À propos de ce film

November 22, 1963 is a day that changed the world forever when beloved American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. PARKLAND is the true story behind that tragic day, told from the vantage point of individuals who are forced to make split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event that will change the world's landscape forever: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the unwitting cameraman who captured what has become the most examined film in history, the FBI Agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson who had to take control of a country in a moment's notice. Thrust into a scenario with unimaginable consequences, these key figures respond with shock, outrage, determination and courage. Woven together, their seemingly disparate perspectives create one of the most thrilling and powerful stories never told.

Notes et avis

I enjoyed it. Short but well done. Covering the events that happened at the Kennedy assassination that day and days following, it was interesting to see the perspective from the hospital, Zapruder, and Oswald's brother.

Loved the facts that were unknown to most people, I.e. Air Force One had to be cut up to fit the coffin, what Oswald's family had to experience, etc. Excellent actors, must see!

I was truly touched by the transparent, sheer, sensitive and yet even raw and crude side of the human spirit and character shown thru the different personalities throughout this film.
