There were a
lot of things that I didn’t know about Jackie Kennedy that I found very
interesting after seeing this movie. She had a deep interest in history and had
the foresight to make the necessary steps and sacrifices, after JFK's assassination, to forever solidify
both of their names in the history books.
What I really
appreciated about this movie was its authenticity and accuracy. I felt like the
portrayal of Jackie Kennedy by Natalie Portman was spot on. I’m not a huge fan
of Natalie Portman but I felt like she did a really great job on embodying Jackie through her speech and nature. Jackie was a complicated person and wasn’t the most pleasant but I respected the fact that it was a real portrayal
and not dressed up differently for Hollywood purposes.
I think that
overall this movie was a little slow and dry. This wasn’t one I wanted to see
in theaters and was glad I saw it at home instead. Where it may have lacked slightly
in entertainment value it made up for in the compelling acting of the historical
context. For that reason I’d say, if you don’t know much about the aftermath of
the assassination of JFK, it’s definitely something that should be seen so I would
recommend checking it out.
