OVER BLACK SCENE CARD

JFK Makes Evidence a Maze Instead of an Answer

Jfk (1991) ยท Zapruder-film reconstruction / courtroom conspiracy argument

The film is useful because evidence multiplies pressure instead of closing it. Film frames, diagrams, testimony, and official language become a maze of competing authority.

Why it works

The reconstruction sequences make the audience handle proof as unstable material. Every image promises clarity, then exposes another institutional frame around the image.
