LBJ1968
What makes this film worth watching?
"Although it is never made explicit, L.B.J. suggests by association that a connection can be made between the three assassinations [of Martin Luther King and the Kennedy brothers] and Johnson's rise to power." - Peter Rist, Offscreen

This was a waste of my viewing time. Meaningless, disconnected imagery suggesting a malicious connection between Kennedy and Johnson that adds nothing to our understanding of the power struggle between them. A dumb piece of work.
This doesn't exactly obliterate the conspiracy theory that the Cubans shot JFK.
I think this is worth watching if you have a grasp of the politics and want to see something different done to what we normally characterize as the Sixties. I do not think it is meant to be an explanation of who LBJ actually was, but rather a film that weaves together ideas through imagery. It definitely leaves you with weird feelings, but in a good way. I think you have to be open to seeing how a story can be told differently rather than thru traditional narrative,
