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.

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.
