Oliver Stone basically boasts of two obsessions: the Kennedy assassination and his own obsession with the Kennedy assassination.

In other words, he is not only concerned with the most commented and analyzed assassination in the history of mankind, but also brings him down the street of bitterness that so few share his concern. What's more, if asked about the underlying reason for his obsession, he flinches. "By God, we should all be. Your malicious question shows just how necessary my film is," he says. And he continues to his. Let's say we are facing an obsession raised to the cube. As minimum.

And so that there is no trace of doubt, there is

JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass

, the documentary presented in the Cannes Premier section that, very briefly,

returns to the subject that already occupied it in 1991 in the film that redefined the limits of montage

. And he does it to make it clear that the autopsy was a botch, that the brain analyzed and preserved is not actually that of the president's corpse, that Lee Harvey Oswald did not shoot from the floor that was said ... And so on until making a document As exhaustive as it is strenuous, that rather than discovering any lagoon, it immerses itself up to the neck in each one of them.

"

What we forget is that Kennedy was the last president to fight for peace in the world

. He wanted to end the Cold War and make peace with Nikita Khrushchev. He wanted to reconcile with Cuba and he wanted to get along with Asia and Africa. Since then, there has not been any president like that and that is obviously the reason for everything that happened: the murder itself and all the infinite errors that the investigation accumulates, "he says by way of a prologue. And he continues: "The military sector is 30% of the current budget of the United States. And that is untouchable. The military do what they want and their job is to leave the president on the sidelines."

He says that it all started in 2013, when on the occasion of the anniversary of his death, and with the same amazement that he still maintains intact, he realized that the media repeated

the official story

with

an accomplice monotony without paying the least attention to the new ones. revelations that came to light with each new declassification of documents

(pending, yes, the final one in 2029). So, decided how he is and has shown in each episode of a filmography addicted to controversy, he went back to review everything and to contact the people involved in the case again. And that is where the investigator Mark Lane, the forensic doctor Cyril Wecht or the commander John Newman appear.

"What has become clear is that censorship exists in my country. It existed in the sixties and continues exactly the same.

We never listen to the views of the Russians, the Ukrainians or the Chinese," he

says to make it clear that his is the posture on the other side. For Stone reviewing the past is the best way to distance yourself from the present and become aware, perhaps, that mistakes are always the same.

"The United States has historically lived by making enemies. Russia, China, Iran or Venezuela are the new targets of the arms industry.

We have not yet understood that the only real war in which we are playing the future is the war against change. climate

and, to win, we need to be united ", he comments to immediately make it clear that his speech is for peace, like Kennedy's, not pacifist.

- Has any president been in a position to take over from JFK?

-Maybe Obama.

But

Obama's biggest concern during the presidency was not to be assassinated

.

That is why he ended up being so conservative.

Who said obsession?
