Oliver Stone is pushing a new script to the movie studios about the life of George W. Bush, who is purportedly going to be portrayed on the big screen by Josh Brolin. The movie is currently named "Bush." He sure is getting creative with the titles of his Presidential biopics. When Stone was questioned on his personal opinion of the President he declined to answer the question directly. Stone was sure to point out that he wanted this movie to be a "fair, true portrait of the man."
The movie will focus on the President's life and his rise to the most powerful powerful public office in the world. If you're anything like me you probably just rolled your eyes. Surely he knows that this movie will ultimately become whatever he makes it. In short, if he wants this movie to be fair and honest it will be -- if he doesn't, it won't be. Stone wasn't finished there, he then goes on to ask, "How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?" Fantastic, thank God he appears to be commited to that fair and true portrait of the President's life!
He goes on to to talk about the President's conversion to Christianity, which he says "explains a lot of where he is coming from. It includes his belief that God personally chose him to be president of the United States, and his coming into his own with the stunning, preemptive attack on Iraq." Oliver Stone has no intention of being objective with this film, as if it didn't seem obvious with the first sentence that came out of his mouth. Is this guy even trying or do liberals just expect they won't be challenged by the media when being interviewed?
Overall, this movie is likely to be nothing more than another bashing of Christianity and a distorted record of history, which has been kept under tight wraps under the working titles "POTUS," and "Misunderestimated." I certainly don't think I have misunderestimated Oliver Stone's intentions here, and I'll be sure to miss this movie. Somehow, I doubt I'll be alone in that.
