I thought it would be about John Kennedy
I'm just a stupid European who does not have a very deep knowledge of U.S. history (only what I have gathered from movies). So I expected this movie to be centered around John F Kennedy's assassination. It took me a couple of minutes to realize that it will about "that other Kennedy brother who was shot". I guess the fact that the movie was titled Bobby (rather than Johnny) should have been a clear sign, but somehow I failed to get that. Not that I minded. I watched it mostly because I like ensemble movies and it was quite enjoyable. There is a more recent movie Parkland, which seems to be similar to Bobby, but built around John rather than Robert Kennedy.
