Moving forward- I sound like a politician :D

 So under the wise guidance of the History Wizard I've decided that I well be using two films to create a comparison of the changing views and perspectives of JFK and his influence in the Cuban Missile Crisis or..something to that effect. I've already watched 'Thirteen Days'(2000) and I'm having trouble locating 'The Missiles of October'(1974). Thanks to Sir I'm moving forward with my project- Thanks, Sir! :) Edmodo post -They're films so I'm guessing both reconstructions aren't the most objective versions of what actually happened. Both have been constructed by directors seeing things from an american perspective and having the agenda to make the events as interesting as possible for viewing, probably dramatising the whole thing. They probably don't explain much of the causes and lead up to the crisis, like the bay of pigs incident, US Jupiter missiles in Turkey/Italy, Cuba's fear of invasion or attack from America and if they do its probably mostly bias in favor of the Americans. So, in my opinion, no they do not make 'good' history.. They offer an incomplete, bias to prospective, agenda driven, dramatised, subjective version of events. How can I compare them? I haven't seen them yet..BUT I'd say they each have been effected by there context differently and that the 2001 version probably has more sources of information - released at later dates and a broader 'revolutionary' view. They had different directors- each with different views/ideals?- Once again, any advice is welcomed with open arms and thanks.

Topic: John F Kennedy?

I have been reading into JFK and it seems there is a fair amount of historical controversy surrounding his life, presidency and assassination. Yeah, I know, obvious. So, I'm thinking I'm going to focus on his presidency and therefore aspects of his life but stay away from the assassination- Oh boy, those conspiracy theories are sure fun but his life is controversial enough (and complex) without his mystery death. Some pointers would be lovely and much appreciated !
