Junior

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.

W. quotes

  • George W. Bush: Iran is not Iraq and Iraq is not Iran. I know that.

  • George Herbert Walker Bush: If I remember correctly, you didn't like the sporting goods job or the oil rig job. Working in the investment firm wasn't for you either. That ranchette thing in Arizona, that sure didn't last long. Didn't exactly finish up with flying colors in the Air National Guard, Junior. We're still not out of that one. Now this gal Susie shooting her mouth off about you knocking her up.

    George W. Bush: Wait a sec, how'd you know about that?

    George Herbert Walker Bush: Word gets around, boy-o.

    George W. Bush: That's a dang lie, Poppy. I use a condom, I'm not... dumb.

    George Herbert Walker Bush: What are you cut out for? Partying, chasing tail, driving drunk? Who do you think you are, a Kennedy? You're an Bush! Act like one. Can't even hold a job. We always worked for a living. It's damn time you joined the rest of us and decided just what it is you're gonna do with your life.

    George W. Bush: I know, Poppy. I'm... I'm just having a devil of a time trying to figure it out.

    George Herbert Walker Bush: Well, then, figure it out soon, Junior. Your brother Jeb graduates 5 Beta Kappa. What'd you get? Cs? You only get one bite of the apple, you know.

    George W. Bush: Look, Jeb's not me and I don't want to be Jeb, Poppy. Look, what I'd really love... what I'd REALLY love to do is find something in baseball.

    George Herbert Walker Bush: Doing what? You can't play. Coach? Come on! You're fishing for the moon in the water! Something real! I started out in the oil fields and I was hoping that...

    George W. Bush: Look, I'll try harder, Poppy. I promise. I can do it.

    George Herbert Walker Bush: Can you? Can you really? You agreed to work for a certain period of time and you haven't kept your word once. Not once. In our family, the Bush family, we honor our commitments. I'll take care of this... young woman.

    [W heads for the door]

    George Herbert Walker Bush: You disappoint me, Junior. Deeply disappoint me.

    George W. Bush: Is that it?

    George Herbert Walker Bush: Yeah.
