I heard every actor in Hollywood was in this. You have a SAG card, you get a part. ;)

When you look at the Kennedy family, it's amazing what they represent and how much they are revered by the left in the United States.
It's a shame Robert Kennedy was shot. It was a despicable act. I hardly think of it as 'one of the most fateful days in American history.'

I don't see Roosevelt Brown in the cast list. Also is Sirhan played by a Russian?

A former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy told me that when the LAPD contacted Kennedy's campaign about providing security for Senator Kennedy a campaign staffer said, "We don't want any pigs over here."

My favorite line from Bobby?
"We didn't cross over the border - the border crossed over us."
To: Brad from Tennessee
I heard that story, or something similar, years ago, and had forgotten about it. I don't remember the "pigs" remark, but I did remember that the extra security had been declined. Wonder how the person who made the decision felt about it afterwards.

Frodo, or Fredo?

And one of my favorite actors, Anthony Hopkins, is in it too. Too bad. I like the guy.

The Kennedy Myth still has magic for shallow thinkers. Oh well.

However, a lot of leftists proejct their own views on the Kennedys to create this idea of a sexy exuberant form of leftism. It's rather annoying, and I'd hate to sit through a whole movie that makes Bobby Kennedy out to be some fallen perfect leader.Contemporary leftists have a bad habit of treating people like FDR and JFK as if they were gay liberationists. However, according to leftist Hegelian thought, the TVA and Peace Corps were the "gay liberation" of their day, and if FDR or JFK were around today they'd be in the forefront of the perversion lobby. And considering the number of fossilized leftists who promote this stuff (or are silent about it), I can't say that they're wrong.
Bobby Kennedy was part of an anti-Communist Democrat administration, but as soon as Nixon took the White House the Democrats who put us in Vietnam immediately morphed into hippies opposed to the "Republican" war.
This movie also recalls the old days when (in America at least) support for Israel was the "liberal" position. RFK was a pro-Israel liberal assassinated by an Arab terrorist for that very reason. This movie is just what Jewish liberal Democrats need to keep living in the past.

Extra security might have made a difference and perhaps not. Kennedy had the image of a populist and insisted on pressing flesh.
I think had he been elected he would not have begun an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam as was advocated by McCarthy and later by McGovern. I think Kennedy would have gone for a phased withdrawl like Nixon accomplished.
Despite all the historical revision, Bobby had a hand in the plots against Castro:
