"You can fool all the people some of the time. You can even fool some of the people all of the time. But you can't fool all of the people all of the time." People today who choose to condemn JFK for his womanizing and any other mistakes he made as a human being are entitled to do so. However, history should tell them that he was a man ahead of his time and spoke words that still ring true today.
I'm struck by how little security there was at the airport. When they were greeting the crowd, there were 2 or 3 uniformed police who moved with them holding the crowd back and only 3 or 4 Secret Service agents. At some points, he and Jackie were between the crowd and the agents and that one woman in white even suddenly jumped in front of Jackie and touched her. That never would happen today; there would be agents directly around them and one holding onto the President's belt, to pull him away and behind the agent if the agent perceived danger. There would be plainclothes agents and police in the crowd, watching them continually. And anyone who suddenly jumped in the path of the President and First Lady, even if their intention was benign, would almost certainly find themselves being grabbed by the Secret Service and probably removed from the venue in handcuffs. Heck, in 1987, a man, Edward Adcock jumped out in front of Princess Diana during a walkabout in Northumberland. He said he was trying to give her a hug; he was charged with indecent assault anyway.
There is no way people should have been able to run up to the President and Mrs.Kennedy and just touch them as was seen in this clip. I understand him wanting to be with the people, but the lack of security was careful. I in fact that’s how it was,that was an accident waiting to happen.
Look at the "man" in the white stetson at 7:17 - he's one of many mannequins used in this scene. Very strange as they don't seem short of extras. Once you notice it it's clearly so fake.
@@blakefrancis6635 Martin Sheen hams it up a bit on the Kennedy accent. Bruce Greenwood does a better job with speaking like JFK. He also looks a little like JFK as well.
Not exactly...JFK's actual last words were "you sure can't", in responding to Mrs Connally when she turned around to him and said "You can't say Dallas doesn't love you, Mr President" (the presidential limousine was making, or was about to make, that last sharp left turn onto Elm St from Houston St at that moment). Why it wasn't said that way in this film baffles me to this day even still. Alot of inaccuracies; l figure they just wanted to focus only on the basics.
A good movie, but alot of liberties taken, beginnng with the hotel speech scene: JFK originally wore a dark blue suit that morning at the short speech given outside at the Ft Worth hotel parking lot, and shortly later at a breakfast gathering at the Ft Worth Chamber of Commerce. He changed into the (infamous) blue-gray suit right before AF-1 arrived at Dallas Love Field airport. Also, it was cloudy & somewhat drizzly that morning at Fort Worth; Kennedy did not wear a raincoat, as everyone else did, yet its shown as very bright and sunny- almost mid-day. Furthermore, the airport scene is quite inaccurate: there's not much security noticed as the motorcade departs, with spectators running alongside; actual footage of when the motorcade left the area shows much to the contrary. In actuality, most of the spectators were kept back behind a fence and Kennedy did go to greet some of them before heading to the presidential limousine, which was situated out & away from the crowd. Only security & Secret Service would have been that close alongside like that, once the cars had started moving: spectators would've been waved away.
What if Kennedy in both Speculation and Theory wasn’t ever elected as the President Of The United States Beginning In the Year 1960 and what if he Either didn’t ever run or if he was taken out of History Completely and let’s say that Lyndon Johnson had ran and had become Elected President over Richard Nixon that November during the Presidential and General Election in Kennedy’s Place at that same exact time and exactly what would an Alternate Lyndon Johnson Presidency (1960 - 1968) have been like for Eight Long Possible Years and how and what would Lyndon Johnson have done from the very start of such an Alternate Presidency to begin with primarily having to handle such National And Foreign Issues such as the Freedom Riders ? And then The Bay Of Pigs Beginning In 1961 And then the Eventual Cuban Missile Crisis in October Of 1962 and the Space Race Itself Beginning with Alan Shepard’s Historic Flight As the First American in Space and would Johnson have still pressed for the Moon and the Eventual Apollo Program just as Kennedy had in Theory ? And also what would Lyndon Johnson have Done with Vietnam in an Alternate Scenario where he’s President and having been informed on the Death Of Diem on November 2nd Of 1963 and would the US have been sent straight into Saigon sooner than 1965 and exactly how long would a war with Vietnam have Lasted had Lyndon Johnson sent the US into Saigon sooner than 1965 following Diems Death In 1963 in Theory and would Johnson have also went to Dallas like Kennedy on the 22nd Of November of that year to Campaign for the 1964 Election ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Makes for (very) good food for thought. Or- suppose Nixon won in 1960 and again in 1964 ? 🤔 ...and Kennedy ran in 68 and 72, but lost in 72 to Reagan ? Lots of "what ifs". I seem to remember hearing of someone having made the quote "the only true history book was a time machine"...and that says it all !
He had Addison's disease which is why he had that sunking in look on his face. He would have succumbed to this disease early in life. Actress and actor closest likeness ever. 😏
Heres what i dont understand, ok kennedy wanted to be open and so everyone could see him so why did they put a transparent bullet proof glass to cover everyone in the car
I think you are referring to what they called the "bubble-top" it was primarily designed for visibility & to prevent rain, but (secretly) was not bulletproof. The Secret Service had still, nonetheless, objected to its being removed, and were justified in doing so; Vietnamese president Diem had been assassinated shortly before, & within the past several months, in Europe, French President De Gaulle had been the target of a number of close attempts on his life. Also, a month before Kennedys' visit, U.N. ambassador Adlai Stevenson had been assaulted and given a hostile reception at a political rally in Dallas. Plenty of reason for the Secret Service to be on guard !!
Did you know that it was Jackie who designed the colour scheme for the President's plane? True story.
I'm told she had also devised the red & blue color stripe design used by the Coast Guard (btw- very cool Starfleet uniform !!)

+Livingston Hampton Agree. John Kennedy's detractors probably committed many offenses of their own.
+Livingston Hampton Was that Lincoln's quote?
Abraham Lincoln is given credit for creating that quote. Which really says more about how far ahead of his times he was.
Livingston Hampton lbj and hoover and Nixon and Clinton were worse
I’m pretty sure President Lincoln originated this quote.
Best series ever
RIP John F Kennedy 😔😔😔
Crazy 20 years later. Good timing
words that will echo through the ages.

It’s a movie

Right. Ive seen video of JFK and Jackie getting out of a car and was surprised by how close the crowd of people were to them.
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays from 6:42 to 7:50?

It is just a slowed down version of The Stars and Stripe Forever.

With apologies to Natalie Portman, Blair Brown was the best Jackie ever.

In manor of keeping with realism Sheen is wearing the same Christian Dior Monsieur necktie Kennedy wore in Dallas.

I read and learned years ago that his baby son died in his arms.
If Kennedy hadn’t worn his neck brace he would have been alive past November 22 1963.
6:48 What kind of car is that?
I believe that's a Ford Mercury.
@@SantaWillNicholas Nevermind. It's a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. 😉❤
Intended to be a 1961 Lincoln Continental (limousine version, code-named SS-100-X by the Secret Service), but thinking its a later model
That was the very last of open car rides, how very sad , how I wish he had gone to Japan instead like he had Joked about.
Actors portraying Johnson and Mrs. Kennedy look very similar.
This LBJ is very creepy and sleezy.
