W. by Oliver Stone
So I watched the movie "W." by Oliver Stone a couple of nights ago. Some of you might remember that the movie had a bit of publicity last September/October because it was the first time that a movie about a US president was out in theaters while the president was still in office. Looking back on it, a few days later, I have to admit that I was disappointed. I thought I would be more outraged by the character (i.e Bush). I ended up not liking nor disliking the character, I just felt sorry for him - he is a person who is/was a drunk, is in constant battle to please his dad (I think that's why he went into politics and why he drank so much), is being definitely a puppet to Romney and Cheney. He always tried to reinforce the fact that he was the decision maker mainly because nobody respected him. I don't respect him, I think he made very poor decision and could never stand up for himself. Remember we are all humans, so we all make mistakes, some of us make bigger mistakes that other (for sure!) - btw, don't take me wrong, I am not defending any of his actions, I just think it is very sad that somebody had to go this length to please his parents (or at least get their recognition/acknowledgment)
