Movie Reviews of Bobby (Widescreen Edtion)
Movie Review: when the world was young ...
Summary: 4 Stars
A little seen movie that hasn't received the acclaim that it truly deserves is Bobby, the story of the lives of several characters on that fateful day in 1968 when Robert Kennedy was assassinated. Emilio Estevez, who proves that he should have been a writer,directed this all-star cast that takes place in Los Angeles at the Ambassador Hotel. I was a little apprehensive about seeing the film because I'm usually leery of seeing movies with so many big-names attached but this movie really seemed to drive home that the fascination with this era is more than just about the Kennedys. It's the clothes, cars, the people, the changing lives, the after-effect of the civil rights movements, everything. It's about a golden era that no longer exists.
I thought at times, that some of the characters weren't necessarily, such as the shia labeouf character who gets high on lsd. But I get that's an important part of the message that Estevez is trying to drive home: when we were young, we were inspired to do it all, we believed that we could but we can't have it all. Not for long but for a little awhile. The best performances in the movie came from Sharon Stone, is sensational as a hairdresser and Laurence Fishbourne, as a black cook whose sensibility is passed onto the workers he cooks for. Other notable
performances include Christian Slater and Demi Moore. But it's not about
the names, it's about the lives they lead, when history was made.
