===Montage=== Most of the images used in the assassin training montage were of anonymous figures or important historical figures, featuring among others [[Richard Nixon]], [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Pope John XXIII]], and [[Lee Harvey Oswald]] (the photograph that [[Jack Ruby Shoots Lee Harvey Oswald|captures the moment Oswald is shot]]). The montage also uses a drawing of the [[Marvel Comics]] character ''[[Thor (comic book)|Thor]]'', as illustrated by [[Jack Kirby]]. The images are juxtaposed with caption cards showing the words 'LOVE', 'MOTHER', 'FATHER', 'HOME', 'ENEMY', 'HAPPINESS', and 'ME'. The montage "captures the confusion of post-Kennedy America" by demonstrating the decay of values and longstanding traditions.<ref name="esq"/> It has been compared to the brainwashing scene in [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s 1971 film ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]''.<ref name="NR">{{cite news|last=Smith|first=Kyle|date=August 14, 2020|title=The Political Noir for the Age of Assassination|url=https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/08/movie-review-the-parallax-view-seventies-liberal-paranoia-powers-thriller/|work=National Review|access-date=September 20, 2020|archive-date=September 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924161104/https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/08/movie-review-the-parallax-view-seventies-liberal-paranoia-powers-thriller/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="esq">{{cite news|last=Semley|first=John|date=November 20, 2013|title=The Best Scene in the Best Conspiracy Thriller Ever|url=https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a26032/the-parallax-view-scene/|work=Esquire|access-date=September 20, 2020|archive-date=December 5, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201205132231/https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a26032/the-parallax-view-scene/|url-status=live}}</ref>
