As I recall from back then, he didn't actually support everything his brother, The President, did and was much more liberal than JFK.

I haven't heard much about that. I did read that while he was Attorney General, he pressed forward on investigations into the Mafia while almost certainly knowing that his brother John was sleeping with a Mafia princess. I commend him for doing the right thing in that case.

I'll give a politician credit for basic moral decency, even if I disagree with much of his politics. For that reason, I didn't trash Bobby Kennedy in my original post on this thread. But as others have pointed out, the movie will probably elevate him to Godlike status, and thus be most unpleasant to watch.

Like most everything that comes out of Hollywood these days this movie won't resemble the real times.. I'm even more convinced knowing Emilio had writers-block for a very long time... if he had actually done research into "Bobby" the man he would have had a lot of material to write accurately... instead he happens to meet up with the Anti-Vietnam war widow in NoCal and all of a sudden has his story line. That, alone, makes me doubt the veracity of the storyline.
