"W." Movie...


Thank goodness another movie came out on top to replace the stupid Beverly Hills Chihuahua crap! Oh no, the top movie was not the "W" puke either! 'Max Payne" by Mark Wahlberg turned out to be the number one movie for this week with a high sale of $18m. Beverly Hills Chihuahua now second place with sales of $11.2m. Third place winner went to The Secret Life of Bees with sales of $11.1m and the "W" movie placed fourth with sales of $10.6m. played in 2,030 cinemas, "W" averaged a solid but unremarkable $5,197 a theater, compared with a $6,334 average for "World Trade Center." "W" was shot on a moderate budget of $25 million. Do the math. Was this a loss or a gain?
Some of the main events portrayed in this movie are: Bush's family, the war in Iraq, and Bush's presidency. It appeared as if the creator of this movie was implying that Bush is trying to clean up his dad's mess and trying not to be like his father.( Is he?) Bush's presidency was slammed as the movie highlighted his cabinet and implied that he was getting all his advice from his cabinet, (Is it that Bush has no input or he can not trust his own decisions?). You be the judge. The event which highlighted the war in Iraq made it appear as if the war was not planned and that Bush is basically saying it was his father's war.
I think these events presented concern the American people on a whole. Probably concern mainly prospective voters.With election about two weeks away , could this movie help to influence voters' decisions? Was the writer trying to imply that Bush is ignorant and not intelligent? Also, I may be misinterpreting, but did any of the events suggested that Bush was promiscuous?
With two weeks before the presidential election, this prime for Bush's biography. This "W" movie was released before election and after the presidential debates. Perfect timing because if it were after these both, then chances are people would not be interested. (Did you ask why?)
According to one movie critic, "Bolin acted Bush portrayed with buffoonish moments,...empathy shown for Bush as the man with some serious daddy issues...who has a strong relationship with his wife to fall back on." Well whatever the truth is...would we be able to tell?
