Bobby: I just like it, that's all

The bookstore met someone I knew and chatted while flipping a book, and she got involved in the movie Bobby. She hadn't watched it, so she said the main content, and at the end, she added: "I like this movie." She said: "It's weird, how can a person like you like such a movie?" She still looked puzzled. This rhetorical question, which seemed to be full of logical power, made people speechless, and immediately regretted that I had added a subjective impression. So I had to answer: "I don't know, I just like it."

Well, I like it. This term may be a bit vulgar, but for an ordinary movie lover, what can resist interrogation and self-indulge better than it? Besides, Bobby does have something fascinating.
For example, the multi-line narrative method that I have always liked not only exists in this movie, but also unfolds in 22 characters without precedent. The dazzling is also a kind of test.
From a narrative point of view, director Emilio Estevez adopted a small-minded approach, starting with ordinary people's trivial matters, while using Robert F. Kennedy, the soul of the film, as the background only, interspersed with his video recordings. Although this method of pseudo-documentary is not new, it is smart enough. It is said that RFK's family also issued a statement expressing gratitude to the director. The speech at the end is indeed exciting, reflecting RFK's personal charm and public values.
Of course, the actors in the film must not be ignored. Anthony Hopkins and Martin Sheen are old and strong, Demi Moore and Sharon Stone are amazing, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is pleasing to the eye
, and the glasses on the bridge of Shia LaBeouf's nose are impressive. It is the same as The Sound of Silence at the end of the film, exuding nostalgia, it is the most emotional track in college.

When talking about design, Elsa Peretti, Tiffany’s greatest designer, said: “Great design doesn’t make people look very strenuous. When treating a work, you don’t want to look at its signature, but appreciate whether it is a kind of Pleasant." She added: "You have to follow your feelings." Appreciating jewelry and jewellery is like that, so why not watching a movie? One of the most important features and functions of art is aesthetics. Maybe Bobby will not be a great movie in the end, but it is enough for many people to accept and like it. Of course, if anyone can see the trends in American society and the world in the 1960s, they will naturally be another class of movie-watchers.
