| User ReviewX. TConner takes footage from the Zaptruder film and other footage of JFK on the day of his death and adds to the soundtrack of radio announcers covering the event. The most powerful part of the film was when we hear the few minutes after the assassination has taken place the screen become a flicking black and white flickering strobe, as the shocked and confused voice of the newscaster is all we are given as to what is happening. |
| User ReviewCharles PBruce Conner's short film, Report, is an avant-garde documentary that focuses on the day of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas of 1963. What we see is a bunch of news footage of that day, plus some unrelated footage, that features previous wars, advertisements for american consumer goods and even the famous scene from James Whale's Frankenstein where the doctor creates the monster. The soundtrack features a bunch of news reports from that day, which makes it more intense to hear how that situation evolved. It's a pretty interesting little film. A film that haunts us, with its repeating and unconventional imagery. Thumbs up. |
| User ReviewJeff BA unique film that uses various found footage and other visuals combined with news reports of John F. Kennedy arriving and later assassinated in Dallas to recreate the various emotions of the people who experienced and reported on these events first-hand. |
| User ReviewScott RIf this was audio-only, it's be 5 stars. This is great to listen to without the video (since about 1/3 of the film is taken up by blackness and flashes of white, which is extremely irritating). It's strange and sad to juxtapose the death of the president with the secret service assuring the press that the president was going to be fine. |
