The movie was very well done; however, I don't appreciate Estevez treating Robert Kennedy as a saint. In fact he went so far as to say on an interview that "the death of Bobby was the death of decency." Yes, Bobby was a very popular and influential politician in his day, yet, he was not amazing as he is depicted. Secondly, he would not have won the presidential election in the first place, Nixon still would have won. Nixon destroyed McCarthy, who was neck and neck with Kennedy in the Dem primary. Senator Kennedy was simply a "rock star" politician. He made people feel good about themselves, but his speeches really did not present anything profound. I guarantee if he was not a Kennedy his popularity would not be the half of what it is today. Lastly, it was clear Estevez was making an implicit protest on the war in Iraq. Haven't we've seen enough of those?
