“Parkland” Director Peter Landesman Slams Oliver Stone’s “JFK”

“Parkland” Director Peter Landesman Slams Oliver Stone’s “JFK”

On the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Peter Landesman has so pretty harsh words for “JFK” director Oliver Stone.

The “Parkland” helmsman, who did plenty of his own research on the tragedy before making his flick, is convinced, “Oliver Stone’s film is an interesting fairytale… but it’s bullsh*t.”

Starring Paul Giamatti, Zac Efron, and Marcia Gay Harden, “Parkland” is the story of the people and events surrounding JFK’s death, including those of Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

As for “JFK,” Peter noted, “I was actually angry… You're telling me the Cubans and the homosexuals and (President's brother) RFK and (Vice-president) LBJ and the CIA all got together, with Fidel Castro as cheerleader and all 15,000 met at Madison Square Garden and came up with one plan? That makes a lot of sense. Come on!"

He added, "I was in New York on 9/11, and remembered what it was to live in fear in your own home town. I thought... that's the movie, the assassination happened to us, JFK was a spectator, even Jackie was a spectator. We put that man in office and he was taken away from us, he wasn't a king who inherited the crown, he was our president and he was ripped away, and that's the genus of this."
