Cinephile No. 621 "Jackie"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

Have you ever imagined what it might be like to have your husband murdered in front of the whole world? Can you fathom the pain and overwhelming sense of loss? Now, imagine your husband is the President of the United States and you are the First Lady. "Jackie" tries to do all these things and more. Using source material, it asks us to come along for the journey. We are there from the first shots being fired to Jackie's last days in the White House. Thanks to another brilliant performance by Natalie Portman we are offered a first-hand account of what the pain we can never fully imagine must have felt like. We are offered a story that I won't soon forget. 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
