Review of Parkland (2013) by Pavement — 17 Nov 2013
What a load of irrelevant crap!
Parkland gives tiny superficial glimpses of tiny parts of the perspectives of a handful of individuals in Dallas:
The young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital;.
Dallas’s chief of the Secret Service;.
Abraham Zapruder;.
The FBI agents who were visited by Lee Harvey Oswald before the shooting;.
The brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family;.
And JFK’s security team, witnesses to both the president’s death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s rise to power.
Apparently Oswald said practically nothing to his brother when they had a conversation in the police station.
He didn't claim innocence or guilt.
Was this encounter fictionalized?
The film is "based on the true events" which means absolutely nothing.
Emory Roberts seems to be the only one blamed for any wrongdoing that has opened the events up to conspiracy theories. He is shown to have been the main man preventing an autopsy at Parkland hospital.
These were the only 2 elements of the film that were even remotely interesting.
