The JKF (Oliver Stone 1991) Conspiracy Controversy

Fact vs. Fiction à  Due  April 21, 2006

Does an artist have the right to modify history for dramatic effect?

 

Need papers examining the controversy about Oliver Stone’s version of the assassination.  The film is based on the actual Garrison hearing which first brought up the idea that the government was part of the conspiracy to assassinate the president. Many people were critical of the film.  The public was not satisfied with the findings of the Warren Commission.  The assassination is the pivotal event that helped to usher in a nation of paranoids, who fear big brother, lies, and secret societies.   

 

Will also accept papers on other topics:    9.11,    OKC Bombing,   Gulf  Wars,   Di Vinci Code

 

Requirements: Submit entries to Comp Instructor.         Sign a release form!

 

At least 5 typed pages with plenty of “reputable” sources; more is fine. MLA style is required.

 

This is an extra credit assignment…it is worth 100 points.  The best papers will be submitted to the contest for cash prizes and publication (details to be announced soon!)
