Bobby
I have got to see this movie. I was 13-years-old when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated and I remember it well. The country was still busy mourning the loss of his brother, president John F. Kennedy, and then there was Martin Luther King’s assassination. Bobby’s’ murder was the last nail in the coffin of freedom, of what I am absolutely convinced would have been a different country today if these three men hadn’t been stricken down and silenced. I know in my heart that these killings were not done out of a personal vendetta or because the assassins were nuts. It goes much deeper than that and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.
Anyway, to the movie synopsis.
Yahoo Movies says, “A re-telling of the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968. The film follows 22 individuals who are all at the hotel for different purposes but share the common thread of anticipating Kennedy’s arrival at the primary election night party, which would change their lives forever. This historic night is set against the backdrop of the cultural issues gripping the country at the time, including racism, sexual inequality and class differences.”
The cast list…I’m speechless. I have new respect for Emelio Estevez. I never knew he was this brilliant. I saw a clip of him on Entertainment Tonight where he was crying when he listened to his brother, Charlie Sheen, saying how proud he was of him and described the movie as the pinnacle of his career. Can you say, uh, yeah?
