The Genesis of JFK
Oliver Stone had long been fascinated by the Kennedy assassination. In the early 1980s, he began to develop a screenplay about the event, but it wasn't until he met with Jim Garrison, the former New Orleans district attorney who had investigated the assassination, that the project really began to take shape.
Garrison had been a vocal critic of the Warren Commission, which had concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy. Garrison believed that there was a much larger conspiracy at work, and he convinced Stone that his film could help to expose the truth.
Casting the Film
Stone assembled an all-star cast for JFK, including Kevin Costner as Jim Garrison, Gary Oldman as Lee Harvey Oswald, Tommy Lee Jones as Clay Shaw, and Sissy Spacek as Liz Garrison.
Costner was initially reluctant to take on the role of Garrison, but he was eventually convinced by Stone's passion for the project. Oldman was also hesitant to play Oswald, but he ultimately agreed after meeting with Garrison and learning more about the man he would be portraying.
The Production
The production of JFK was a tumultuous one. Stone was constantly clashing with the studio over the film's budget and content. He also faced criticism from some of the actors, who were concerned about the film's accuracy and its potential to damage the reputations of innocent people.
Despite the challenges, Stone remained steadfast in his vision for the film. He shot the film in a documentary style, using handheld cameras and natural lighting. He also incorporated大量的 Real footage ofKennedy's life and assassination, making it feel as if the audience is witnessing the events unfold in real time.
The Release and Reception
JFK was released in December 1991 to critical and commercial success. The film grossed over $200 million worldwide and was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

In the years since its release, JFK has been the subject of countless articles, books, and documentaries. It has also been parodied and referenced in popular culture. The film's legacy is secure as one of the most important and controversial films of all time.
