I think this is possibly the most important thing about all of this. It provides a historically accurate launching pad for those who know little or nothing about the assassination. And let's face it, a tv show or movie is naturally going to be more likely to draw people in than a book, no matter how well written. All of us here know that there is soooo much to learn for those inclined, and hopefully this movie will bring in a bunch of them. The makers of this movie did a wonderful thing, if for no other reason than this.
