I just saw "Bobby"

[TheDoctor]

My middle child and I saw this movie tonight. It was a really powerful film. I remember the death of Robert Kennedy. One of the first political discussions that I remember was two of my classmates discussing whether Robert Kennedy was for real or was just using his brother's fame.

I really like this movie. Has anyone else seen this picture yet?

Haven't seen it yet, but want to see it.

I was impressed with Lindsey Lohan's performance as a young lady who marries Elijah Wood so that he would not go to Vietnam. She gave a great performance.

Ooooh, I can't wait to see it! Bobby is one of my heros. I was hoping to see it this weekend, but this cold or flu or whatever it I have has be housebound. I'm glad to hear it was a powerful story! That's how it should be.

Maybe I'll get to see it Wednesday!

I'm looking forward to watching it on DVD.

I saw it and was disappointed. Not enough Bobby and a lot of soap opera IMHO! I was expecting more of documentatary type film I guess.

At first I was surprised that the they did not have anyone playing Bobby but I got used to it. I like the way that they weaved the clips of Bobby from the campaign trail into the film to give you an idea that of what he stood for and what the country lost.

I've never been a big fan of the Kennedys, but this movie does look interesting.
