What if Bobby Kennedy ... ?

Sometimes our memories fade/ maybe we were really too young to remember an event that possibly could have changed the course of our nation...

Netflix delivered the movie 'Bobby' about 22 lives that intersect on the fateful night of Senator Bobby Kennedy's 1968 assassination in L.A.'s Ambassador Hotel.  It's a bit disjointed but has the viewer wondering through each vignette of how all these lives would have anything to do with that eventful night. Woven amidst are issues of class, racism and sexual inequality of the times lest we forget...

You will see a lot of familiar faces... Everybody and his brother must have wanted to be part of Emilio Estevez's 'Bobby.'

Some of the Cast (in credits order) 

Kennedy photos abound at the end of the movie so be sure and don't turn it off early.  Most importantly  there is the clip of Senator Kennedy's prophetic 'Mindless Menace of Violence'  speech. His words ring as true today as they were in 1968. Take a listen. We truly lost a great statesman that had the potential to do so much...

Mindless Menace of Violence

May we continue striving to make our country a better place for all of our citizens...Happy 2013 !
