The death of Kennedy

The only feature of this movie is the complete narrative of that day in history. Of course, bringing together many big-name Hollywood stars to star in is a major feature in itself. The problem with the movie is that it does not discuss the historical and practical significance of Robert Kennedy's death.
The movie seems to want to promote the plot by interspersing a large amount of Kennedy's historical video materials, showing the mood changes of those who witnessed the death of Kennedy (or the victims at the time) in the hotel that day, but it did not particularly move modern audiences. ——We might as well just watch the documentary to understand that period of history. The discussions on the Vietnam War and the issue of racial immigration seem to intentionally imply the status quo in the United States today. Such hints seem too blunt. The last thing worth mentioning is Sharon Stone, this is perhaps her most powerful performance.

Bobby quotes

  • John Casey: When you make a move out of stress or anger, it always ends in catastrophe.

  • Edward Robinson: White folks ain't trying to keep you down. White folks just don't like to be pushed into a corner. They'll come around. You just got to make it look like it was their idea, like they're the ones that thought of it. They need to feel like they're the great emancipators. Like it was theirs to give in the first place. Let'em have it. I mean, if that's all it takes, let them have it.
