Yes, what attracted me to the theater was not the political gimmicks and the anticipated intense and exciting plot, but the long list of actors shining incomparably bright stars, gorgeous enough to obscure the light of any documentary film with similar themes.
Antoony Hopkins Anthony Hopkins ("The Silent Lamb"), William H. Macy (Ice and Blood Storm, Boogie Night, Magnolia, American Beauty, Air Force One, Jurassic Park, Too much), Emilio Estevez, Estevez (director and screenwriter), Demi Moore. Moore (maybe you have been moved by the ghosts of people back then), Sharon Stone (not introduced), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings, yes, it is Frodo), Hellen Hunt. Hunter (the heroine of the tornado), Shia Labeouf (oh, if you are watching change 3, then this face must be familiar to the protagonist), Laurence Fishburne (The Salvation of Neo in The Matrix) The winner, the casino expert who won the blackjack), Martin Sheen (the protagonist of the TV series The West Wing, classic).
With such a lineup, in the two-hour movie, everybody's performance is in place and precise. Although the group drama must go from the independent world at the beginning to the sudden collision of life trajectories in big events, life is being pulled by invisible threads. Sometimes in the middle of the world, it will be hurriedly parted in one place, different lives. , Different understandings, different directions, and a sudden collision will still maintain its own unique trajectory. And the film is interspersed with RFK's fuzzy figure, real documentary images, speech narration, and the turmoil and unrest of that era. JFK, Martin Luther King were assassinated, and a once golden age fell into darkness, replaced by War, decadence, violence and chaos. "The make a desert and call it peace", the film begins by quoting Tacitus to describe the United States at the time. In a typical American vision, light and justice always exist and lead people, but there is no People will foresee that an era of pure faith will finally be gone.
When The Sound Of Silence sounded, a soothing song that once provoked many people's ignorant and infinite memories of youth in "The Graduate" seemed to herald the melancholy of the age of innocence. After RFK's brother was assassinated, he suffered the same fate. It seems that an indescribable curse haunts the Kennedy family, blood, panicked crowd, sadness, disappointment, not just for one person, but for destiny and the future. But no matter what, people will live strong, in one way or another, glorious or humble, there will always be people who will again arouse the hope of silent people...
The speech of RFK at the end of the film, the plot of the film and the audience’s Emotions are pushed to a climax. In the short old documentary footage, RFK's easy-going, idealized, sympathy for the poor, and face up to social problems are evidence of people's love for him. This is not a simple sensationalism, but a pure flame that exists more or less in people's hearts, shining brighter in the wind.
