There were so many characters, yet the movie made time for us to get to know all of them. Very good script, very meaningful words were spoken. At that moment, everyone was emotional about something. Everyone had a struggle. This story covered people from many different age groups. I think we could all find someone in the movie to connect to, someone who resembled us.

Bobby is not a great movie. Not even close. The script is awful and in spots incredibly pointless. However, what Estevez lacks as a writer and actor he makes up for as a pretty decent director, even if he needs to work on his pacing. Bobby is a well shot and acted film and in the end that is what saves it from itself.

I think this movie is as good as and as important as Crash. Like Crash, it features an ensemble cast of amazingly (and sometimes surprisingly) talented actors. Like Crash, it tells a story about America in a specific time period. I feel like the movie really captures what America was going through then. (This theory was confirmed by my mom who lived through it.) It’s brilliant story-telling, intricately woven tales seemingly unconnected people. It’s such an important history lesson that every American should learn, especially those of us who weren’t there. It’s beautiful and fabulous.

Go see it, you won’t be disappointed!
