I saw “Chappaquiddick” last night. They did a good job and played it pretty “straight” — it could have been so much harsher on the Kennedys and the Democrats, of course, but at least the filmmakers presented some of the key facts in a way that Hollyweird and the MSM never want to touch.
The theater was virtually empty (just one other couple), so I fear this is going to be a commercial flop unless that showing was very atypical.
I’ll be helping the movie out this weekend. I very seldom go to out to cinemas, so this will be a rare exception.
The bottom line is, Ted was having an affair with Mary Jo, and he was drunk, and he did leave the scene of the accident, and failed to report it in a timely manner. Anyone else would have gone to jail for manslaughter
