Bobby

'Bobby' by Emilio Estevez has some big names attached to it, Anthony Hopkins, Sharon Stone, Demi Moore and Lawrence Fishburne to name a few (unfortunately Lindsay Lohan is one of them).

I think that this is an extremely important film, a reminder of a terrible decade that saw America lose all of their last hopes, and their hopes ended with Robert F. Kennedys' murder.

I enjoy that Estevez shows us something different on the subject, whilst the film is about Bobby, its main view is that on the lives of people in the hotel that night, and how Bobby and his death affected them. The film makes you feel as if you are in the excitement of the night, and my own emotions swayed with those of the characters in the film. It was great to see archive footage in the film and this helped the overall emotions and feel of the film. The scene towards end of the film created a lot of confusion and anxiety, and this was excellent, as it captured what the atmosphere would have been like at the actual event.

I thought this was a great movie, generally I do love movies of this type (eg- movies about the tragedies of the Martin Luther King, Malcom X and JFK murders), and I feel that this is one of the greats in the genre.
