Bobby revisits the night Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968. With an incredible cast portraying a wide array of characters from all different backgrounds, the film follows them at the hotel that fateful day which would change their lives forever.
It was a very weird experience watching this movie. I pretty much sat through the whole movie on the brink of boredom because the movie isn't really about Bobby Kennedy. The only footage that you see of Bobby Kennedy is historical footage of speeches and what not. The movie is just following these random characters, and you are stuck kind of wondering where it's going and why you should care about all these people for about two hours. Then the assasination and ensuing chaos happens and you realize that you had really grown to care about all the characters that you had been questioning the validity of. I was sitting on the edge of my seat for the last twenty minutes or so and ended up leaving the theater thinking that this was one of the best movies of the year.
I fully recommend this movie to everyone and think that it should be worthy of some oscar consideration at year's end.
