W The movie.....

[KarenB]

DH and I went to see it today. I was wondering just how much of it was fact and how much was fiction?

From the previews, it looked like most of it is fiction.

Think Titanic.

Fictional story written around actual events.

I saw it today too.

I found it depressing.

well I don't know - it's Oliver Stone. I'd take it with a grain of salt.
I have to think there is more to "W" than simply "Daddy loves Jeb more than he loves me."

please. please let it be more than that.

btw, the previews are rather misleading. It isn't a comedic movie in the least.

It surely isn't.

Yes, I agree. DH and I were LOL when we looked at the preview online this morning. Not much laughing at the movie.

I'll tell you though,

that scene where Cheney presented the war as vital in terms of controlling the oil in the Middle East .... that was pretty darn depressing and it certainly felt authentic.

This is a fictional movie. The names of real people were used. Shows the hate and bias of Hollywood toward the right.

You know it is nothing but a "hate" movie.....with Josh Brolin being Barbara Streisand's Step-Teet baby.

I thought the movie 'humanized' Bush. I almost felt sorry for 'W'. He was always in the shadow of his 'perfect' brother. He could never please his Dad. He fought Alcoholism and found God. No spin there. To my understanding, Oliver was pretty much on the target (in regards to truthfulness). The only liberty he said he made was the dream (which gave W a human factor – not so malicious and deliberate – in regards to his mistakes). There was 'no spin' in regards to WMD's like I thought it would be. I did feel for Collin Powell who fought so hard (at first) against invading Iraq. Did you guys notice the Carl Rove appeared to be there every step (and misstep) of Bush's way. Carl Rove and his successor Steve Schmidt are now running the McCain Campaign too. A little scary if you ask me.

Apparently there was a LA anchorwoman in the movie-small part-I just read where she was found beat up in her apartment and died at the hospital.

She was from Little Rock, Ark.
