Bobby

Last night I watched the movie Bobby, written, directed and staring Emilo Estevez. The movie takes place on June 4, 1968 at the The Ambassador Hotel. The movie is a fictional accounts of actual events that took place that day, the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Now, Emilo must have pulled every favor he had because everyone is in this movie. The movie stars Harry Belafonte, Joy Bryant, Nick Cannon, Emilio Estevez, Laurence Fishburne, Brian Geraghty, Heather Graham, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt, Joshua Jackson, David Krumholtz, Ashton Kutcher, Shia LaBeouf, Lindsay Lohan, William H. Macy, Demi Moore, Freddy Rodríguez, Martin Sheen, Christian Slater, Sharon Stone, Mary Elizabeth Winstead & Elijah Wood. The film used a mix of actual footage (especially for the assassination scene) and acting. There were no conspiracy theories or reasons why it happened brought up, it was just the facts. The film was shot at the actual hotel while it was being demolished which I thought made it very real. Overall there may have been too many subplots which did not relate to the main plot. There were so many I didn't even think about explaining them all. I did think the end was touching and I even got a little teary-eyed. I give this movie a 6 out of 10.
