Question about "Bobby" movie

First of all I just want to say that that was an amazing movie. Phenomenal acting by everyone in it. Second i dont know a lot about the story of that kennedy. So my question is how close to the story is any of that? I know its hollywood but is any of that true, any story lines in it, or is it all just thrown in to make a movie?

cheers

Everything is fake except for RFK being shot


BTW, Im a huge Bobby Kennedy fan but I thought the movie was subpar but the last 15 - 20
minutes were good mostly because it focused on Robert.

I didn't see the movie, but I know a lot about RFK. What things in the movie are you wondering about?

there was just a whole plot that wasnt oriented to RFK. It was just people who were either working in the hotel or visiting. Some famous some not. I just didnt know if like the person demi moore was portraying was accurate in the sense that was that character even there? That pitcher that was going for his 6 straight shutout game, did that happen?

cheers

Demi Moores character was fictional but the pitcher, Don Drysdale, is real. He set a record of 58 scoreless innings in 1968.

Probably the most star studded cast I've ever seen in a movie. Emilio Estevez, Laurence Fishburne, Heather Graham, Heather Hunt, Anthony Hopkins, Ashton Kutcher, Sharon Stone, Demi Moore, Lindsy Lohan, Martin Sheen, Elijah Wood ..... keeps going on and on. Oh yeah, good movie by the way.

100% agree with you, that movie was shit... with a cast like that it shoulda been a hell of a showing, guess Emilio will have to do a new Mighty Ducks movie to win me back
