W. OLIVER & LIFE IN QUESTION?

I doubt seriously there is any question as one is supposed to believe, that: there is any question or underestimation about the LIFE of 'Junior' - George W. Bush.

There remains 'No Doubt' that Oliver Stone has a tremendous ability in producing and directing cinematic pieces of art, but ... who can really believe what we are seeing or hearing these days, as much as anything that has been thrust or put before us now ... or in the past?

While I enjoyed the movie, I was left a little confused by Oliver's message, which seemed a bit contradictory from his attitudes in the mainstream media, which clearly attributes his dislike for 'the man' and his politics, as much as his disdain for President Bush's father ... or any elitist.

What I saw in this movie ... was a young man growing into manhood, who has done what other young men have done in their youth; party, drink, party, work in unsatisfying jobs trying to 'find themselves' even looking for their father's or mother's approval.

Of course George W. Bush was born with the 'Silver Spoon' and afforded more opportunities than most, but Oliver's depiction left me with an opinion that George was not really that much different than a 'regular guy' fulfilling a demanding role that would leave the most vulnerable ant under a magnifying glass ... a little concerned.

Perhaps what Oliver was trying to say; George is really nothing more than a common man, as he struggles with 'Choosing the right words' for a press conference ... and coming off as looking like a man, who doesn't know what to say ... under pressure. This picture left me with an empathy for George W. Bush, maybe because I could see what Oliver Stone was attempting in his portrayal.

I guess I could see how the President would struggle with a question from the media, about his mistakes, especially from any man who claims to be re-born ... or consciously thinking and knowing: there are so many mistakes that have plagued his LIFE, not only as a young man, but in his job (Presidency) as well.

I seem to remember the press conference when the President was asked about those mistakes, and I could see how difficult it would be to answer something like that, in front of millions ... unless you were Bill Clinton ... and could just LIE to the American public with absolutely no remorse whatsoever. The TRUTH ... Bill Clinton openly LIED and people seemed to embrace him, while the ultra liberal media looked another way ... and now they want to show a conscious thought on mistakes lived ... as a weakness or having an indecisive character.

I made notice of the audience on this Friday matinee of being, mostly ... Baby Boomers with about one third in that 25 - 35 demographic. There were many symbolic pieces of music peppered though this movie, taking us back and moving 'us' forward through the years ... that were carefully chosen to deliver a subliminal message.

I spoke with one couple, who seemed to embrace this flick as a documentary as much as I may have ... but also being of the mind ... we can no longer believe anything that is put in front of us anymore. We have only seen George's LIFE from a distance, and through the media ... but with the political landscape and the crafted media from the left and right ... who really knows anymore?

I can say this: I have become more of an observer as much as an opinionated mouth when I see the World's landscape changing before me, and it would be a tough job ... being in George Bush's position especially with my background. I wasn't born with that silver spoon ... but this movie, left me with a feeling that while he may not be totally the classiest guy in college, he certainly seemed down to earth, even if he does talk with food in his mouth. Josh Brolin did a fantastic job in his portrayal.

Maybe it was the sincerity in both the character and portrayal bleeding through that leaves me with a feeling that George W. Bush did not drop the ball, as much as Oliver Stone wants us to believe that he has.

I liked the movie, and felt that Condoleeza Rice's character was parodied as ineptly as the true to LIFE Hillary Clinton, or lying Barrack Obama. That is how despicable politics have become and if Oliver Stone would do a TRUE story on the LIVES of Democrats like Bill & Hillary Clinton or Barrack ... then that would really be something! But I doubt VERY seriously, if any FILM maker with money would have the balls. Now if you give me the funding ... I have a pair ... and very willing, just let me know.
