Kenny James I agree with you 100% Donald Sutherland just absolutely blew me away as well. This scene shows two great actors flowing and taking the audience to a whole new level of 'Thinking'.
The mayor in The Dark Knight had a better protection detail in that parade scene than the President did in Dallas that day. Remember in The Dark Knight when that window opens up and you see police snipers immediately firing at it?
In the video below, an actor does a very good job of enacting the Mr X speech. Video Title: Movie Monologues: Mr. X. Donald Sutherland, JFK Uploader: President Polo /watch?v=aotHB5dIhMw
Right after he says “who has the power to cover it up?” The shot cuts to these two men with the Washington monument in the background. Perfect editing.
This scene gets me everytime i watch the movie so well done and the music that goes with it is perfect it really makes one think about the whole thing.✌💙👍 from Scotland
ANd no one ever even asked why JFK's cursed DRIVER put the brakes on when it was clear they were under fire. He all but stopped the car and posed JFK for the head-shot.
Putting JFK's car first was miles off standard order. If you've been under fire coming down the street (even "fireworks" is a no-no), an agent is trained to haul instant ass, and his way is clear. Instead, as I said he "all but stopped" and multiple witnesses say so. You can see him turn full-around to watch the last shot, and only then somehow he knows what to do? "Oswald alone"----please.
I've read the book JFK: The CIA, Vietnam and the plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy by Fletcher Prouty, along with They Killed Our President by Jesse Ventura. Both these books put together totally blow the lid off the Warren Commission report.
Whether Oliver Stone intended to or not, the whole movie (not just this scene) illustrates how easily a person can get sucked into the numerous conspiracy theories, can get spun around in circles, and wind up going in all directions.
Oliver Stones movie lead directly to the formation of the Assassination Records Review Board that discovered and made public the Northwoods document. Talk shit all you want. Oliver Stone did America the biggest favor any movie maker has ever been able to give. Ever heard of Doug Horne? Here ya go. You are welcome. The second link is an interview with the man this X character was based on. Notice he says the exact same things X does in this scene. Stone was more accurate than you realize from the slander he has gotten. ua-cam.com/video/svDEw3Jgkw8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/BJ0zLoy9FKM/v-deo.html
clyde you're a fucking moron if you still believe that after looking at the evidence. You can't debunk a single thing in this movie. Not a single point. You must be lacking basic common sense if you think there was any less than 2 shooters
I'm talking about the shooting don't change the subject. If you actually believe there was only one shooter you have either never looked at any facts or you are stupid
You have to be extremely uneducated or something. Not only is the video of the incident extremely strong evidence, but the fact that it's impossible to fire three shots from a bolt action sniper, in less than 6 seconds and hit your target, and somehow manage to stroll away casually from the crime scene, and then shoot a police officer, which witnesses claim he didn't, and then go to the cinema and not pay despite having money and then having a shit ton of cops show up as if they knew somehow, and then he gets shot for the stupidest ever reason. Bullshit. There were multiple snipers spotted, multiple gunshots, different directions, different witnesses, Lee was framed, it's obvious. Lee Harveys shooting skills were deemed decent at best, by the way.
Jamie Whitefield No it wasn’t ! If you bother to research the man who opened it testified the reasoning behind it ! Why is it so many people watch this movie and swear it’s the truth ! It’s full of lies !!
Jason Raczkowski So how did RFK take a call from Hoover telling him about the shooting then? Google the 'JFK 100' - it's a website by a chap who has researched and (more importantly) referenced everything, and can categorically prove that the phones did not go down. He even highlights someone who was in DC at the time bringing Oliver Stone up on it, and Stone couldn't reply. Why? Because he made it up.
+Dominick Fischer he was a huge threat to the establishment. think about it he wouldn't invade cuba during the missile crisis. he Blundered the bay of pigs and got over 1000 Cia agents killed. he pulled out of operation mongoose he pulled of operation Northwoods. he was set to abolish the federal Reserve on November 25th 1963 and replace everything with silver notes to prevent future deficits. he eliminated the oil depletion allowance. he went after US steel and accused them of price fixing and asked them to lower their pricing . he was ready to pull out of Vietnam when the military badly wanted a war . he pulled out of Laos which pissed off the military and Cia . he was accused of communist pandering because the Berlin Wall happened under his watch . civil rights was heating up and he was very unpopular in the south with desegregation and abolishing jim crow laws . it was a perfect storm and unfortunately for jfk he was 50 years ahead of his time . all those stances are popular today . but at the height of the cold war and the height of segregation, those stances we're not popular. plus rfk went after the mafia that helped get jfk elected . plus hoover was in tight with the mob . plus all of jfk sexua l affairs were embarrassing the administration. Marilyn Monroe, mary meyer, Judith campbell, and others . it was just a perfect storm .
This entire scene and really the whole movie, except for a few snippets of truth here and there, is pretty much total B.S. Not only that but what Oliver Stone didn't put in the movie was what really sets this movie as an act of fiction.
Believe what you want to, but William Greer took the kill shot. Watch the Zapruder film. Not the one in black in white the orignal in color. Also watch the unzoomed version. Kind of hard not to see Greer pull a pistol and turn around.
Do we know if Greer was left handed? If he was not, it would be a little iffy that he would be given the task of the fatal shot. But, the driver slowed the vehicle to an almost stop when the headshot came which means the driver could have physically made the shot.
Yes. As the motorcade suddenly accelerated, the secret service agent fell backward, whom was semi standing in the back seat of another car. This caused him to pull back on the trigger of his long gun as he fell backward. The type of ammo in his weapon would have created the type of devastating wound the President received.
sadly the book mortal error (or the documentary based on it , the smoking gun ) is not what you think it is . firstly not one witness inside the queen mary (thats the secret service follow up car) or outside it said they saw hickey fire or that they heard a shot from his direction . not one piece of ballistic evidence points to his gun and the ammo it used , which it should have if he fired . unless of course you wish to assert that the ballistics evidence was tampered with . that would put all the ballistics evidence in serious doubt . hickey and two others sued the author / publishers etc of that book . they had to settle the 3 lawsuits . they waited till hickey died and resurected this nonsense in a video . half the video was about howard donahue saying oswald did it alone , the other half saying hickey fired the fatal shot . what the video didnt mention was that donahue was actually involved in pushing the theory that hickey killed jfk while going on tv saying oswald fired all shots . either way donahue gained .
RIP Donald Sutherland. You were a great actor
Donald Sutherland does a great job of doing exposition. A extremely hard thing to do in any movie for TV show.
You are so right!
Sutherland should had won an Academy Award for this powerful scene!
Every time i see this scene it blows me away. Donald Sutherland is the Man!

this was the whole movie right here
a masterclass in understated acting
this is acting folks. donald hits it out of the ballpark. this is one of my favorite scenes in the entire film.
Mine too 👍 it's phenomenal

This scene alone made a good movie a great movie !
this is maybe the most chilling thing I have seen
One of the best performances! The subtle hand gestures, eye movements! Good job!
Someone needs to upload the Mr. X appearance in it's entirety
Somebody did and it was taken down.

I love it how trolls try to discredit Fletcher Prouty.....Yeah, he had that job....no disputing

There coming for you Mayorkas... Everyone knows you were behind the hit...
R.I.P JFK
it's all a game and citizens are the pawns
Uhhh yea!
After viewing the film in '91, this JFK assassination buff wondered why Stone based his film on Jim Garrison. Why not Mark Lane instead?
LarryRickenbacker Investigative Journalist V Crusading District Attorney...
Which sounds better ?
Why isn't the full scene available anywhere? The dialog that follows (Coup d'Etat) is on UA-cam but that still doesn't cover the whole scene.
Where can you find the whole scene of X online? This is the most powerful scene in the whole movie! 🎥

"They never would have let a man open an umbrella." Seriously lol
Of course you dont let a man open an umbrella. He could easily be hiding a gun in iy.
Secret Service is actually like that, especially because most of texas at the time didnt like or support JFK
And the umbrella was opened as a protest to Joe Kennedy Sr.
@@shanet5604 opening the umbrella was a signal!
Jamie Whitefield No it wasn’t ! If you bother to research the man who opened it testified the reasoning behind it ! Why is it so many people watch this movie and swear it’s the truth ! It’s full of lies !!
Sutherland is brilliant --though he makes a few prononciation errors-- in one of my favorite scenes ever.
@clyde8her stfu u nazi troll

I think the phones going out was a coincidence or something.
+Ester Samuels The phones never went out. Look into it. Oliver Stone made it up.
No coincidence, it was planned

+Dominick Fischer he was a huge threat to the establishment.
think about it
he wouldn't invade cuba during the missile crisis. he Blundered the bay of pigs and got over 1000 Cia agents killed.
he pulled out of operation mongoose
he pulled of operation Northwoods.
he was set to abolish the federal Reserve on November 25th 1963 and replace everything with silver notes to prevent future deficits.
he eliminated the oil depletion allowance.
he went after US steel and accused them of price fixing and asked them to lower their pricing .
he was ready to pull out of Vietnam when the military badly wanted a war . he pulled out of Laos which pissed off the military and Cia .
he was accused of communist pandering because the Berlin Wall happened under his watch .
civil rights was heating up and he was very unpopular in the south with desegregation and abolishing jim crow laws .
it was a perfect storm and unfortunately for jfk he was 50 years ahead of his time . all those stances are popular today . but at the height of the cold war and the height of segregation, those stances we're not popular.
plus rfk went after the mafia that helped get jfk elected . plus hoover was in tight with the mob .
plus all of jfk sexua l affairs were embarrassing the administration. Marilyn Monroe, mary meyer, Judith campbell, and others .
it was just a perfect storm .

jordan costello Who's William Greer?
the driver of his limo
Do we know if Greer was left handed? If he was not, it would be a little iffy that he would be given the task of the fatal shot. But, the driver slowed the vehicle to an almost stop when the headshot came which means the driver could have physically made the shot.
A secret service agent fired the fatal shot by mistake.
I agree. I read that book
Yes. As the motorcade suddenly accelerated, the secret service agent fell backward, whom was semi standing in the back seat of another car. This caused him to pull back on the trigger of his long gun as he fell backward. The type of ammo in his weapon would have created the type of devastating wound the President received.
Interesting new theory
Zeca V1 read some more books
sadly the book mortal error (or the documentary based on it , the smoking gun ) is not what you think it is . firstly not one witness inside the queen mary (thats the secret service follow up car) or outside it said they saw hickey fire or that they heard a shot from his direction . not one piece of ballistic evidence points to his gun and the ammo it used , which it should have if he fired . unless of course you wish to assert that the ballistics evidence was tampered with . that would put all the ballistics evidence in serious doubt .
hickey and two others sued the author / publishers etc of that book . they had to settle the 3 lawsuits . they waited till hickey died and resurected this nonsense in a video . half the video was about howard donahue saying oswald did it alone , the other half saying hickey fired the fatal shot . what the video didnt mention was that donahue was actually involved in pushing the theory that hickey killed jfk while going on tv saying oswald fired all shots . either way donahue gained .
