Movie Review: Interestomg and provocative look at America's Queen
Summary: 4 Stars

Jaqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was not as perfect as she had to appear in the media, but was human like the rest of us. I had seen numerous specials on the Kennedys before, but (like the book of the same name) felt that both the positive and negative aspects of her character were covered in a fair manner.

Both in the book and this movie, I sensed that Jaqueline's frustration came less from her husband's daliances (after all, she was rumored to have several of her own)than from the fact that society expected her to behave like the prim and proper hausfrau more epitomized in her mother-in-law Rose. Jaqueline had much greater ambitions for herself as dramatized in the storyline.

Jaqueline revisited is a liberating figure because she is able to transcend these barriers while looking the part of the quintesential wife. To JFK's credit, he appears to have accepted it more than many other men of his generation. The fact that JFK grew unparalled closeness to her right before his infamous assaination is especially tearjerking.

One thing that I did not care for was the usage of the questionable Max Jacobsen. While this also proves just how prophetic the presidential couple were with their social behavior, it is also chilling at times. To think that two highly educated people would asociate with a shady character is downright scary.
