The Manchurian Candidate

            Subject: Recommendation about The Manchurian Candidate.
             I would like to first state that President John F. Kennedy's assassination was a very tragic incident that touched the hearts of many around the world. He hoped for both the equal rights of Americans and the peace of the world. He will always be remembered not only because of his young age but as a great person as well. I realize that government officials have been urging you to withdraw The Manchurian Candidate out of respect for President Kennedy, and because of tensions with the Soviet Union. I really feel it isn't necessary to take that route of action. On behalf of everyone who has worked on the film including the executives and myself I believe we are very respectful and understanding towards this controversy. Yet I feel our hard work and dedication shouldn't go on pause because the United States and the Soviet Union are on thin ice. .
             To be honest with you Mr. Stowe, we defend ourselves and this movie from a quote by Raymond Shaw when he says, "There are two kinds of people in this world: Those that enter a room and turn the television set on, and those that enter a room and turn the television set off."[The Manchurian Candidate] This clearly describes the feelings of both sides on this issue. If a person wants to watch this movie he can, but if he doesn't want to he has the option not to watch or support the movie. An example of this is in the movie when Raymond Shaw was brainwashed to follow specific orders every time he saw a queen of diamonds. In the end he prevailed to finish off the communists even though it was his mother who started it all. I think it would be a disappointment to the actors, faculty, and producers if we withdraw the film so it's obvious where I stand.
             Our film should stay in motion because it depicts the truth and honesty of what really happens in the cold war. Some have argued that The Manchurian Candidate may influence ideas to other countries about spies and may even show some weaknesses on our part, but I think the U.

5. JFK Assassination

The JFK Assassination Theories: Where Logic, Fact, and Fantasy Intermingles As students of history, we are taught to think, study, and work in a scholarly manner. When studying a person or a major event, we are taught to make assertions based on hard, factual information, and stay away from making assertions based purely on speculation, here-say, or opinion. But in certain realms of history this is ignored, and imaginations run wild. Fantasy is made into logic and fact, fact and logic discredited as fantasy, and eventually the story is so twisted that the real logic and facts are soon l...
