The critical critique of the movie is that it never would have been made during his lifetime.
Will the film even be allowed to be shown in MA?
Leo Demore who wrote the book the movie was based on had his career and personal life destroyed by Ted Kennedy and the Democrat Party machine.
He ended up committing suicide.
It was and remains a glaring example of our two tiered “justice” system. Ted Kennedy was allowed to escape justice and that’s a fact.
Think of this: game if the real story had come out we would not have chain migration. Ted was dispicable leftist who rammed through some of the worst legislation ever.
Leo Damore.
Sorry for the misspellimg. Spell check changed to demote. I only changed the r, missed the other.
If not him, somebody else would have taken the lead. It's not as if the supply of despicable leftists is limited.
What EMK called “the dream” was really a totalitarian nightmare, but people in MA still want EMK’s “dream.”
Good point, Cboldt; leftists are legion and like lemmings all think alike: how to best advance totalitarianism by calling it something else.
Perhaps, this man's end of life should be made into a movie.
Obviously this movie is made for those too young to know about it or those sworn to the Democratic Party. Most right thinking people don’t need to pay Hollywood their $$$ to see what they already know. Once again Hollywood is selling what is already free if you care to look.
This is a true story I may have told here once before. My sister’s friend married a fringe Kennedy I won’t name, but his father was a major player in the Chappaquiddick event. Years ago, the friend and her Kennedy husband were coming to dinner at my sister’s house and she decides to warn my father, who could be a bit of a loose cannon on political issues, to behave himself. She tells him not to bring up politics at all and he agrees completely. She leaves my dad and the Kennedy sitting out by the pool while she goes in to get drinks. When she comes back outside, she hears my father ask the guy what the weather is like at Chappaquiddick at that time of year. My dad was a funny guy.
I ‘d be traumatized by the historic smoking!
How about the countless movies and doc on Nixon.
No, I’m looking forward to this movie. I don’t think, however, that it will answer a lot of questions. For one thing, I don’t think Kennedy was in the car at all. He got out, and left Mary Jo to drive (perhaps to the beach?) because he didn’t want to get stopped by Officer Look who spotted their car.
Kennedy was drunk. He had finished off 4 to 5 rum and cokes, beers etc in the few hours at the party. He probably blacked out completely and remembers nothing. This is a scary thing that happens to genetically based alcoholics. They realize in a panic that they can’t remember what they did the night before. Then when they find out, they’re speechless about it.
The last thing Kennedy remembered was probably leaving the party with her in his car.
So, how did he get back to his hotel? How did Markham and Gangen (? can’t remember his name), get back to the hotel from the party as well.
My thinking is that Kennedy either swam it, (although he was found dry as a bone by the hotel manager at 2:30am), or he/they took one of the many dingys that line the shoreline.
Interesting “defense” of Kennedy, resolves him of most of the fault.
Sorry I don’t buy it.
That’s it? What’s the rest of the story?
I remember the events as they took place. I’ve always wondered why she couldn’t get out. Most vehicles back then had manual windows. Just wondering..........
I just did a DuckDuckGo search if the movie theaters in Boston will show it and the result was yes.
Correct.
