Review of W. (2008) by Markl. — 31 Oct 2008
I did expect that the movie would cast Bush in a bad light, but do so in an interesting and educative way. This was a Bush critique at the level of a Middle School yard fight. Virtually every scene showed him as a weakling, bafoon, or eviildoer.
It was a boring and obvious caricature, not a movie that explained his (perceived) failures in an intelligent or illuminative light. There was no hint of the qualities and strengths that made him president, and before that, a successful and immensely popular Governor, and therefore, no explanation why these qualities failed him and the country during the last eight years.
