CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) gives an emotional closing argument to the jury about the importance of truth within the government.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The November 22, 1963, assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy shocked the nation and the world. The brisk investigation of that murder conducted under the guidance of Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren distressed many observers, even though subsequent careful investigations have been unable to find much fault with the conclusions his commission drew, the central one of which was that the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone. Instead of satisfying the public, one result of the Warren Commission Report was that an unimaginable number of plausible conspiracy theories were bruited about, and these have supported a sizeable publishing mini-industry ever since. In making this movie, director Oliver Stone had his pick of supposed or real investigative flaws to draw from and has constructed what some reviewers felt was one of the most compelling (and controversial) political detective thrillers ever to emerge from American cinema. Long before filming was completed, Stone was fending off heated accusations of artistic and historical irresponsibility, and these only intensified after the film was released. In the story, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) is convinced that there are some big flaws in the investigation of Oswald (Gary Oldman), and he sets out to recreate the events leading up to the assassination. Along the way, he stumbles across evidence that a great many people had reason to want to see the president killed, and he is convinced that some of them worked in concert to frame Oswald as the killer. Among the suspects are Lyndon Baines Johnson (the next president), the CIA, J. Edgar Hoover, and the Mafia. Over the course of gathering what he believes to be evidence of a conspiracy, Garrison unveils some of the grittier aspects of New Orleans society, focusing on the shady activities of local businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones). Garrison's investigations culminate in his conducting a show trial that he knows he will lose and which he is sure will ruin his career in order to get his evidence into the public record where it can't be buried again. This movie won two of the many Academy Awards for which it was nominated: one for Best Photography (Robert Richardson) and the other for Editing (Joe Hutshing).

I know this was the year that Silence of the Lambs destroyed the Oscars but...hell, Costner deserved at least a nomination for best actor...
A big mistake on their part. If he wasn't nominated in the previous year for "Dances With Wolves" (Which he didn't exactly deserve over Ray Liotta), then he probably would have gotten in.
Fuck your Ray Liotta.
mohammed aly He was better in Goodfellas than Costner was in Dances. That's my honest opinion.
Mitchell Murray Goodfellas sucks.
I think Liotta got completely overshadowed by both Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci in 'Goodfellas'. Pesci won Supporting Actor of course, but I would have nominated DeNiro for Best Actor, not Liotta. They nominated DeNiro for 'Awakenings' instead. The Academy loves the sentimental, heart-tugging stuff.
He actually memorized that whole damn speech and i guess recited it in a single shot, same with Sutherland's speech as X. They are brilliant
why don't you marry them
Yeah.. an actor remembered his lines, that’s about it. Jim Garrison never made this speech in real life. Look it up.
@sosaboy sosa -That's what is most important-not all the mindless excuse making by the Lone Nut Trolls and more culture of lies that has swallowed up our country.
@@vernpascal1531 Exactly! Well said.
@@Jeff-cr9ho You seemed to have missed the point. Costner caught the 'essence'. He transcended the event. He was perfect.
3:21 "It's up to you."
Wow. I've seen this movie like 6 times, and only just now noticed that Costner is staring into the camera during this line. He's not just talking to the jury. He's talking to the audience. It's up to us.
Just watched this for the first time and you're right... it's not quite as obvious of a fourth wall break as other movies (Ferris Beuller being the best example). But it closed the scene out perfectly.
This speech was not said by the real Jim Garrison
adamzanzie I
adamzanzie Of course he was talking to us and we failed him again and again. We don't run the government. They run us.
You didn’t notice it the first 6 times? It’s not exactly subtle. Wow.
Costner can be a bit wooden at times, but his performance here is incredible. The passion, the way he chokes back tears, fantastic speech.
Those were real tears too, unscripted
Jue tears
Great in Bodyguard too!
Nick, "a bit wooden"? He's playing a part, it's called acting!
This was during his taking on accents phase, which isn’t his strength.. He’s good, not great as an actor, but he’s always fun to watch..
This is a really good technical achievement in film, but the story is nonsense.. But that’s OK, I’m fine with Stone’s vision even if I disagree with it..
Costner apparently wasn't acting when we hear tears in his voice near the end--the emotion of the moment was really getting to him.
Oh yes he was - acting, that is. The notion that this movie was or is anything other than fiction is absurd. Lee Harvey Oswald, a communist, assassinated President Kennedy, acting alone. Every scrap and speck of credible evidence proves this. Among those who have actually studied the case in detail, only fanatics, loons, or those financially interested - i.e., the billion-dollar "JFK conspiracy theory industry" - can truly believe otherwise.
Jason Sylvester I'm aware of these facts. I simply mean that Costner's tears were "real".
RushLimborg
Ahhhh, thanks for the clarification.
Ill buy that when you can show me a sniper who can duplicate oswalds shooting.
Ray j Indeed. Are you a sniper, then? Or do you know any snipers firsthand? Because if I were to claim (as so many others have claimed) that US Marine Corps snipers are trained with targets at a FAR greater distance than Kennedy was from Oswald's position--and that therefore, ANYONE with Oswald's training could darn well have made the shot...what would you say? And what would be your credibility in saying it?
Those were real tears he was holding back. Amazing.
Yes, like Oliver Stone says on the commentary of the Blu Ray. It was not in the Script. And Stone says JFK is his Godfather. I am not american, but the believes of people who want justice and peace are universal. I'm very touched when I see this scene. Or the Arlington Scene. Here this black father with his son "here lies JFK, my boy" and the music of John Williams hits you right in the face. I am german, but I love (or like very much) America for some things and I think the truth and the future were murdered, they got away with it and the men who did it are still there, the successors. Those Right Wing structures are deeply included, the Military Industrial Complex, the CIA, LB. Johnson, the Mob (like Costner very logical says in JFK the Mob NEVER could have acted ALONE with all the cover up. Sad, that still people believe that though. Castro, the Russians? No, no, no!!! I think they may habe been a power involved who almost nobody talks about and which power in the world has risen up since 1963...
Like X said "No One said he has to die, nothing is written." Or Ferrie: "Its a mystery hidden in a mystery."
@@ClaptonDennis That's one of the best summations ever of the film. Brilliant.
@CallMeOgmios One of palm oil planters settlement in my country was named in LBJ honour. 🇲🇾 🇲🇾
"It's up to you" and looks right at you.
Yep I recognized it too. He looked straight into the camera and that was no coincidence.
it looks right to all of us.
That gave me goose bumps. It was an evident message to all of us people! Props to Oliver Stone
Yeah, and they voted for an orangutan whom by executive fiat classified the files keeping them secret for another generation.

And you've got another choice this November . . . vote for someone willing to bring down the secret gov't that works for the interests of people with private security and 20ft walls and private jets . . . or vote for Briben
You can hear as he goes further in his speech, he starts to struggle in not crying. Kevin Costner deserved an Oscar for this scene alone
It wasn't scripted. Those are for real tears. You should check out today. 1/03/2023 Tuesday

I get tears when I watch that scene too.
HE IS SAYING TO US ALL, DECIDE HOW U WANT TO LIVE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THIS MOMENT WHEN WE EACH DECIDE DO WE WANT TRUTH. NO MATTER HOW UGLY. OR DO WE NEED THE CON OF OUR WORLD BECAUSE FEAR HAS TRAPPED U INTO BELIEVING THE CON OF THIS WORLD. BE BRAVE, WALL THE PATH OF TRUTH IF U DECIDE ✨️ 🙏 ♥️ LOVE AND HOPE ARE OUT THERE. ITS UP TO U.
It’s so moving, just he’s explaining to always seek the truth, as a country the wool has always been pulled over our eyes, we’re powerless but not by the numbers
@@rubentrevino2372do you have a link to anything explaining these were real tears? I couldn’t find any articles
The way he carried the last scene in ONE SINGLE CONTINUOUS shot is just amazing
There were plenty of cuts (0:48) ... but it is a fine speech. One of the best in film history even if, over time, most of its claims have been proven to be rubbish.
@@EdukingdomJoe Your source: CIA
Gregory peck style!
@@EdukingdomJoe "proven", by who... the CIA?

“Do not forget your dying king” was a very powerful line of dialogue
That's were it hits me, every time
And that was the one line I hated the most. The last thing this country needs or needed was a king. The country was kind of founded on the idea so Kevin can pound that one right where it belongs.
@@DonLoco3 I don't think he meant king in the literal sense of the word. He was just being poetic.
And I love the way Kevin looks into the camera when he says it. He’s not talking to the jury. He is talking to all of us.
One of the greatest scenes in American film history. Costner is brilliant here.
He's talking to you. He's talking to us. He's talking to everyone watching this film. It really is up to us.
let me know when you've solved the case deputy
Amen!
He also talking to mr Garrison who was also in the room.
"Show the world that this is still a government for the people, by the people and of the people."
This powerful quote still applies to the corrupt government today.

@@craysoonultimate1857 Said nobody with⚽⚽s ever.
"Individual Human Beings have to create justice and this is not easy because the truth often poses a threat to power". Great quote!!!
true words were Never spoken 💯even more so because of the lie that america 🇺🇸 is

It's a noble ideal, but without God at the center of a society's conscience justice is too far away.
It's an idea no one today has the balls to back up
I read this quote just as Costner was speaking the words. Nice synchronicity.
Personally, I like the Jim Garrison court scenes when he standing up talking and how he's trying to get the point across. Kevin Costner played a great role in this movie and I think it's his effort that made this movie great
Costner's best moment. Holding back tears. He had a lot of misses. This was spot on.
Costner nailed this closing argument, one of his best roles ever! Do Not Forget Your Dying King!
Costner really was a great actor in dramatic roles. JFK and Field of Dreams were brilliant performances.

Uncool for you to talk down to me telling me what I don't understand. I'll let my comment to you speak for itself.
@@traceyscott909 I was not using "you" to single you out or be disrespectful my apologies. What I should have said the forces JFK was up against (CIA being primary) and elite took complete control of this country on Nov 22 1963 at 1230pm
@@heatherphil1227 Ms. Brady, apology accepted. JFK was killed because he was the 1st Roman-Catholic President since the Declaration Of Independence government's existence in America, which is Protestant founded and operated. It is also why Americans have problems with Biden being president. I'll stop here with respect to you.
"These are the people who cannot afford to send money but do." That line gets me breaking down every freaking time. The movie posits that the incoming administration committed this act over money and then those families put their pennies against their blank checks even when it meant giving up basic necessities just to know the truth even though it wouldn’t change the power structure in all likelihood regardless of the outcome of the trial.
This movie is complete fiction, you dumbass.
@@tpryce6234 not really. The conspiracy is still out there and the files will be opened up in 2029. We are close. Soon we will have the truth
They’ve interviewed members of that jury who said they personally believed Clay Shaw was involved in a conspiracy based on the evidence they heard but due to the hearsay nature of the evidence they couldn’t convict. Also the movie is a meaningful allegory for citizen power vs state power regardless.
@@kgkgaming06 do u really believe those files will be true though? What are we gonna do if the own gov happened to be a part of it, whos gonna arrest/justice to the gov?
Yeah, the problem is, the movie is dead wrong..
Lemme explain.. If I told you the killer of Officer Tippit discarded a jacket shortly after shooting Tippit, and Lee Oswald discarded his jacket at basically the same time, what could that possibly, or likely (lol) mean?..
They were the same guy, of course.. And the massive amounts of evidence in this crime supports that..
So, why is Lee killing a cop?.. Discarding his jacket?.. Trying to kill more cops when he resists arrest?..
He was a cop killer, no doubt..
These are people who cant afford to send money but do ... gets me everytime.
Costner's delivery was really emotionally inspiring.
That speech is priceless and moves me every time I hear it. Especially when he breaks into tears.
What a powerful speech - Kevin Costner's portrayal of Jim Garrison was superb. This movie clearly inferred what the government is capable of .... and yet so many Americans still choose to be okay with keeping their heads in the sand and not asking questions. The JFK assassination was a definite turning point for this country - and we have been going headlong in a downward spiral ever since then. Today, we are perilously close to complete demise and nobody seems to notice; nobody seems to care
The Democrats killed JFK

Very well spoken 😉
Bread and circuses. Reality tv is more important than reality.

Just finished watching this on Vudu. The whole speech by Kevin Costner was incredible. I was teary eyed near the end.
from a time, when movies still had guts and meaning. stone´s eternal masterpiece.
Platoon is his masterpiece..
Just finished watching the movie for the first time. It was great.
I just re watched this movie......man.....how tragic then and now. This is a great scene. We the people need to govern ourselves.
I love this movie. "This are people cannot afford to send money but do, because they care".
This message is needed now more than ever.
When you question the government it’s a conspiracy, but when the government questions you it’s an investigation…
The guy killed a cop, discarded his jacket to change his appearance, then tried to kill more cops when he resisted arrest..
He’s connected by physical evidence on his person to all 3 locations where physical evidence is found in the Tippit killing, and he’s repeatedly acting guilty..
He discarded a jacket and so did the killer, what could that possibly mean?..
Don’t defend a cop killer, man..
we truly lost our country when they got away with this. Not to mention 9/11.
I wouldn't say the government caused 9/11 but I think they let it happen, could of stopped it.
The problem with the attacks during 2001 is that they've possibly already accomplished what goals they had in mind. Perhaps what needs to be done is to try to grasp what happened as a result of 9/11 and calculate whether its reversible.
One problem is that he bad guys always seem to have bottomless pockets and endless amounts of time to plan their evil & sneaky projects. Combine that with how much of the news doesn't inform but rather distract or misinform. Also, modern life advances quite fast. Things get changed quick when everyone's shocked into a state of stupor & pressured to follow the band wagon.
Damn, I hate to say it but you're right!
They murdered everyone that got in their way. We definitely live in the proverbial matrix

One of the most powerful acting in cinematic history! Kevin deserved an Oscar!

It's hard to believe this movie is over 30 years old now. My brother was working downtown at the time when they were filming motorcade scenes and traffic was blocked off.
In 2021 this speech...is everything
Kevin Costner is such a charismatic actor. One of the greatest ever.
I can’t imagine how much dialogue Kevin Costner had to memorize for this movie! I mean the third act alone is basically just Costner talking literally the entire time! Like 30 min straight of just monologuing (which he absolutely kills btw:)!
Wonderful performance by Costner here.
To say the movie is powerful, informative, and impactful is an understatement. The monologue in this scene is equally telling. When I saw this just before I entered the US Army, I was already a researcher of the assassination due to my parent's influence. My father was a career (23 years) US Army soldier who fought in Korea and 'Nam, and my mother is a TV journalist and producer. Both were privy to things most folks would never know due to their professions. More so for my father, who later worked for IBM (government contracts.)
Having been a poor student but a scholar when it came to history, the 1960s was and has been my favorite decade to study. That said, it's also one of the most suppressed. When this movie came out, my whole family went to see it. My mother couldn't stay during the shooting reenactments of JFK, and my father kept his composure throughout but was very, very silent afterward for some time.
About a year later, the anniversary of the assassination was being talked about on TV. I asked my dad what he thought about the movie based on what he already knew. He told me the movie was good, better than good, but the "Dealey Plaza" scenario played out in the last act gave him pause. I needed to familiarize myself with the term and asked what he meant. He told me the shooting scenario postulated in the movie was something he had done countless times in Korea. He taught that same tactic to troops in Advanced Individual Training in the states and elsewhere (South America), including replacements for 'Nam. He said it was an "L" formation. I had some idea of what he was talking about because I had been to civilian military school [Kemper Camper], but I still could not appreciate what he was saying.
Another year went by, and I had been assigned to an Infantry Unit. Even though I was a Combat Medic, every 'non-combat' soldier was expected to participate in Infantry combat training, whether as a medic or a grunt it didn't matter and honestly I LOVE IT! On one op, it suddenly dawned on me. I knew what my father was trying to convey to me. He knew that the shooters were military veterans! My father never talked about actual combat, never talked about the friends he lost, nor spoke ill of the enemies he fought against. He never raised us to hate anyone, even the people who tried to kill him (my hero.)
When I went home for a four-day pass, I had to get something off my chest. So I asked my dad the question. "When we were talking about the JFK movie, did you feel bad because you think vets participated in the assassination?" He responded with a sigh and said, "I feel bad because I might have trained or served with the guys who murdered the president." He had that same expression that Costner had at the end, and it cut me to the bone.
We never talked about the movie or JFK again.
get meds bro
The greatest piece of acting Kevin Costner has ever performed.
And a scene written about the Kennedy Assassination but applies to our world right now might be the greatest contribution that Oliver Stone has ever made to his country out of uniform.
Justice does not come into being automatically.
This is withouth doubts one of the best speeches ever spoken in movies, probably the best (whole process is really intensive).
This screenplay was so well written. Stone’s finest moment with the pen and camera. And a Fantastic ensemble - I still love John Candy getting a turn in this. Great movie!
One thing I think people may miss in this scene is how when Kevin Costner looks into the camera at the end and says “It’s up to you.” Before he delivers that line the camera rises up. It is Stone’s way of saying we should all rise to the occasion and stand up to corruption in our government. It’s really a subtle way of challenging us to do this.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie. 3:20 point of this scene was so powerful it took my breath away

such a great movie very inspiring, Jim Garrison is an American hero
Except he isn't! Clay Shaw was innocent!
5Mariner He was "claimed" as innocent. If it truly was the government, wouldnt you think they wouldve payed off the jury or something like that. If Jim Garrison actually won this case, the entire government establishment, its structure wouldve been changed. Many people in government wouldve been trialed and if they were found guilty, then our government today wouldnt be what it is... He was a threat to power. And what ever you threaten always to fight back.

SC evolved out of an earlier movement called the Posse Commitatus, tax protestors. The Radical Right, specifically The Order and similar groups, existed before SC.
Just finished the film for the first time and this scene really got me. It’s very powerful, no matter what you think about the JFK assassination
I have seen this scene so many times and only now realized he's breaking the fourth wall at the end. I think it's time yet again to watch this masterpiece, been too long...
This is one of the greatest pieces of acting to EVER come out of Hollywood.
"Let justice be done or the heavens fall"
I saw this movie as a teenager and it was so impactful. Still is
This speech holds more relevance today than ever before. Apparently nothing changes….until the people change it. What is everyone waiting on?
The story of this man bringing this case to congress and trying so hard with all his research is so moving. It’s like saying the average American can’t do anything about what happens in America but the fight for truth is worth it even if he lost. It’s what is so important about being an American. The quest for justice is so inspiring in this film.
1:17 was the best part of the summary
In a free country this film ,would have won every Oscar!
It's bigger then even they thought. The torch is always passed. So do we fail the cause in our time. Today is the day of the battle . The battle of good against evil. Greatness against mediocrity.
"The truth is the most important value we have...because if the government murders truth, if we cannot respect the hearts of this people, then this is not the country I was born in, and it's certainly not the country I want to die in."
If ever this echoed, it echoes today.
My father served 2 tours in Vietnam with the Army's 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. Because he believed in a democracy country.
You mean “a democratic country.” Hate to break it to you, but killing Vietnamese didn’t help one iota.🤷♂️
Huh. Same as my dad... exact same. 101st and 82nd Airborne. Respect.
Man, I sometimes forget how great Kevin Costner was in this movie until I watch this scene.
Incredible scene!
Costner was so convincing as Jim Garrison.
Wonderful cast & performanes !
@1:55 - Chocking up - best acting of Costner's career, probably because he was really feeling it.
11/22/63: The day the world changed.
Damn, this rings more true with every passing year.
More true today than ever.
Kevin Costner is one of the most naturally gifted actors of all time...He is a legit living legend...People will be talking about him 100 years from now.
Look what we've become since...
This is one of the monologues - I'm not even American & it tears me up!
Ooops one of the great monologues!
God bless Jim Garrison
Jim Garrison was an unethical pile of shit. Don't listen to this film whatsoever. It is incredibly misleading, on so many things. it is actually pretty irresponsible.
Jeff, you're an unethical pile of shit and CIA lover.
We need this speech even more today 2021.... people thought this was a terrible time in history ....today though God help us
one of the most moving scenes in movies...
"Show this world that this is still a government of the people, for the people and by the people. Nothing as long as you live will ever be more important. It's up to you." Prophetic words considering what is trying to get himself re-elected in '24 and how dangerous he is. The idealism JUMPS off the screen in this scene.
Powerful performance. Still so true today!
Wow, Saul Goodman is so good in this
How true even today
