Title: Unusual narrative devices at work
Product review: An unusual way to tell a story: this film focuses on many people (some more compelling than others, I must say) who were in the Ambassador Hotel at the time Robert Kennedy was assassinated as he moved through the kitchen. Instead of dealing with Kennedy directly or having an actor portray him, director Emilio Estevez instead uses footage and voice-overs, concentrating not just on the killing but on the death of idealism at the time. MLK was already gone, and then we lost RK as well.All the performers were quite good. I was not expecting Sharon Stone, Lindsey Lohan, or Demi Moore to be good at all, but they were. Seriously, what a shock!Excellent, rousing speech from Kennedy at the end. Does anybody write 'em like that anymore? Sadly, no. We get no inspiration these days except from Bono, and he can't run for President of the U.S.
