Great song. Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee were a real true love story... After Bobby died Sandra never remarried and she actually awaited death so she could see bobby again.
Kevin Spacey did a great job in this very touching movie and used his own voice not dubbing Bobby's voice. To know what Bobby went through in his life health wise is one thing but seeing his struggles in the movie really showed his fans that above all else (other than family) his love for music and entertaining people was his life's work. Growing up I always had this strong admiration and attraction towards Bobby's courage, strength in his life and his music. He was my hero, larger than life, so when he passed I was totally devastated. Bobby taught me a huge lesson, never to give up no matter the odds, a lesson I still live by today, we all should. Bobby Darin is a awesome genius, master entertainer, the best ever bar no one. RIP BOBBY!!! Love and miss you forever !!!
well good acting by Kevin Spacey, but Bobby did better (he seemed calmer) and Kevin's body language is terrible with his constant hand-movements-and-slow-wobble-dance-moves.. haha.
I love kevin spacey. What he did in his personal life is his business. I also love bill Clinton, despite whatever he did in his personal life. He was a great president! Now Kevin is a great actor and I did not know that he could sing that well too! All the time I was thinking that he was doing a playback of Bobby Darin. I also love Bobby Darin and the song of freedom is so touching. Anyway congrats Kevin. I miss you in house of cards. That series was all you. Without you that serie is nothing!
Kevin Spacey addressed that stupid issue of "you are too old to play that role" at the very beginning of the picture in a very convincing and at the same time somewhat humorous way, so detractors who are always ready to critizice remember that you did nothing to bring us that 1-derful story. Mr Spacey did and was perfect in the role.
He said he had wanted to play bobby darin since he was in his 20 to 30's but he didn't get " hot " til usual suspects so then of course he was too " old " but look how they are saying J Hudson should get an Oscar for being Aretha but it will be streamed and not in theatres because audiences will see it's actual crap .
It was on most AM radios across the USA in July,1969. The period is significant because our military buildup in Vietnam was highest. The daily newspaper were posting 50-60 soldiers deaths every week with no end in site. The country was terribly polarized. I worked for a trucking business and witnessed it first hand crossing the USA a dozen times in the summer of 1969.
Yes, we all know how terrible a person Spacey turned out to be. BUT, no one can deny that his acting is impeccable. I think he captured the essence of BD in this movie. I bet that if BD was magically able to see the movie, he would applaud Spacey's performance. I struggle with people who are great in one area and are horrible people in another area. But I learned to separate the person from their art and talent. Richard Wagner, the composer was a dispicable person - a racist and anti-semite. Does that mean we should not listen to his great compositions today? Salvador Dali allegedly smacked women around. Should we not look at his great paintings? General Patton smacked soldiers, allegedly on more that the one occasion that got him sidelined from command for a time. Does that mean he was not a great general? These are hard questions.
Glad that you are at least asking those important questions, Nate. Since we are not privy to all the important details, like a jury with a judge should be, it becomes a matter of opinion. In my opinion, it is important to weigh all of the evidence and then trust our own critical thinking. For me, there is more than a whiff of guilt on Spacey. So, I do not praise him or watch his films.
Yes, it is Kevin singing. He is on record saying how he's been a Bobby Darin fan for years. This is why he did the movie, as a tribute. He did a fabulous job with the entire production I think. Played this CD over and over....
Kevin Spacey's singing in this movie was an excellent approximation of Darin but he was not quite as good as the original. His movements and dancing however was nowhere near as good as Darin's. Good movie.
they the critics said he was too "old" he said he had wanted to play bobby darin since he was guest starring on the ken wahl series wiseguy but no one really knew him then so he couldn't get backing............
Bobby Darin's manager was a technical consultant on the film and he said the same thing about Kevin Spacey's age. However, once he met Kevin, he won him over and the rest is history.
Nope. Not into it. Mr. Spacey's lip sinkin' is not convincing. The voice, whomever it belongs to, is disconnected from the performance. Also, the happy ol' whiteman up in front of the black folks shtick lost whatever charm it may have had long ago. Plus, gay or straight, Democrat or Republican, Spacey is running from numerous sexual abuse allegations, including against a minor, so, nope, not a fan of that actor.
Fun fact... In stead of getting paid in cash Kevin Spacey agreed to do this movie if production sent the young boy who played Young bobby to his trailer for 30 minutes each day... But no idea what he was doing with him..
This never fails to bring a smile.
What a song for all people and for all times! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
One of the greatest musical films ever,to portray Bobby Darin like this Kevin Spacey should have won the oscars
Agreed, that was a great movie and Spacey was fantastic in it and I think what happened to him was outrageous.
Agreed..
👍✌
he got his little man... unfortunately it wasnt a golden trophy
That statement didnt age so well.
Kevin Spacey was awesome in this movie. Thank you for highlighting this amazing talented man.
Whao. Kevin Spacy is perfect as Bobby darin.
For the past 12 everyday before I go to bed I here this masterpiece of song. Bobby's voice is always with me. RIP 🙏
Great song. Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee were a real true love story... After Bobby died Sandra never remarried and she actually awaited death so she could see bobby again.
Loved this movie, Kevin Spacey did a brilliant performance . I loved Bobby Darin too, no one like him could come close!😅
Amen! Sammy Davis Jr. said when asked who he would never like to follow on stage. He said, “Don’t tell Frank (Sinatra). It would be Bobby Darin.”
Fantastic song. Great message.

Agree with you there, but remember that there was a blessing from Dodd & Sandra for this movie I believe.
Yeah it's a good movie. He was great.
Yes! I agree with you. Bobby was incredible.

I love kevin spacey. What he did in his personal life is his business. I also love bill Clinton, despite whatever he did in his personal life. He was a great president!

I got this movie, because I loved the music and Bobby Darin was a good singer.
I love this song and this is a damn good production.
Kevin Spacey is extremely talented. I love this performance.
This is just so good..
❤❤ MTV Peace keepers matter...🎉🎉
Great movie KEVIN SPACEY DID AWESOME 👏 🥂🍷
Isn't this Kevin Spacey playing Bobby Darin and not Bobby Darin himself? Kevin did a fantastic job portraying Bobby Darin and it's a worthwhile movie.
Simple and Deep ! Rip Bobby.
❤👏🤘Just great. Fuck! I didn’t see this movie😳🤭
SO GOOD
RIP Bob Hoskins
I just love this poem ❤
Totally agree with totally agree with Ty ugh

Great movie
My 7-yrs old asked me.Was this song ever selected as the greatest song of all time?
You're raising your boy right.

Tim Hardin also sang this song.

These are hard questions.
you and I have different opinion because all the haters were trying to get money from him they backed down because they had no real proof .
@@dfangirl72 Yep. Extortion.

I love the way that you think, and also being able to separate art, and personal life. I applaud you and I completely agree!
hummm is it really kevin spacey singing? how can it be that his voice is so similar to bobby?
Yes, it is Kevin singing. He is on record saying how he's been a Bobby Darin fan for years. This is why he did the movie, as a tribute. He did a fabulous job with the entire production I think. Played this CD over and over....
July 23rd 2022🎂🎂🎂🎂
I LOVE HOW KEVIN DID BOBBY. IM GAY NOW MATER THAY SAY ABOUT KEVIN. GAY LIVES MATTER .
2021

Kevin Spacey's singing in this movie was an excellent approximation of Darin but he was not quite as good as the original. His movements and dancing however was nowhere near as good as Darin's. Good movie.
I like Kevin spacey but, way too old for this part , couldn’t they have gotten a younger actor ?he had a resemblance to bobby but if bobby got older
Well: Spacey cowrote, directed and co-produced the film about one of the artists he admires the most. So, I guess that sets the case.
they the critics said he was too "old" he said he had wanted to play bobby darin since he was guest starring on the ken wahl series wiseguy but no one really knew him then so he couldn't get backing............
