Since I have a bit of time, and you seem so knowledgable, I'd like to say more, ask more, about the Zapruder film.
I have not studied the Kennedy assasination in any great detail. I have spent a lot more time studying U.S. government_American Indian "relations", 9/11, U.S. Space Program, Public Funding of medical research issues MagnumOpus. As is the case with most Americans, the Kennedy assination does interest me.
When I see something like the Zapruder film, and when I say "see", I mean in addition to watching it, becoming aware of how it was said to have been made and how LIFE came to own the film, I think first and foremost that they want me to see this thing so that I am swayed in some particular way. Not that the film was shot on a set, but that it was intentionally made this way by orchestrating the assination to go down and be filmable just like we do wind up seeing it in the Zapruder film, from just that vantage with or without some editing.
So as best I can tell, Kennedy's death is so captured here. But how was it that the film was created just like this? Because what I do know is that there is no way this thing was spontaneous. The driver slowed, people were standing here and there for one particular reason or another. And speaking to this was the genesis of my questions?
How was this Zapruder film staged? How was it tampered with? Zapruder must be a player here. How is it possible foir this guy to film this thing and not know what was going down?
Can you give me a single or several reliable references that address the Zapruder film issue MagnumOpus? I would like to educate myself. Thank you.edit on 20-8-2012 by patrick1000 because: seem so, just like we do wind up seeing it in the Zapruder film, standing

I'm only commenting on the description you quoted: I don't see Kennedy being hit "from the rear" in the head. The shot comes from the front, right-side. Also where is the shot that hit his neck?

So you're saying that a bullet hit JFK's "lower back" causing him to grab his neck, and then it exited from the front of his neck and hit the windshield? That doesn't make sense to me. How can a shot fired from behind JFK hit his lower back and move up to his neck, unless JFK is upside-down? Wouldn't an exit wound from the front of the neck cause a gaping wound? The neck wound in the autopsy photos look as though it's an entrance wound, because it's so small. Also, after looking at the Zapruder film in slow motion, it still looks like the shot to the head comes from the front, right-side from a higher position than level with the car, therefore from the "grassy knoll" area. I've never seen anything in the Zapruder film to show otherwise. Are we in disagreement, or am I misunderstanding you?
