I am not sure why anyone thinks the gore seems so realistic and likes the effect put on this to make it look like it was filmed on some sort of 8mm tape. It was the assassination of a loved president, perhaps you are too young to understand the severity of such a sorrowful time in history. It was not made to look like a Hollywood movie, it was a real moment in time recorded for history and as it turned out a sad day and a big loss for our country.
