DVD Review: Bobby (Widescreen)

In many respects it was the last great loss of a generation. June 6, 1968, the Ambassador Hotel, one lone gunman, one country pushed over the edge. Five years had seen the loss of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., entry into an unpopular war, and finally the loss of the last hope the American people had. Emilio Estevez was barely 6 years old that night, but the impact held him through his life. Bobby is the actor’s greatest step in the world of directing, and offers a riveting and brilliant glimpse into the last day of Robert Kennedy’s life. The all-star ensemble cast could never have been gathered by anyone of fewer calibers. His and his family’s experiences and knowledge of the world of Hollywood helped bring the story to life with warmth, excitement and believable portrayals. Like all historical dramas though, facts can get lost in plot. Bobby is no exception.
