...? The Shock of Oliver Stone's JFK By mixing truth with rumor and historical records with heavily directed scenes, Oliver Stone created a film that comes close to defining its own genre in JFK.

...features that immediately must be considered is a condition that Lukacs refers to as reification. An elucidation of reification will reveal how the commodities structure penetrates and transforms all aspects of bourgeois society and indeed transforms thought within capitalist society.
