KERRY FILM DIRECTOR: THE BULLETS IN THE WATER WERE NOT FROM THE ACTUAL 
EVENT

The official convention video introducing John Kerry tonight, directed 
by Steven Spielberg protégé James Moll, incorporates homemade film 
footage shot by Kerry in Vietnam.

“I would have used archival footage,ö Moll tells the NEW YORK OBSERVER's 
Joe Hagan, “but it was a pleasant surprise that he had taken his own 
footage while in Vietnam.ö 

"When Army Green Beret Jim Rassman is talking about how John Kerry saved 
his life,ö he said, “I’m using some of that footage. It shows the swift 
boat and various shots of the swift boat, and some firing like you see 
in the water. Bullets in the water.ö 

Entering controversy, director Moll explains how the bullets in the 
water were not from the actual event. 

“It’s just illustrative.ö 

Moll mixes in the homemade Kerry film with stirring strings and a french 
horn soundtrack. 

Moll is said to manipulate the speed of some of the film. 

One moving scene shows Kerry in slow motion, in full gear, walking with 
his gun through the paddies.

Kerry's homemade films are at the center of a growing controversy in 
Boston.

A new bombshell book written by the man who took over John Kerry's Swift 
Boat charges:   Kerry reenacted combat scenes for film while in Vietnam! 
"Kerry carried a home movie camera to record his exploits for later 
viewing," charges a naval officer in the upcoming book UNFIT FOR 
COMMAND.  

"Kerry would revisit ambush locations for reenacting combat scenes where 
he would portray the hero, catching it all on film.  Kerry would take 
movies of himself walking around in combat gear, sometimes dressed as an 
infantryman walking resolutely through the terrain.  He even filmed mock 
interviews of himself narrating his exploits.  A joke circulated among 
Swiftees was that Kerry left Vietnam early not because he received three 
Purple Hearts, but because he had recorded enough film of himself to 
take home for his planned political campaigns."
