Product Description

 
An ambitious labor of love from writer/director/star Emilio Estevez, BOBBY attempts to distill the hope, anger, and confusion that gripped the U.S. in the late 1960s. With the civil rights movement still reeling from the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the country embroiled in the confusion of Vietnam, Senator Robert F. Kennedy's campaign preached a message of peace and tolerance. In a style similar to the sprawling works of Robert Altman or Paul Thomas Anderson, Estevez uses the June 4th, 1969, assassination of Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles as the means to take a snapshot of the problems facing the country as the 1960's came to an end.

The hotel is a microcosm of class and race, with characters bouncing off each other until the violent conclusion. African-American head chef Edward (Laurence Fishburne) presides over a kitchen staffed primarily by Mexican Americans who are the victims of the racist restaurant manager, Timmons (Christian Slater). Timmons is reprimanded by...

BOBBY: A MOMENT OF HOPE SHATTERED BY TRAGEDY

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you want to see a slice of life in the political world of 1968, this is a great film to see.
Review: I recently heard an interview of Emelio Estevez concerning this film which he both directed and wrote. He has been trying to put the film together for a number of years but couldn't get financing. When he finally did get the financing, actors...

A Terrific Idea Run Aground and Wasted

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2009
The Bottom Line: Bobby could've been fantastic, and ended up for hardcore fans of historical fiction only.  The cast might draw some in, but most will be bored and annoyed.
Review: One of the key selling points to any film, obviously, is its premise.  Sure, some can be boiled down to a "(Movie star) in a (genre) with (movie star)" formula, and that gets films made, and in a lot of cases makes money and puts Hummers and...

BOBBY--WE ARE ALL MORTAL

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: Former brat packer Emilio Estevez assembles an all star cast for BOBBY, a lightweight historical drama that explores multiple characters on the eve of Robert F. Kennedy's tragic death
Review: Flabbergasted. That's the primary feeling I had watching the new drama BOBBY. Not because the film is anything great--it isn't--but rather because it's writer/director is none other than Emilio Estevez. Who would have ever thought the film maker...

Professional Reviews
  (11/17/2006, p.E12, A. O. Scott): "[T]he ambition behind BOBBY is large and serious....The pulse of history is most audible not in the fictional portions of the movie, but in the moments, especially at the end, when the documentary record takes over."

Format: DVD: Full Frame, Bobby
Featuring one of the most remarkable casts ever assembled, Bobby is an unforgettable movie experience...a powerful reminder of what America could be (Pete Hammond, Maxim). The all-star ensemble includes Oscar winners Laurence Fishburn, William H. Macy and Sharon Stone, along with Heather Graham, Lindsay Lohan, Demi Moore, Christian Slater and Elijah Wood. Written and directed by Emilio Estevez, Bobby revisits the night presidential- hopeful Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968. As the lives of those who were present dramatically intersect, Bobby shows how the gunshots that rang out that night forever changed the course of American history.
