Is Papa at all to blame? Bush junior can do what he wants, the old man's just disappointed in him. Founds the young George another oil company, the senior prefers the skeptical eyebrows high. And he wins the governor election in Texas, Dad looks sad toward Florida, where his favorite son Jeb same struggle for the office has lost.
The small "Dabblju" (Josh Brolin) can stretch and stretch, as he wants, he can drink or deprivation, he can be a firm against the wall, or the most powerful man in the world up - no spark joy, no hint of He can proudly into his face strict father (James Cromwell) conjure. The view of the Old seems only to continually ask: Junior, what have you done again?
It has also nobody dared: In his portrait of President "W." Oliver Stone interprets an entire career as a sequence ödipaler reflexes. But can the complexity of large policy actually as soap-opera version of a Greek tragedy imitating? At least for its rigor, it is Stone, who in the past U.S. history always ingenious ausgedeutet, so they then brutally simplify tribute of respect.
Consistently, he brings the classic tragedies-Sidekicks for his doomed main character in position: Secretary of State Colin Powell leaves of Jeffrey Wright as a great Zauderer play, which is against his conscience on the Iraq issue and decides to lie to the third Gulf War possible. The Vice-President Dick Cheney are Richard Dreyfuss as a cunning President Whisperer, his simple employers complex political processes based on his turkey sandwich explained. And Toby Jones embodies Karl Rove, the chief of staff of the White House, as ugly witches, the weaknesses of the leaders transformed into strengths.
So clearly one has ever World Affairs presented. This has of course, it is fair to add half, with the extraordinary story of "W." to do so. Because of this 25-million-dollar Bush-bashing is in all respects, a record. Was the movie but still finished in July 2008 to barely three months later, in American cinema to run - and a further three months later in German television.
However, it is really in a hurry advised of the value added of this fast, small and Hollywood relationships inexpensive film, a record is also his life. Record-breaking low.
Document time, no analysis
Because of today's Germany premiere of "Oliver Stone's W." which is already dubious hero story. Precisely George W. Bush has his office to his successor, and just wanted to change this political filmmaker Stone yes share.
But now suddenly there is this film remains to this already bizarre anachronism, the German lender no longer wanted to bring to the cinema and the parallel to its video-analysis, therefore, a grace premiere on ProSieben experienced. To assess this political portraits, it is therefore necessary, as to consider what it really is: a document from the era from which it originates - and no analysis of it.

Although the U.S. launch date on the eve of the election in October last year, certainly not eingeschworener Republicans chosen by the Hugo Chávez-friend Stone convince wanted to leave that as President Bush was unacceptable, it should be the last film but to the undecided Democrats push . It should be a political tool. The rather mauen box office results at the U.S. box office, however, that "W." in fact, little change in the proportion had.
Perhaps this was the concept of narrative Stone simple to complex for the Americans, in the series such as "West Wing" or President in dramas such as "character assassination" yes certainly have learned that the policy of holding ever ambivalences and intertwined forces acting shaped.
The decision-makers will be deprived of its liability
The plight of an entire country solely on the tension ödipalen of one man to pick up, appears to be simple. But in fact, every turning point in the life of George W. Bush by the director and his screenwriter Stanley Weiser (also wrote Stone's "Wall Street") with the difficult relationship with the senior said.
If the former drunkard fundamental Christians to proselytize so only because the Lord he is in heaven love those allegedly granted to him his old Mr daheim denied. Fight he later lost their White House, then mainly to the shameful deselecting his Dads repair in 1993. And he prefers the third in 2003 Gulf War, he does so mainly in order finally to those of Saddam Garaus to make the age once during the second Gulf war which had come.

The more Stone but his anti-hero as a driven, suffering and oppressed son stands (and as such plays Josh Brolin really furious!), The more human, bemitleidenswerter and somehow this is less to blame. If one policy solely as a result of personal problems indicates, the decision-makers inevitably deprived of his personal liability: It was not so different!
How strange, how touching: At the end of Bush junior sits with his wife in the darkened bedroom and dreams just like this, get back his favorite musical "Cats" view. Nearly one wants him in the arms take this little misplaced Oedipus.
