JFK

One thing that is great about Oliver stone is that he is willing to accept that he is working in fiction, and thus it allows him to get out of control with his theories if he is trying to dissect a certain moment in history. The reason that this is good is because the truth is always the strangest possible thing, and until one is willing to take that leap from the logical into the purely outrageous they cannot know the truth. If everything made sense, than everything would be solved. The truth of the matter is that when a president is killed, and a lot of odd events surround the killing, than one must be willing to think outside of the box. A lone gunman is the most obvious answer. There's tons of crazy people in america and it only seems natural that someone would want to kill the president. But, it is also just as likely the people inside the government that dont like the president could figure out a way to have him killed quietly. A lot of peole are not willing to do expose these things. Although stone may have started out with thinking that he is not going to make an honest story, he definately thought he ended a film with what really happened to JFK. Stone is good like that, and it's a shame that he didn't put that same willingness to question conspiracy surrounding the government when he made world trade center.
