W...The Movie

When I first heard about W. I was a little apprehensive. Normally, filmmakers go for the outlandish and mock the character the whole way through. However, from the reviews I have read, most people find it is a fair and balanced look at Bush's life from a spoiled young man to the leader of our nation. The reviewers comment on the acting quality saying Josh Brolin is very good with his mannerisms and accents, and the filmography itself was done well. While some felt it went a little soft on the overall story, for instance, when compared to Nixon, but it was still a worthwhile movie to go see. I for one am ready to see a movie that is related to politics that is not bashing character or pulling skeletons out of the closet, but looking objectively at one man's life that wether you like it or not, has made a huge impact on our country.
