Recovered hire this wonderful film and straconsigliato. Bobby was a blow to the heart, left me almost unconscious ...
A portrait choral powerful, devastating, orchestrated by magic, cast in a state of grace for a docu-film full of pathos.
Since this review, which does justice to this masterpiece
June 4, 1968.
elections are taking place for the Democratic primary in California, a decisive test for the race to the nomination for the Presidency of the United States. The hours of the day slide toward the hope of a possible victory for the opponent Bob Kennedy McCarthy. Will be closed in the early hours of June 5 with the gunshots fired by Sirhan Sirhan that would undermine not only the life of a man but hopes that America wants to get out of the madness of war in Vietnam.
Emilio Estevez decides to tell other than to follow, more or less documentary, the 'last hours' of the candidate but proposing altmanianamente the lives of people who are, for various reasons, the Hotel Ambassador of the Democratic headquarters. From the Director
faithless wife with hairdresser to the hotel waiter immigrant who wants to go to watch the game of his dreams and is forced to work, by the singer to become an alcoholic young activist who dream only to be presented to the leader is a concatenation of stories that show us a glimpse of the dreams and frustrations of the United States of those days. Estevez, who was then six years, brings together a cast at the highest level to tell an American Dream that still seemed possible and, from that day which followed the shooting of Dallas, began to fade.
carefully avoiding territories ultra beaten and at risk of easy rhetoric, Estevez focuses on the human path of its many characters and putting them profitably in the frames of the presidential election. There is not much room for mere political news story in Bobby: This is mainly through the footage. Because Bobby is essentially a film about men and women, young and old, blacks and Mexican activists and flower children, pending a change that will be denied. The strength and the powerful off-the characters are the result of choices Estevez, but also the quality of a cast rich, compelling and varied, exploiting in the best way charge iconic performers. Among the faces emerging star in decay ( Demi Moore in her best ever test, Sharon Stone never so beautiful from the time of Scorsese's Casino), and absolute safety, but stands a giant Anthony Hopkins (in fact even produced the film) actor finally worthy of a test of absolute intensity. Porter retired ideal narrator and external affairs delegated his character seems to take over the entire symbolic of the film in a few glances and jokes.
glances and jokes that make Bobby a work invaluable.
"They created a desert and call it peace," said Bob in reference to Vietnam. Those words, spoken from his lips in the film have a value that extends to today. Just change the references. In the marriage of two young persons involved in the ceremony, the only possibility of salvation from the call to the front for him and the couple who discover that it is not just a ploy, but that is their love is the core of the film.
Bob Kennedy's long speech, which closes the film as it passes an alternating scenes of rebuilding and materials related to that night, reminds us.
"I am convinced that we can all work together. We are a big country, a country caring and compassionate."
Bobby, as well as the film requires true, can you talk about the past for us to reflect on the present.
A Shot ... The sound of silence.
