went through so much in her life. She was possibly the most glamorous first lady ever. She was actually very intellectual and got involved with publishing later in her life as well.
What Jackie went through that day was horrific. We only saw on tv, for her it was so much worse. My heart goes out to her and how well she composed herself. She was so elegant, graceful, and beautiful
I was a police officer in Louisiana for 25 years. When I was in detective division I had a sergeant who was the nephew of one of the motor officers in that motorcade. His uncle's family still has the leather jacket with skull fragments and blood from the president's head. I'm surprised the FBI never confiscated it.
To be honest, I don’t think the FBI would concern themselves with that lol not like someone could get a blood sample from the jacket and clone him. Nonetheless, very interesting comment.
It’s interesting how we humans try to grasp at the unimaginable and intangible with the tangible. To think there’s something like that - an artifact of sorts - that remains of him through that jacket. It’s so strange how we hold on to things like that trying to place some permanence to a blip in time that others seem to move past.
When I was 15, I watched the tv movie with Martin Sheen playing JFK. The assassination scene was pretty clean since it was a tv movie, but there were about 2-3 seconds where you could see Jackie climbing onto the back of the car. No context, no explanation, you couldn't see what she was trying to do. But those seconds stuck with me. I had a nightmare that night, that I was Jackie. Rode through Dallas, shots ring out, and immediately I climbed onto the back of the car. The only thing beating through my head was "If I can just get the pieces, they can put him back together. Just get the pieces, get them, get them..." until a Secret Service agent pushed me down into the back seat again. I fought him, yelling "Just let me get them!" At that age, I knew JFK had been assasinated, but knew none of the details. Years later, reading up on the subject, I was stunned to learn that was exactly what was going on in Jackie's head. Maybe that's where anyone's mind would go in that terrible moment, but it sure shook me up.
Jackie must’ve been an INCREDIBLY strong woman! I mean, emotionally, how do you move on with your life after the horror of something like that?! Yet, she did. SMH!
@@HospitalForSouls.X This isn't a competition to see who went through the most trauma. Can we just accept that the things that happened to ALL the people discussed in this thread were horrible, and that they were ALL left terribly damaged.
Never again after those bullets struck would she know the word peace or happiness. Joy for her was derived from her children and grandchildren. Those bullets did not only kill JFK they killed her that horrible day. May she and JFK rest in eternal peace. Thank you, Jackie for getting the country through this horrendous tragedy.
He didn't die in her lap at least not technically. When the president arrived at parkland Hospital the Doctors and Medical staff found a pulse and noted aganol breathing but there was no way possible to save his life, even if by some chance miracle they could have somehow stabilized him there was the issue of Brain Damage or the lack of a brain at all. The Doctors who work on the president in trauma room 1 at parkland Hospital stated that during their attempts to save the president, the president's cerebellum fell out of the wound towards the back of the skull. One doctor stated that at one point the First Lady entered the Trauma Room and in the first ladys hands were a portion of Brain mater and skull fragment. The day after the assassination a student discovered another piece of skull fragment in dealy plaza. This was the President of the United States of America, commander in chief of the United States Military, son of one of the wealthiest men in the world and he was murdered in the most brutal way possible while riding in the car next to his wife less than 3 weeks after lossing their premature baby patrick. I mean it doesn't get much worse than that , unless you subvert justice and lie to the people about whi was responsible or why.
At least in his final moments he knew he was loved and she could be there for him. They weren't the perfect couple, but who is? In the midst of the horror, a little consolation. But poor her, honestly. What a shitty trauma conga line she was put under.
Basically Kennedy was dead with that final shot but they delayed time of death because hospital attempted to save and Jackie wanted a priest to do last rites
Damn whoever REALLY killed him is ruthless af. Killed the man in front of his wife. I never really thought about how she was there after the car leaves the camera view. The entire ride with his head hanging off. That must be terrible. The man you call your husband and leader and father to you kids, lying lifeless with his head open. Man, that’s traumatizing. I would be a shell of a person after that and probably just keep replaying it in my mind. That’s real sad tbh Even street politics are the same. Kill a guy… but to do it in front of his loved ones. That’s just wrong and heartless
@@Gemnist98 idk the whole assassination is so shady that at this point I believe there’s more to it. Plus the way his head moved after the shot made me think it came from the front
@@deenice9169 the hidden secret is that Lee Harvey Oswald was a KGB agent, recruited in Japan and trained in Russia and given a KGB wife ☝️ he was given 5000 dollars and a Cuban visa by Castro and the DGI to shoot JFK, because Kennedy had been waging a secret war against Cuba for years... LBJ had all talk of a "communist conspiracy" suppressed in order to avoid WW III
1:30 Much worse than this. Agent who was 1 second too late said that the entire inside of the limo was covered in his brains and blood. It was everywhere.
My God how many of us could endure the horror mixed with grief,the husband she adored,the father of her beautiful children,assinated right before her very eyes. She had told him she would go to Dallas. My God.what ever it was,it ended the life of the President,caused grief among the nation,to the President's family,his beautiful family.and the selfish ignorant vp,having her stand,covered in her husband,s blood taking the oath that could have been done later. Shock,grief,love,dignity the emotions of a wonderful lady.
My now deceased Uncle married a lady who had been previously married before. She was riding in the car with her husband , newborn , 2 year old and her mother when a drunk driver ran into them head on. She said the car flipped over and she was in the back seat pinned down, she couldn't move, and her husband's brains were on her chest. And she couldn't do a thing about it! Can you imagine? Everyone else survived, but her 2 year old was paralyzed from his waist down. She didn't stay married to my Uncle very long , so I don't know how her and the boys are doing. My uncle wasn't a good man. I just remember her and the boys, they were really nice, I was just a kid myself at the time all this took place.
That poor woman had blood, brains, and bone matter all over herself. And then she sprinted to the back of the car to pick up parts of JFK's skull, and sat with him in Trauma Room #1 while they attempted to keep him alive. What an incredibly brave woman.
Heyyy now @ 1:48 I recognize this location any day US-40 West Baltimore, MD. Thanks for sharing this clip, you just gave this movie 1 new viewer and fan.
My roommate use to see her jogging around the reservoir in Central Park a few times a week. He said she’d wrap up in sunglasses & a head scarf & would run without security. She lived up the street from him on 5th Ave.
my mom has her memories of being in high school when this guy wrenching tragedy occurred.when they get to the Kennedy assassin in anything I'm watching it's heartbreaking 💔 .
How she held herself together will always be so inspiring to me…she had to deal with so much loss during her lifetime, her stillborn baby girl, followed by another loss of a child only 2 months prior her husband being assassinated...she was truly incredible…may she rest in peace.
@@vc1278 Just to clarify...there was the stillborn daughter Arabella (I think a year before). And baby Patrick died a week after being born in August a couple of months before the assassination
I can’t imagine what it must be like, having one of your loved ones getting shot right next to you, and getting covered in their blood…. God, I feel so sorry for her. 😢
Absolutely no physical resemblance to Jackie but absolutely embodied her throughout the entire film. She deserved to win that Oscar for this masterful & absolutely perfect performance. Not Emma stone.
The crazy thing was I was almost casted in this movie as Caroline Kennedy. and as a child I did not understand the meaning of this movie or the event. Now as a teen watching and in the event of history, they captured the grief and how shell shocked she was. 😢
So many what ifs, what if they had postponed the trip to Dallas because of the death of their son, what is they had the bullet proof dome on that day? What if his brother a few years later, had not went thur the kitchen to leave the hotel after winning the Calif primary? What would our country be like? what would our lives be like? I believe a better future that would have been for us all died with her husband and brother in law. This woman lived thur so much, and yet prevailed, this is what strength, courage and character looked like.
I can’t imagine how much Jackie had to internalize and deal with losing her son losing her husband losing her brother in law then losing another child when Jr passed away. I would like to think she found some semblance of peace but at the same time the human spirit can only take so much and she always presented such a strong front…Natalie performance in this movie was heartbreakingly beautiful and devastating
Just a message. Jackie did not cry after a few days later. She was so traumatized she could not let out her tears. When she got back to Washington she needed help changing out of her bloody clothes. She was so traumatized she could not. The tears did not follow until a few days after. What a horrible thing she had to experience, she stood by him when he had cheated on her, and had little actual, love to her, she is the strongest first women we have ever had. Period. Also how the hell did the actor for Jackie not get a Oscar for this amazing performance?
Jackie deserves her own memorial or holiday or something. She also had to sit thru the swearing in ceremony on the damn plane her husband was dead in a coffin in
. I remember her standing in her widow's garb, her small children on either side of her. We had only a black and white TV, and of course, I did not go to kindergarten that day. I vaguely remember the day it happened; it seems that we were let out early from school that day, and instead of walking the mile home with my friend, a strange woman came to drive us, as our mothers had no driver's licenses. We were five, and didn't not quite understand what had happened. The world seemed to stop briefly, in disbelief that such a thing had occurred.
I once saw President Obama's motorcade on a freeway here in California. They had closed off my normal on ramp to get to work, so I went on the nearest boulevard to get up to the next freeway entrance. Just as I got on the ramp to merge, these cops slowed us to a stop and suddenly I see a bunch of black shiny cars come speeding up the freeway. It was pretty amazing how fast they were going - kinda like in this scene. The thing that struck me the most was that as the motorcade proceeded, right at the end was an SUV with the tailgate open and snipers sitting there with their guns out - it was wild. Later, I found out it was definitely POTUS and they were heading downtown - which is where I worked. I guess this scene reminded me of this, because the lack of security provided to Kennedy back then was stunning...or, by design. I really liked this movie and felt like Natalie Portman really captured Jackie's essence. This is such a heartbreaking scene.
I thought it was amazing that Jackie didn't change her outfit even on Airforce One when LBJ was being sworn in. She said something like, "I want them to see what they did to Jack." That was a courageous woman.
Mostly accurate except 1:56. The wound to his head is in the wrong place. It wasn't in the forward right side. It started in the right side above his ear and extended down into the back. As the autopsy report and 40-60 witnesses described. But the autopsy photos show it to be completely intact.
If you watch the original footage, you see Jackie climb over JKF onto the trunk of the car to grab something, she grabbed a piece of his skull, which (by that time medicine had advanced enough) they would have used to try and save his life.
Jackie had a very unique voice. I do not like this whole thing. I respect Jackie too much to see someone butcher her voice. I do not know how I ended up here. I did not like the way her very private life is used in a demeaning way. She never talked about that time and I think they should have respected her choice because there are people who will see this and not having lived through it will think it is true. I thought the voice and acting were terrible, my opinion
@@ivy-gi9gg I never did either and I can't believe they actually went with the "voice." There are so many ways to hear Jackie's voice that I think someone trying to portray her would have found enough material to be fairly close.....but NO!
Gosh why was there nobody assigned to clean her up and and help her? Nurses?? Somebody!? Just alone covered in the blood and brains of her deceased husband??
My god. I couldn’t imagine being in that kind horror fest… the direction and the way Natalie sobs in front of the mirror whilst trying to clean her ‘husbands’ blood off her face really makes my sympathise and I cried each time I watched it… x
The best "conspiracy theory" I heard about the second shot was that it came from one of the secret service. Essentially, the first shot was fatal, and after it happened, in the commotion and the service guys trying to fire back at the attacker, one of them accidentally hit the president a second time. The cover up was to protect a man who made a mistake that wouldn't have changed anything anyways, why ruin this man's life when he was trying to do the right thing? (Even if he did a thing you get a mocking achievement for in some video game about protecting the president...) the biggest "smoking gun" that really convinced me it was true was that the cracked video where they provided all the evidence (it was posted immediately after all the stuff was declassified about his death) was taken down. I could see the government contacting them and being like "you're right, would you please take down the video, out of respect for the serviceman?" And I think cracked would do that

@@MintyFreshTurds and it was not very long since they already had a police escort
I’m sure only two people knew how bad President Kennedy’s wound was: Mrs. Kennedy and the Secret Service Agent on the trunk. The driver’s eyes were forward; he knew it was bad, but couldn’t really turn around and the rear view mirror would only show Mrs. Kennedy’s face and the secret service agent. I doubt Mrs. Connelly looked, as she had her own issues with her husband who was also wounded. The secret service agent on the passenger side would not be able to see unless he stood up, but he was too busy with what to do when something like this happens.
The priority was get the President to the hospital ASAP. Mrs. Kennedy would just have to,endure the horror the whole trip.
The fact that she’d lost another baby after birth just what 2 months before, then watches her husband get shot. Has to hold him on the way to the hospital and be in the room. Caked in blood, watching another man take her husbands place as President while he’s in the rear of the plane dead. THEN having to lead the nation in grief, AND keep on being a Momma. That’s one strong woman. And to love him and do everything she did for him when he passed after he cheated etc. She loved him anyway.
Such a complex life but yes she was amazing!

God bless JFK!
taquiupariu puta merda vei
wow
So graphic, must have been traumatizing for the people who were there
What people forget is her trip to Dallas was her first official appearance after the loss of their son, Patrick, born 6 weeks early. So, in August she went into premature labor, lost her son and three months later had her husband murdered in front of her, had to tell her children their father was dead, figure out a state funeral, and then take her kids and figure out if she was going to the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, her family home, or what. All while the world stared at her every move. No wonder she married Onassis. It was the only way she could even attempt to find any peace.
After JFK’s death Jackie and Boddy Kennedy became very close, sharing their grief and him basically becoming a surrogate father to her children. It was his murder that sent her over the edge. She became obsessed with privacy and security. People are certain it’s why she married Onassis. The marriage was quick enough after losing her first husband to cause criticism, and marrying a foreigner having been married to a US President was looked down upon. But they were fond of each other, and he could easily afford all the privacy and security she could ever want. Even their wedding took place on his own private island in Greece.
Let's also not forget JFK jr's birthday was shortly after this too, BEFORE the funeral... She had to deal with a lot in a short amount of time.
Thank you for this I want more people to acknowledge this 🥺
murdered* her husband dude. Get real. Watch the Zapruder film. She is shooting him from under his neck.
first can't stand Portman but she's " Jackie Kennedy so I have to see it , I had never heard or read that she lost their child it was a miracle she had Caroline , John . I wasn't even born yet only have my mom's stories of being a teenager when this terrible tragedy occurred .on my fave sci-fi series quantum leap they did an episode about Kennedy and I never get through it have to fast forward to when the Al ( hologram ) tells him in the original history Jackie died with John . seeing John Jr saluting his father's grave is heartbreaking.
The fact that she had to hold her husband's *BRAINS* on her hand during the whole car ride. 💔

It's SO interesting how a person goes into "survival mode". In Jackie's case, her survival mode told her that if you can just stop the bleeding & "keep it all in", then he'll be fine. When, logically, there was no possible way JFK (or anyone) could've survived such a horrific injury. Something fundamentally changed in America on Nov. 22nd, 1963, & we've never been the same.
I agree with you completely it's ironic that iheart mix played Dion's song Abraham Martin and John .
What changed was that while jfk wasn’t a saint and our savior the us realized he wanted a different America than the one they were envisioning. So what did they do they fucking assassinated him, and this did a number on America as it showed if there’s any semblance of hope for a better future that doesn’t align with what the leaders want you will just get killed. It’s happened to damn near everyone who’s tried.
Something changed not only in America but for the whole world then on. I'm quite convinced the world would be different today, as the late 60's and 70's probably wouldn't have been the same, and so on for the following decades... that's my opinion.
We lost what was left of our innocence.
The MIC and the Deep State briefly popped out of the shadows then receded again. It happened again with Trump. A lot of parallels there.
Jackie was literally the STRONGEST First Lady in history to deal with this so gracefully publicly. It must have really really fucked her up internally. Her sacrifices for America and each of us born and unborn at that time sent a message of how we MUST conduct ourselves in the face of tragedy and death and political upheaval. The woman of steel.

Her doctor had her to cancel all of her original official first Lady duties appearance rest of the 1963 and that wouldn't be no Texas trip for JBK and she hasn't got over the loss of her baby and that was the original plan by her doctor is to cancel all of schedule official duties for rest of the 1963 so she can be fully rested. And JFK wouldn't have gone to Texas at all.
@@andrebond678 he was going with or without her..but when jfk made it to Texas.lbj took advantage
I have a friend who was Secretary to Jackie’s personal attorney. She used to see Jackie frequently. Jackie was obsessed with privacy because she was so traumatized by the murders of John and Bobby. The reason she married Aristotle Onassis was because he could protect her. Anyway she always used an alias and wore a disguise in public.
Protect her from who?
@@TheBobbybbc From whatever crazy assassins were out there who wanted to kill another Kennedy.
@@TheBobbybbc Protect her from anybody else who might threaten or harm her family - especially her kids. She received all sorts of threats in the years after the assassination of John and Robert Kennedy.
Smart lady. I'm surprised she didn't disappear into witness protection, but then, she probably wouldn't have done that ever....I know I wouldn't give up my life. It would feel like a 2nd killing to me. If that makes sense. I wouldn't give the bastards the satisfaction.
@@christihalliday5370 She wasn't so much scared for herself, but scared for her children. RFKs assassination was the final straw. She said "If they're killing Kennedy's, then my children are first in line." Onassis was able to give her a safe island haven and all the security money could buy. She did not love him - when Onassis passed away she only commented "He came into my life at a time when my life was filled with shadows. He meant a lot to me." But he gave her what she emotionally needed at the time, and he in turn gained the prestigious wife he craved. They both got what they wanted.
One of the things I always remember about JFK’s assassination was in the video, when you see Jackie climbing to the back of the car.. Many think she’s trying to escape.. But she was trying to grab the pieces of John’s head that blew off..
Something about that always stayed with me and makes me think.. She just witnessed her husband die horribly right in front of her and her immediate response to it wasn’t to flee, or get to a safe position… it was to put him back together..
Sigh...My fourth grade teacher's father was there when Kennedy was shot. He was filming them as they drove by and you see the moment of the fatal shot and you see her climbing out on the trunk towards the Secret Service agent. I surmised he told her to get back in, because she did as he was scaling that very long trunk. He sorta did this double hop to scale that distance. I didn't see her grab anything. Just a person going towards her Secret Service people for help.
People kept filming and taking photos because they didn't know what was happening. It happened in seconds. You don't see the pink mist, you just see his body violently jerk and fall forward. Milliseconds. It's not till people show it in slow motion that you see how horrific it is. My teacher didn't do that. I'm glad she shared it with us. I don't feel like it traumatized us because it happens very fast. We didn't see brains or anything graphic. Just the President and First Lady's reaction. God bless that woman. Can not imagine how she dealt with it all. I'm sure the doctor gave her something to help her sleep when she had time to do so. They didn't make people suffer back then.
Historical details aside, for the context of filmmaking, I will never understand how Emma Stone in La La Land beat this performance for best actress. Just astounding.
She was robbed!!! I think the fact that Natalie was heavily pregnant during awards season didn’t help! Oscars is all about a smooching and kiss ass game at the end of the day. She couldn’t “campaign” for the recognition leading up to award season. It’s a shame. Natalie deserved to win!

Jackie Kennedy was the strongest First Lady that we have ever had. To go through that horror and stand by LBj while he was sworn in was so heartbreaking. She showed such composure for her children's sake and such grace. I can't imagine what it was like for her to relive that moment over and over.
LBJ commanded someone to go get her to pose with him, right after what she went through. He was such a bastard.
@@Jason8823 He didn't "command" her. He needed her in a sense to legitimize his authority on some level. She stood next to him because, even in her grief, she knew she was really the only one who could do that and start the long, awful work of healing the nation.
@@BroadwayDuchess13there is rumors it was a coup de tat so I always wondered if Jackie and Bobby thought it was a conspiracy
I wish instead of a mirror...she had had someone doing that for her...wiping away the blood. Telling her not to think about it, telling her it would be okay...but she was basically alone....god bless this woman and actress who portrayed it so well.
Natalie Portman was not a choice I expected but she is truly phenomenal.
Jackie washed her own face in real life, saying afterwards that she regretted doing it - "Let them see what they have done" - but the shock and trauma had set in by the time she got back to the White House that night, and her personal assistant Tish Baldridge had to help her out of her clothes, as the deeply traumatised Jackie could not bring herself to touch them.
When you're freshly traumatized, like that nearness does not make you feel, less alone. Smh I remember the first time I saw the footage of her crawling on the moving vehicle, to retrieve a piece, of his skull.
I was very hurt for both of them. It's still awful.
I was thinking the same thing.
It was a very personal moment, erasing what was essentially the last part of her husband from herself.
She was a remarkable woman. She literally held our country together with her bravery during those awful days. How she managed it is incomprehensible. Such grace and dignity. ♥️
Wasn’t there rumors that she was a huge racist?
What I love about Jackie, is that she had the guts to shoot her husband so blatantly. That makes her one of the most powerful women to have ever existed. She snuffed out the life of Jack Kennedy, setting forward the path for the rest of the misery we have known.
she was literally racist😭
@@lemonylimely and how the fuck do you know that for sure lol
@@lemonylimely proof?
I've often wondered how this affected her for the rest of her life. No wife could go through that, even if they hated their husband, and not see it every night from then on. If you look at the photos of her during LBJ being sworn in soon after that, it speaks volumes for either how incredibly strong she must have been or how in total shock she was (probably both)
Jackie knew LBJ had everything to do with the murder. She also knew others were involved ( CIA). Other countries intelligence agencies told the Kennedy family that LBJ was the one responsible for it. LBJ wanted to be president so he could escape other crimes he had already committed & have full immunity.

She had to know he was NEVER coming back from an injury like that. Incomprehensible. Everyone involved knew from the start. Truly incredible. Jackie was really something and I don't even know how she held herself together after that. She really lead an extraordinary life.
I think Jackie Onassis went through so much in her life. She was possibly the most glamorous first lady ever. She was actually very intellectual and got involved with publishing later in her life as well.
What Jackie went through that day was horrific. We only saw on tv, for her it was so much worse. My heart goes out to her and how well she composed herself. She was so elegant, graceful, and beautiful
I was a police officer in Louisiana for 25 years. When I was in detective division I had a sergeant who was the nephew of one of the motor officers in that motorcade. His uncle's family still has the leather jacket with skull fragments and blood from the president's head. I'm surprised the FBI never confiscated it.
To be honest, I don’t think the FBI would concern themselves with that lol not like someone could get a blood sample from the jacket and clone him. Nonetheless, very interesting comment.
It’s interesting how we humans try to grasp at the unimaginable and intangible with the tangible. To think there’s something like that - an artifact of sorts - that remains of him through that jacket. It’s so strange how we hold on to things like that trying to place some permanence to a blip in time that others seem to move past.
When I was 15, I watched the tv movie with Martin Sheen playing JFK. The assassination scene was pretty clean since it was a tv movie, but there were about 2-3 seconds where you could see Jackie climbing onto the back of the car. No context, no explanation, you couldn't see what she was trying to do. But those seconds stuck with me.
I had a nightmare that night, that I was Jackie. Rode through Dallas, shots ring out, and immediately I climbed onto the back of the car. The only thing beating through my head was "If I can just get the pieces, they can put him back together. Just get the pieces, get them, get them..." until a Secret Service agent pushed me down into the back seat again. I fought him, yelling "Just let me get them!"
At that age, I knew JFK had been assasinated, but knew none of the details. Years later, reading up on the subject, I was stunned to learn that was exactly what was going on in Jackie's head. Maybe that's where anyone's mind would go in that terrible moment, but it sure shook me up.
I always knew that she had talent, but when I saw this... I felt like she took it to a new level.
Jackie must’ve been an INCREDIBLY strong woman! I mean, emotionally, how do you move on with your life after the horror of something like that?! Yet, she did. SMH!

Those bullets did not only kill JFK they killed her that horrible day. May she and JFK rest in eternal peace. Thank you, Jackie for getting the country through this horrendous tragedy.
Unbelievable that he died in her lap like that. God Bless Jackie
He didn't die in her lap at least not technically. When the president arrived at parkland Hospital the Doctors and Medical staff found a pulse and noted aganol breathing but there was no way possible to save his life, even if by some chance miracle they could have somehow stabilized him there was the issue of Brain Damage or the lack of a brain at all. The Doctors who work on the president in trauma room 1 at parkland Hospital stated that during their attempts to save the president, the president's cerebellum fell out of the wound towards the back of the skull. One doctor stated that at one point the First Lady entered the Trauma Room and in the first ladys hands were a portion of Brain mater and skull fragment. The day after the assassination a student discovered another piece of skull fragment in dealy plaza. This was the President of the United States of America, commander in chief of the United States Military, son of one of the wealthiest men in the world and he was murdered in the most brutal way possible while riding in the car next to his wife less than 3 weeks after lossing their premature baby patrick. I mean it doesn't get much worse than that , unless you subvert justice and lie to the people about whi was responsible or why.
At least in his final moments he knew he was loved and she could be there for him. They weren't the perfect couple, but who is? In the midst of the horror, a little consolation.
But poor her, honestly. What a shitty trauma conga line she was put under.
Basically Kennedy was dead with that final shot but they delayed time of death because hospital attempted to save and Jackie wanted a priest to do last rites
Damn whoever REALLY killed him is ruthless af. Killed the man in front of his wife. I never really thought about how she was there after the car leaves the camera view. The entire ride with his head hanging off. That must be terrible. The man you call your husband and leader and father to you kids, lying lifeless with his head open. Man, that’s traumatizing. I would be a shell of a person after that and probably just keep replaying it in my mind. That’s real sad tbh
Even street politics are the same. Kill a guy… but to do it in front of his loved ones. That’s just wrong and heartless

So many what ifs, what if they had postponed the trip to Dallas because of the death of their son, what is they had the bullet proof dome on that day?

What would our country be like? what would our lives be like?
I believe a better future that would have been for us all died with her husband and brother in law.
This woman lived thur so much, and yet prevailed, this is what strength, courage and character looked like.

The way this whole scene was made is so brutal and haunting.

Stunning work, Natalie.
SGT Hartman was right, Oswald was a hell of a shot, got 3 hits from 250ft at a moving target including a headshot using an old Italian rifle.
I can’t imagine how much Jackie had to internalize and deal with losing her son losing her husband losing her brother in law then losing another child when Jr passed away. I would like to think she found some semblance of peace but at the same time the human spirit can only take so much and she always presented such a strong front…Natalie performance in this movie was heartbreakingly beautiful and devastating
Well she was at least spared the heartbreak on losing her only son, since she died in 1994 while John Jr died in 1999...
“take all the time you need” okay can you give it to her?? leave.
Just a message. Jackie did not cry after a few days later. She was so traumatized she could not let out her tears. When she got back to Washington she needed help changing out of her bloody clothes. She was so traumatized she could not. The tears did not follow until a few days after. What a horrible thing she had to experience, she stood by him when he had cheated on her, and had little actual, love to her, she is the strongest first women we have ever had. Period. Also how the hell did the actor for Jackie not get a Oscar for this amazing performance?
Did Natalie win an Oscar for this or anything? Her tired sobbing when you have cried so much was on point.
No innocent person; no one, I would not wish this on anyone; no one deserves this. No one.
What a strong woman.
Jackie deserves her own memorial or holiday or something. She also had to sit thru the swearing in ceremony on the damn plane her husband was dead in a coffin in

. I remember her standing in her widow's garb, her small children on either side of her. We had only a black and white TV, and of course, I did not go to kindergarten that day. I vaguely remember the day it happened; it seems that we were let out early from school that day, and instead of walking the mile home with my friend, a strange woman came to drive us, as our mothers had no driver's licenses. We were five, and didn't not quite understand what had happened. The world seemed to stop briefly, in disbelief that such a thing had occurred.
I once saw President Obama's motorcade on a freeway here in California. They had closed off my normal on ramp to get to work, so I went on the nearest boulevard to get up to the next freeway entrance. Just as I got on the ramp to merge, these cops slowed us to a stop and suddenly I see a bunch of black shiny cars come speeding up the freeway. It was pretty amazing how fast they were going - kinda like in this scene. The thing that struck me the most was that as the motorcade proceeded, right at the end was an SUV with the tailgate open and snipers sitting there with their guns out - it was wild. Later, I found out it was definitely POTUS and they were heading downtown - which is where I worked. I guess this scene reminded me of this, because the lack of security provided to Kennedy back then was stunning...or, by design. I really liked this movie and felt like Natalie Portman really captured Jackie's essence. This is such a heartbreaking scene.
kinda off topic but natalie got her accent down perfectly
Very difficult scene to play ▶️

I thought it was amazing that Jackie didn't change her outfit even on Airforce One when LBJ was being sworn in. She said something like, "I want them to see what they did to Jack." That was a courageous woman.
I never really thought too deeply about how traumatizing that must have been for her. Damn... that is unbelievably terrifying. :(
The scene made me cry.😢
Mostly accurate except 1:56. The wound to his head is in the wrong place. It wasn't in the forward right side. It started in the right side above his ear and extended down into the back. As the autopsy report and 40-60 witnesses described. But the autopsy photos show it to be completely intact.
Back, and to the left....
If you watch the original footage, you see Jackie climb over JKF onto the trunk of the car to grab something, she grabbed a piece of his skull, which (by that time medicine had advanced enough) they would have used to try and save his life.
I like Natalie Portman, but her trying to talk like Jackie is terrible. At the beginning of the scene it’s so bad you can barely understand her.
Jackie had a very unique voice. I do not like this whole thing. I respect Jackie too much to see someone butcher her voice. I do not know how I ended up here. I did not like the way her very private life is used in a demeaning way. She never talked about that time and I think they should have respected her choice because there are people who will see this and not having lived through it will think it is true. I thought the voice and acting were terrible, my opinion

My heart breaks for jackiee her husband was killed right in front of her eyes🥺😭💔
imo her best acting role. She should have gotten an oscar for this.
Jesus Natalie is such an incredible actress theres so much pain in her voice. edit:added actress
The best "conspiracy theory" I heard about the second shot was that it came from one of the secret service. Essentially, the first shot was fatal, and after it happened, in the commotion and the service guys trying to fire back at the attacker, one of them accidentally hit the president a second time. The cover up was to protect a man who made a mistake that wouldn't have changed anything anyways, why ruin this man's life when he was trying to do the right thing? (Even if he did a thing you get a mocking achievement for in some video game about protecting the president...) the biggest "smoking gun" that really convinced me it was true was that the cracked video where they provided all the evidence (it was posted immediately after all the stuff was declassified about his death) was taken down. I could see the government contacting them and being like "you're right, would you please take down the video, out of respect for the serviceman?" And I think cracked would do that
Omg!😢 I can only imagine what Jackie went through that tragic day!!! That day the world stood still!😢😔
So Sad 😞 😥
All I can see when I see her face is: “You’re going down a path I can’t follow”

Because of what you’ve done! What you plan to do!
