On the 50th Anniversary of JFK's assassination, I downloaded the National Geographic movie Killing Kennedy. I just watched it now and I gotta say the casting could've been better but I cried, I got angry, but I enjoyed it. I personally, found it hard to see Gin Goodwin as Jackie Kennedy. I guess its because I'm a Once Upon A Time junkie. I honestly think her and the actor who played Johnson would be the only two I would change. I also didn't like how minuscule Johnson's role was. He hated Kennedy. Johnson and Bobby hated each other too. I feel like the assassination would've been better if they showed the phone call he made to Bobby about the inauguration of him as president and the conflict of him & the Kennedy's on the plane. Every book I've read on the assassination said Johnson was very disrespectful to the Kennedy's once Jack was dead. There were a lot they cut out and there were a few inaccuracies during the 48 hours between JFK's Assassination and LHO's assassination. For example; They killed LHO off when he was going to see the press but he was actually killed when they were transferring him to the jail. That bothered me too. I just feel that when you call a movie "Killing Kennedy" the movie should've been about the murder. This movie would've had a bigger impact if it was focused on the first 48 hours rather than the missile crisis, and JFK's many affairs.
