_Parkland_ is an interesting movie that offers a unique insight into the events immediately following President Kennedy's assassination. While the film was decent overall, I couldn't help but feel that it could have been better. The pacing felt slow at times, and some of the character development seemed rushed. Despite this, the film did a good job of capturing the emotions and chaos of the historical moment. While it may not be a perfect movie, it provides a fascinating look at a critical moment in US history.

Based on Vincent Bugliosi's book, Four Days in November, the film Parkland chronicles the events following the assassination of JFK. What I liked about this film was how it tells a part of the story that isn't widely known. From the doctors at the hospital, working on the President, to the acquisition of the Zapruder film, Parkland goes behind the scenes to tell the untold story. I was also impressed with how the film managed to stick to the facts and not dwell on any of the conspiracy theories that surround the case. Zac Efron stars and really wasn't all that great. I think that Efron needs to stick to what he does best, taking his cloths off and making people laugh. While the film is kind of slow, I really enjoyed Paul Giamatti's portrayal of Abraham Zapruder, the man who filmed the assassination. Zapruder really struggled with releasing the tape to the media and the events he witnessed ultimately destroyed his life. Giamatti's portrayal of the man is supposedly spot on and truly deserves an honor mention. Parkland gives us a lot of new information about the events that followed the assassination of President Kennedy, but a lot of it are things the general public really aren't that interested in learning about. For a Kennedy aficionado, this film must of been eye opening, as for the rest of us, it was an interesting, non-bias view of history, albeit a little boring.

Parkland shows how was the life of some people who were involved in the death of President John F. Kennedy. From the chaos, disbelief and horror at Parkland hospital that received President Kennedy (along with the disorder in the sad trip back to Washington with Kennedy's coffin), the suffering of who had the sad 'privilege' of filming great detail the murder, as the family of Lee Harvey Oswald took the stain to be related to the person murderer Kennedy. No shows ridiculous conspiracy theories, and focuses on the great historical or political moments, but shows us how, on any given day, these people took this unexpected horror. Not for nothing the best movie in the world, but it is certainly interesting to see this view of such an important and sad day in history. ---------------------------------------- Parkland nos muestra como fue la vida de algunas personas que se vieron involucradas en la muerte del Presidente John F. Kennedy. Desde el caos, la incredulidad y el horror en el hospital Parkland que recibió al Presidente Kennedy (junto con el desorden en el triste viaje de regreso a Washington con el ataúd de Kennedy), el sufrimiento de quien tuvo el triste "privilegio" de filmar con lujo de detalle el asesinato, al como la familia de Lee Harvey Oswald asumió la mancha de ser pariente de quien asesino a Kennedy. No nos muestra las ridículas teorías de conspiración, ni se centra en los grandes momentos históricos o políticos, sino que nos muestra como, en un día cualquiera, estas personas asumieron este inesperado horror. No es para nada la mejor película del mundo, pero sin duda es interesante ver este punto de vista de un día tan importante y triste en la historia.

Not too impressed. Nothing I didn't already know and the acting wasn't that great given the caliber of actors involved.

A very brief account of the JFK assassination. I would have liked to see more depth although there were some interesting facts throughout the film.
