Subject: Bobby- Film Review

If you are old enough to have protested the Vietnam war, if you are old enough to have been saddened when Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, this film will break your heart! I have rarely been so moved and emotionally affected by a film...

Well written, and well acted with small vignettes that come together in that kitchen at the back of the Ambassador hotel...

The scene between Sharon Stone and Demi Moore is superbly played by two older actors... touching on that topic... subtlely.

Listening to the clips of RFK that are interspersed through the film, you realize how this was the end of an era.. the end of a politician who spoke with eloquence and passion and articulateness about the horror of violence on our society, the horror of class divisions and race divisions.. still timely today.. except we have no politicians of this stature today.. just friggin sound bite and spin.. actually I was reminded a bit of John Edwards.. talking about poverty in this country...


Sitting in the theater.. I remembered, all too viscerally and vibrantly what I felt that June day in 1968.. that hope had been killed.. that hope had died.

I hear the critics are being unkind to this movie. But I suspect they were all born AFTER 1970. they don't remember how that felt.. to have the hope die like that..

if you remember.. go see this film and weep...
