The Zapruder film is a silent 8mm color motion picture sequence shot by Abraham Zapruder with a Bell & Howell home-movie camera, as United States President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.

Unexpectedly, it ended up capturing the President’s assassination.

Its surprising to many with him “freezing” right before the hit? like he locks up.

He is e’s freezing up because he just got shot in the neck.

Furthermore, he suffered from sever back pains for most of his life and at this instant was wearing a stiff brace to support it. With this in place, he wasn’t able to slouch as would be expected after the first shot through the neck, but rather held him erect and vulnerable to the lethal shot. This rigid support also possibly helps give the appearance of the ‘third shot,’ back and to the left.

Also many are shocked by his arms coming up like wings is an involuntary.
