Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Parallax View is a 1974 conspiracy thriller film, directed by Alan J. Pakula and starring Warren Beatty, Hume Cronyn, William Daniels, and Paula Prentiss, about one reporter's search for the truth regarding a political assassination.TV reporter Joe Frady (Beatty) is among the many people to witness the assassination of US Senator and possible presidential candidate Charles Caroll (William Joyce), who is shot while campaigning at a restaurant atop Seattle's Space Needle.note It's modeled on RFK's assassination rather than JFK's, but still. Three years later, he is approached by his ex-girlfriend and fellow reporter Lee Carter (Prentiss), who claims to have been one of a few witnesses to see a second gunman, and tells him that someone is killing these witnesses. In spite of her fears that she's next, Frady brushes her off, only to learn the next day that she's been killed in a car accident. Now suspicious, Frady begins to investigate, and discovers the late Caroll was linked to the shady Parallax Corporation. He decides to infiltrate one of their programs, and the danger grows.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Despite its convoluted, unlikely conspiracy plot, this is a great thriller embodying Seventies paranoia in the aftermath of the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, Vietnam, and Watergate. Coincidentally enough, the movie was released at the same time impeachment hearings against President Richard Nixon were underway. | |

Affably Evil: Sheriff L.D. Wicker. Sure, he's a Dirty Cop in on the conspiracy, but he's rather friendly and accommodating to Frady, and even brings him lunch before trying to kill him. | |

The Alcoholic: Frady used to be this, but he kicked the habit a few years before the movie. | |

Agent Scully: Bill is rather dismissive of Frady's claims of a conspiracy, doubting everything he says until he gets shown evidence. Even then, Bill doesn't treat it with the gravity it deserves, resulting in him getting killed by an assassin he dismissed as a new employee. | |
