W.

Oliver Stone's third film about US presidents after "JFK" and "Nixon" deals with what drove George W. Bush to become the president. According to Stone and writer Stanley Weiser he was the never well to do son of a former president who refused to be passed on by his father who favored his brother to become next president in the family which lead George W. to be blind sided by obsession and ambition to please his father more than serve the people of his country. Stone surprisingly makes George W. more likable than initially anticipated. Since the focus is the on the father and son relationship, the other issues come short including key players of the Bush administration. Josh Brolin is perfectly cast Goerge W. with the strongest performance in the film. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
