I could never ever be “in awe” of such an “AWFUL” family. They were/are SCUM. Old Joe was boinking Gloria Swanson, with Rose in the very next room. Rose is as scummy as the rest of them for fulling knowing EXACTLY what her husband was doing. I won’t go down the road of John Sr.’s and Bobby’s lowlife, abhorrent behavior because that would take days.
Old man Kennedy was a crook who used his ties with the mob to help get Kennedy elected President. JFK, Bobby, and Teddy were nothing but self entitled carpet baggers.
In 1983 twenty years past the date, it amazes me how true to the '60s this movie is. Clothes, cars, everything. 1963 is the year of high school graduation & freshman year in college. The loss of our beloved president affected every one of us. Today is Friday 13th of September, 2024 AD
I was 9 months old, and my mother was folding laundry when she watched live on television , Kennedy being shot to death in Dallas. This is how I found out about "who is John F. Kennedy." She told me one day, when I asked about a picture of the brothers that hung in our home, still does. Along with cards, letters from Esther Kennedy, thank you cards from the condolence cards my mother send when at different times with BOTH of them were assassinated. I was curious about them as a child growing up and looking through this collection my mother had in a show box. I graduated from high school in 1981 and was given the "sanitized version" of US history. AS an adult I have had to "dig out the facts" about our country and find the real story of the Kennedy's on my own. This is the first time I am seeing this mini series, as I was already, as young adult, hard at work--working 40-50 hours a week in a local ER after taking courses at a local community college. My last job in medical after 17 years was nursing. I was injured on the job, wound up on SSDI at age 36--frustrated. I have had lots of time to read, research and study. I also volunteer helping others as much as I can. From what I have seen so far, this is pretty much going along with what I found in my research. JFK is remembered as some type of saint. But in reality he was a womanizer, cheated on his wife, and had pretty low morals. The family background comes from criminal activities to gain their wealth from being part of the IRISH MAFIA way back in the early days of Irish immigration. There was a lot of corruption in police and regarding alcohol sales and regarding early movie making and some financial dealings with stock. As time went on the "Patriarch" of the family, Joseph tried to go more legitimate by accepting government type jobs, specifically an ambassadorship to London England in which he rubbed shoulders with the royal family, and even met Winston Churchill. Even these things Joseph did, did not change HIS lifestyle of running around, and womanizing, a trait his son picked up from him. He pinned his hopes on John to someday become President. Hiding behind their religion to cover up a host of sins, does not excuse the behavior. Jackie Kennedy coped with this behavior by spending money on clothing and things as a diversion to her reality. She tried to rise about her husbands bedroom antics. It was a tough role for her, never being allowed to share with anyone the private nightmare she lived. Always being told to lift up her chin and accept it. "All the Kennedy women did." Now after all these years, I get a chance to watch this, thanks! I am now 60 years old!
Very nice overview. We are two that were cut from the same stone. I’ve had to dig to find the truths of US History. I made sure I taught my students the truths as well.
@@warrenwhite8605 That's bc back then they covered for them! They hate Trump bc he's exposing all the Corruption so they have to attack him like rabbid beasts.
i remember i was in 2nd grade when kennedy shot. we were in hallway recess getting a drink of water. the one teacher whipser to my teacher then she told us class our president was shot. I remember having the photo of kennedy in our living room . think everyone household had one. i remember kennedy while campigning rode by in a pink convertiable road thtrough our streets. good documentary thanks
I attended college with Caroline. She lived in Elliot House next to me. Most of us found it extremely difficult to converse with her void of any mention or reference to her father and uncle. It's a profound shame that her life is surrounded by her past. I pray that as time goes on, she becomes free of the historic chains of days long gone by
I was born a few months after Kennedy was elected. I was a toddler when he died. My family was devastated. I remember that far back. It was always a subject that was talked about in my family. They were always Democrats. They worshiped this man. After that my father went to Vietnam. Nothing was ever the same. I always wondered if things would have been different if Kennedy had lived. Politics has nothing to do with our welfare. It's all about the Rich.
Oh no! That voice of Martin Sheen's was inaccurate of how the Kennedys sounded! Someone on here said it was like Elmer Fudd. True! Just starting to watch, looks good
Don’t kid yourself. Bobby screwed around on Ethel with Marylin Monroe, for just one. There were others. Kennedy men never could, and “never will be able to keep up their pants zippers to this day.
34:10 This movie is beginning to annoy me with al of the pot shots at Nixon. Do you want to talk about having no class? Look no further. The reason Nixon had his press secretary deliver the concession is because he was pissed off, and he knew showing that was not good for the country. He was pissed off because he knew he won that election, and he knew Kennedy and his Daddy cheated. If we were exhibiting class, the writers of this movie would have just let that go, without the pot shots.
@@babycakes1402 first affirmative action president, first to make women's college sports as important as men's. Several Environmental !Acts, Clean Water, Clean Air. Desegregation of schools, aid for poor families, housing for poor families, voters rights. Nixon did more domestically than any president before him.
@@karinkesel5577 Friend, I started following politics as a 10 year old supporting Ronald Reagan in 1980. In the 43 years that have passed since I first came in, I have learned how the game works. From there, it becomes pretty easy to read about historical spin jobs and figure out who is telling what lie and for what reason. With Nixon, it is painfully obvious: he was the first one to tell Hoover to go screw himself, and then Hoover's little boyfriend did EXACTLY what Hoover had been threatening to others since the 40s.
Congrats to Martin Sheen His impersonation of JFK especially the voice, is almost as good as was that by Vaughn Meador. Not sure of the spelling but that man recorded a playful impersonation of JFK and family members. Needless to say, nobody wanted that record when the world lost Jack Kennedy. 2024/9/13 one Kennedy remains for us. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr who is the son of the one we called Bobby. Who was killed by Sirhan Sirhan in a hotel kitchen.
Martin Sheen just looks like Martin Sheen trying too hard to play JFK!… He’s 5’ 6” while JFK was 6’ 1” which makes him significantly shorter than the real JFK!
@@SusanCox-pl9qp You should watch William Devane as JFK in "The Missiles of October." He not only looked like JFK, he had the natural twang in his voice and didn't need to use a made-up accent like the others.
But for Martin Sheen, and one or two others, the acting was absolutely atrocious. It was objectively awful. Can't put it all on the actors, the writing was just as, if not even worse, than the acting. I can't remember the last time I've said something like that. I'm no movie critic, and have never presumed that I'm some kind of expert. It was terrible. It just was.
I will never stop posting this and suggestions to Kennedy family is stop having children. The Kennedy family is doomed forever and every great great great child will suffer due Rosemary. The most horrible story ever. She is looking down and yes there is Karma. I suggest maybe opening up a free billion dollar mental hospital to break the curse.
Listen, I am no saint. I understand that the rules were made by people who already have what you want, and do not want you to have any of it. I know that if you want to accomplish anything, the rules are on your list of opponents. So we choose our risks and we make our bets. If you play it straight, there is little risk but you probably won't become President of the United States by your early 40s. If you play it dirty and get in bed with the wrong people, you will certainly get ahead and be pushed to the front of the line. But those people may turn on you and you may not come home from Dallas. We choose our risks. We make our bets. Sometimes we lose. What has always amused me is the way everyone seems to need t treat JFK and his brother like they were a couple of saints. I do not think they were evil, but I KNOW They weren't saints. They are just two guys who made the wrong bets and came up short. I neither celebrate their deaths, nor cry for them. Now Teddy...Teddy was evil. I believe that the real curse on the Kennedy family is in the part where he is the one that lived to old age. But that is another topic.
As a woman, I don't see why everyone went on about The Kennedy men being handsome! They were scrawny, they looked short, had big foreheads, eyes too close together and entire face was off center plus their hair looked flippy fluffy and girly. I just don't see it.
The Dems are the ones who love to steal elections. We need to have the largest cities return their voting results first, don’t give them a chance to screw with votes- how many dead people can you get to vote - that’s a Democrat tactic forever
Sheen is about as believable as JFK as Nixon's Watergate speech was, why is he pulling his accent like that, Do the Brookline, Massachusetts elite speak like that, No they don't. 43:50 is probably the best scene in the film, three men in a dark room only Hoover speaking, slowly., menacingly. . A lot of money was spent making this and it came out looking like a mid-week TV mini-series, did someone say it is. . . could/should have been much better, the Kennedy family story and JFK, in particular, is what made America great, the rot set in the day he died, IMO, 🍀
Yeah right, forget all the other great Americans, it was the Kennedy's that made America great. Joe, a criminal,bootlegger, stock market manipulator, John a philandering cheat, Ted, an irresponsible sociopath who allowed a women to die and didn't report it to save his political career. Bobby, a sour crybaby.
@@ddivincenzo1194 It was "The Missiles of October" and I've always felt that William Devane was the gold standard when it came to playing JFK. He not only resembled JFK, but he had a natural twang in his voice which meant he didn't have to use a made up accent. There was some talk that Martin Sheen did not want to play JFK in "Kennedy", but the family talked him into it.
Excellent casting who all recreated the feeling of the times, personalities and challenges. I loved this production when it came out, and seeing it now, still hits perfect pitch.
I stood in a snowbank up to my knees to watch JFK make his inaugural speech. It thrilled me then and it still thrills me now. Regrettably, I also watched his funeral cortege in person just three short years later.
If it’s any consolation, we here in Australia cried with you. I was nearly 18 years old and idolized Jack and Jackie. They were so loved in Australia.

Not exactly. Not like that. He didn't know how to do a Boston accent.
