I saw the movie last night. Some in the theatre didnt like it - based upon the conversations overheard on the way out. I thought it was OK. But I love history and politics and hate the Kennedys. It was a fair portrayal but still dishon3stly perpetuated a false support of Kennedys version of events.
In my mind there has always been an obvious and unanswered question. If Kennedy was in the car - how did he get out? If presumably had to open the car door or break or roll down a window with the car fully submerged - yet she was unable to escape the car even though potentially alive for an extended period of time. I dont think he was in the car.
But the movie portrays the Kennedys just as weve known them - power and privilege. Its very tellling that many of the local officials who were democrats Went easy on the scumbag.
Think being in the pitch dark, disoriented, upside down, inexperienced, panicked, water rising up.
I can see someone like her not finding a way out even if Fat Ted did. He was absolutely 100% in the car.
