A mortal who was born in the shadow of a distinguished family and his fathers, was sheltered but tried to get rid of the former, an agitated, sensitive, impulsive and arrogant Junior, eager to prove himself, from beginning to end, his father and family honors were his The nightmare not to go.
This is more or less close to the description of the Bush family and the Iraq war in Kitty Kelley or Eric Laurent's pen. This traitor will eventually be pulled back by the father-centered "family magnetic field", from Yale to Harvard Business School, doing business, and becoming president. , Embark on the path of elites, continue to write family mythology-no matter whether he is willing or good at it. The Iraq war, therefore, to a large extent became a family war. It's just that under Stone's lens, all this is more like a struggle, like that dream.
Bush Jr. in "W." is no longer a simple entertaining villain or clumsy clown. Even if choked by a cookie or a slip of the tongue, Stone is very restrained. He mostly agrees with those claims that Bush has a very high emotional intelligence. For example, dealing with Skull and Bones and Cheney, and all these make the movie finally a tragedy of a person, rather than an era or a country.

    No matter how real the dialogue in the film is, at least Stone makes clear what it means to be a universal value that works in America. Best joke: -What about that swagger of yours? -In Texas, we call it walking.

    George W. Bush: Did you tell her I don't like mud-suckers who gas their own people? Did you tell her I don't like ass holes that try to kill my father? Did you tell her that I was gonna kick his sorry mother fricken ass all over the Mid East?

    Ari Fleischer: I told her, uh, about about half of that.

  • Dick Cheney: You think with all your diplomatic bullshit, that you can appease Islamic fascists who are as *nuts* as Hitler.

    [wry chuckle]

    Dick Cheney: Want to know what I see, Mr. President? I see a world where, in about 25 years, America's reserves are gone. Done. Demand is up, 30-40%, and we have 2 oceans blocks us from the world's reserves. You think we're gonna have allies then?
