Lindsay Lohan Hopes 'Bobby' Will Lead to More Political Awareness

The less famous brother of Charlie Sheen wowed the audience at the Venice Film Festival with his interesting approach to Robert Kennedy's assassination. 'Bobby' presents the reaction of more than 20 people who were working at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968, when Robert was killed.

The cast includes huge cinema stars among which are, only to name a few, Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Ashton Kutcher, Lindsay Lohan, Martin Sheen, Helen Hunt, Laurence Fishburne, Harry Belafonte and the director and scenarist himself, Emilio Estevez.

'Bobby' is not meant to attack the current political administration, but that doesn't mean that the consequences of what happened in those turbulent years can't still be seen by many. 'It has become frighteningly and very sadly relevant and it has become more and more relevant as time goes on. The nation changed that night. It was the third strike. It was the turning point. I believe we went into a free fall that night... [...] It was the death of hope', Estevez said after the first critically acclaimed premiere of the movie.

But the political wake-up call is something that some of the cast members are also concerned with, besides the director. The 20-year-old Lindsay Lohan, called by many 'Hollywood's brat', is very happy to have taken part in such a project, as it helped open her eyes to things she had never suspected.

She said that she hopes 'Bobby' will make people of her generation aware of the importance of being politically engaged. 'I feel I have always been somewhat politically engaged. I strongly encourage people of my age and generation to have a say and to vote, and to involve themselves in what's going on in the world, because they are living in it. I've always been like that, but I keep it to myself. It's safer that way', Lindsay told the press after the 'Bobby' screening.
