Fool Me Once...Shame on WHO?

When the word "The End" was put on a black screen, the audience couldn't react to it for a while. After a while, someone in the movie theater raised their arms and shouted "Obama!" collectively applauded, stood up and exited.

I always think Oliver Stone is a great man, and the ending of this film should be ranked in the top ten of all the films I have watched. At that moment, I felt hesitated for Bush, and I felt heartbroken for him. And why did that softball disappear in the sky and never fall again? Why can't I find Saddam's weapons of mass destruction? Why is the war victorious but will be defeated? Why did the painstaking efforts come in exchange for ridicule, making things difficult, and public outrage?

Regarding the irony, Michael Moore is acrid, while under Oliver Stone, he is vigorous, so vigorous that everything is justifiable. I don’t hate him, I really don’t hate him anymore. Although I told my friends a few hours ago that Bush Jr. is probably the most fucked president in American history. He has messed up too many things in the past eight years. Before the horse gets up and down, he has to press for an economic crisis, and he is duty-bound.

In fact, they are not bad, are they just a little stupid? People who are stupid are honest and cute. Why do you want to smash me with eggs when you take office? Why do you still have to make a film to satirize me before I step down? I just kept wondering whether Bush would watch this premiere today. Will he go home and cry under Laura's quilt?

I am deeply impressed by the rapid advancement of media freedom. In the past, big movies only dared to shoot dead people, but now they not only shoot live people, but also scold him in broad daylight. And this film won't be banned, and this director won't be arrested—when will China have such a gentleman's demeanor?

    Who hasn't been a leftist when he is young and passionate, he will naturally become a rightist when he is sensible. Oliver Stone is a typical example.

    The image is formed convincingly and objectively. Bush has his lovely side. Although he is reckless, he is full of action, dares to think and act, and does what he says. This is rarely seen in politicians. He looks like a loser, but it is this kind of repeated defeats and battles that has won the hearts and minds of the people. He can be the president of the United States. Why can't we realize our ideals? !

W. quotes

  • George W. Bush: Hey so, what's that old battle axe Helen Thomas writing on about now? Did she say anything about, uh, ya know, Iraq?

    Ari Fleischer: Uuuh, she's talking about secret plans for regime change there. You know the rap, "What make Iran different from any other dictator?" Uh, "What right do we have to go to war with Iraq?"

    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?
