      I admire Americans very much

      Regarding the Iraq War, the then US Vice President in the movie made it very clear that natural resources are non-renewable resources, and they will be gone when they are used up. Possibly more), we can't let a quarter of the world's oil resources not be in our hands, and it is better to consume others than to consume our own. This is why in the middle of the last century, the United States gradually controlled the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia (the United...

      Takeaway = Zero

      As many critics have pointed out, this bio of one of the worst US presidents of all times is "surprisingly even-handed"---surprisingly, because it's from Oliver Stone.

      Actually not surprising at all for me; Liberals have usually taken pains to be "objective", and pushed themselves to the point of intellectual vanity to provide a "well-rounded narrative" in an "open and meaningful discourse". However, such lofty intent doesn't always translate into fair results or effective message,...

      let's see

      It is said that this film is not for the 15% who admire Bush Jr., nor for the 15% who despise Bush.

      So I'll watch it.

      Overall, it feels like a neutral point of view. Of course, I have nothing good to say about this brain-dead president.

      After watching the film, two scenes were the most impressive.

      One is the section where the think tank discusses the value of oil in the Middle East. Although they despise them, they agree.

      Another is the routine...

      By Reason

      The emotion after reading it is: I thought I had read Joan of Arc (French version) again.
      The saintess who thought that the teacher came out of the Tao
      thought that she was for freedom, for the nation, and for the country.
      Bush also thinks he is, for freedom, for the nation, for the country.
      As a result, the end result is not that the teacher is out of the
      way for himself, for desire, and for value.
      I don't resent Bush, although I advocate -- no war doctrine. But I...

      Anyway, he's really cute

      I watched Moore's 9/11 documentary a few years ago, and the deepest impression on Bush in it was that when 9/11 happened, he read stories to students in an elementary school, very calm.
      I saw a parody of him the year before, "Our Little Bush", which was so ridiculous.
      As for this movie, I still like it. Although many people don't like him and say that his IQ is low, I have always had an inexplicable affection for him, the kind of feeling that I can trust and get close to. It is also...

      After watching it, the performance is roughly, and it is only a little bit, but I have little understanding of the background. If you want to know more, you need to read more about his knowledge, attention, introduction,...

      Throughout the running account, it is still too early to draw a conclusion on such a powerful person. But seeing the second half is really touching, especially many years after the end, when he caught the flying baseball, his eyes were full of confusion. Bush will recall that decades ago he once That distant afternoon of dreaming of joining a professional baseball...

    Movie plot

    Whether you love him or hate him, there is no denying that George W. Bush was the dominant figure in the world from 2001 to 2009. As the only surviving leader in the world, his life can be described as ups and downs and magnificent. Americans like him because he withstood the pressure in the storm of September 11, and led the American people to turn their grief into strength. He has been coveted for a long time by the United States. In...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is the first movie that was still in the lead role of the President of the United States when it was released (the movie was released in 2008, and George Walker Bush was the President of the United States from 2001 to 2009) .
    Since many people think that the film is vilifying George Walker Bush, it is difficult to find investors in the United States. Therefore, the Emperor Group of Hong Kong is also one of the investors in the...

    Background creation

    In order to shoot "W.", the director Oliver Stone did a lot of work before the start of the game. He checked a lot of Bush’s life and deeds and did related research. He also learned from Bush Jr. “Make up your mind, overcome all difficulties, and fail. Purpose, "Never give up" willpower and "strict self-discipline" tough style. Oliver said that no political judgment was added to the film. The crew did not come to find trouble or be...

    Evaluation action

    In the film, director Oliver Stone exposed the negative life and negative image of Bush Jr., presenting the audience with a "humanized" Bush Jr who is reckless, unreliable, impatient and easy to interpersonal. As long as those who are familiar with Bush Jr. feel good enough after watching this film, Oliver Stone has raised the "sarcasm" to another level besides "analysis", which can be said to be "three points into the woods". It is...
