Shaw exudes Southern gentility. He has a taste for champagne, and for smoking cigarettes, stylishly, in holders. Such is the startling realism of JFK. Yet the structure of docudrama, which combines fact with fantasy, makes it possible for Stone to claim that his depiction is either allegorical or truthful, depending on how he is attacked.

All three unite homosexuality and right-wing extremism, with Ferrie and Shaw also cast as rogue intelligence operatives. This stereotype is descended from an older one, according to which the hyper masculine, misogynistic soldier-male of early fascism is attributed to repressed homosexuality—rather than to the homophobic culture that induces such repression. In fact the circumstances of the Kennedy assassination virtually allegorize the impossibility of unmediated access to history.

Inherent in this paranoia is the vilification of gays. Oswald is dismissed as a patsy, and in any case his heterosexuality too seems insecure, with doubts cast on his marital relationship with his wife. What is most striking about this location of gay men behind the murder is its extreme overdetermination. To cast the gay cabal into even more sharply degenerate relief, Stone constructs two righteous families for the film.

One, the Garrisons, is troubled but intact—and utterly two-dimensional; the other, the Kennedys, is a memory trace, but supplies the film with a critical mass of longing and desire. Significantly, it is to this disinterested, wholly dense woman that Stone assigns the responsibility of suggesting to her husband in one of many whiney fits of pique that perhaps his obsession with Shaw is homophobically fueled.

If the personality that Stone bestows on Liz Garrison were not enough to undermine this thought, it is swept away by the sheer momentum of historical events that he clearly considers more concrete. Soon after this spat, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy deepen the air of paranoia and mystery. How will this story make it to the screen? Stone, whose penchant for fashioning heroes he can identify with closely is well known, may have trouble identifying with the martyred Milk.
