About the NBC film, they did an excellent job at one thing: keeping James Bookhout's face away from the camera. You never see it. You see all the other faces, but not his, and it was because he was James Bookhout.
This triplet captures the switcharoo that they did right in the middle of a 40 foot walk. And the very idea of that is preposterous. Oswald wasn't an actress or a princess. He was supposed to be a murderer. You don't do close-ups on murderers. You show them; you show what is happening to them; but it's sick to hone-in on them and treat them like a celebrity.
What would have been so terrible about shooting the 40 foot walk to the car without interrupting it? Why did they have to treat Oswald like a model on the walkway or the starlet on the red carpet? You just shoot the guy as he's walking to the car, and you leave the camera alone. You wouldn't change the lens in the middle of the 40 foot walk. Nobody would. Hell no!
Look, we've seen footage of Presidents walking as far Oswald walked, with it being done without changing the lens in the middle of it. When was the last time you watched the news and you saw Biden or Obama or any other President making an entrance somewhere, and suddenly it went to a curtain shot and then came back closer? Well, if they don't do it for Presidents, why would they do it for Oswald?
It had nothing to do with him. It had everything to do with the introduction of James Bookhout and making sure that he wouldn't be seen.
So, here is how it went down. On the left is the opening perspective. In the center is the curtain screen (which is never done in the normal filming of current events, and I don't want to hear any lipflapping about it either. Just post the video of a news segment that did it). And on the right is what it went to.
Now, that is NOT the same perspective, and when you watch it, you see a jump. It seems like Detective Montgomery jumps from being behind Oswald to being behind Graves. It's like he's playing hopscotch. It's like in a flash, he scoots over.
And that's the reason why they needed the curtain shot because if they just butted the two together, then Montgomery's Before and After would have been jarring to the eyes. The curtain shot softens it.
If it were the same perspective, but just closer in, then everyone's relative position would remain the same. But, on the left, notice that Montgomery is behind Oswald. On the right, notice that he is behind Graves.
So, it is a different perspective, Notice on the right that, it shows a tall man with a very rectangular face. You don't see him on the left. and believe me, the transition occurs very fast. That curtain shot, the only way I could get it was by slowing the video down to .25 of speed. So, we are talking about a tiny fraction of a second. Debbie the Christian didn't notice it all. She told me there was no curtain. But, I assure you that curtain is from the film.
And I have to laugh because the idiots think that in a tiny fraction of a second, the cameraman stopped and spun the wheel to move it to the other lens. He did that in a tenth of a second?
People: it really was James Bookhout in the garage pretending to be Jack Ruby. Jack Ruby was upstairs on the 5th floor in his underwear at the time. And that's part of the record. Both his lawyer Elmer Getz and Attorney Vincent Bugliosi said it in their books. Why did they have to keep Ruby in his underwear? Well, they had to give his suit to Bookhout to wear. And, they had to get his paperwork from Western Union, which said 10:17, and replace it with false paperwork that said 11:17. Did you know know that Ruby told the Warren Commissioners that he sent the money wire at 10:17? It's true.
