W (Dubya)

Someone at work lent this to me.
Its said all literature is about the relationship between the protagonist and their father. W is clearly the story of the second son. One is tempted to say Ishmael. That might be asking for trouble.
W is the story of a good old boy and his uptight eastie father. There is a dream sequence at the end of the film. As Mao is supposed to have commented on the French revolutions results Its a bit to early to say. Some scenes in this film are pure fantasy
Bushes strengths can be seen in a few scenes. The frat party scene where half cut, and up to waist in ice. Bush names the entire fraternity house including their nicknames. His wooing of the young Laura Wright. A young man thinking on his feet. Oh and being hugged by two passers by in Texas. While him, and Karl Rove plan and plot
In contrast Bush is depicted as unfocused. Commenting about the length of a document he receives from Vice President Cheney. ``Good only 3 pages.’’ Unable to control his sub ordinates. Rumsfeld, at one scene baits W, over not being able to enjoy Pecan pie.
As a young man, troubled and restless. Not being able to hold down a job. As an oilman. He looks for a beer, whilst working on a rig. A no no, in any industrial environment.
The film attributes the Willie Horton campaign to Bush, rather then Lee Atwater. This is wrong
Its an excuse for a lot of Bushisms. ``Fool me once… Why are our children learning. Most appear out of context. One at a cabinet meeting Where it would never have come into the public domain if he George had said it there
W, consumes Dr Pepper throughout the film
Its strange to see the recent past. Thandie Newton as Dr Rice. The words Shock and Awe. These things were on everyone lips, and then slipped away.
The pretzel scene. It was mildly amusing to read about in the papers. Seeing someone choke, isn’t funny.
``Might has well be stabbed in the back, all at once. Like the guy in Rome’’
Some interesting observations, but one feels the hatchet was deployed
