      That's from Stone's first film on JFK, no? I haven't yet seen Through the Looking Glass.

        Yep, that’s from the first JFK.

        Through the Looking Glass is a full blown documentary and not a dramatization (unlike JFK), but I thought it was great and highly recommend it.

        My favorite scene of any movie. I was on the edge of my seat with my eyes glued to every frame. Every piece of the movie is threaded together in that climax :chefs-kiss: .

        This copy is better quality I think.
