\"W.\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to see a totally other movie today, but somehow the schedules got all messed up and I ended up watching “W.<\/a>“.\u00a0 I haven’t seen any trailers or posters for the film, except at the time of buing the ticket.\u00a0 And to tell you the truth, I wasn’t very pleased with the thought of watching more about George W. Bush – one man who has been on the screens way more than he deserves.\u00a0 However, the alternative was a really bad remake of a really bad sci-fi movie of the 1950s, so I went for it.<\/p>\n

And that turned out to be a good decision.\u00a0 “W.” is one of those movies with the coolest cast, however very under-promoted due to not so popular ideas or angles.\u00a0 “W.” was directed by Oliver Stone – one of the best directors to bring a controversial and unpopular discussion to the table.\u00a0 Roles were played by Josh Brolin, James Cromwell, Scott Glenn, Jeffrey Wright, and a few other people that you will no doubt recognize.<\/p>\n

What I liked the most about the movie was how the good and the bad were shown.\u00a0 There was a whole range of characters, some of who were shown good with a few bad mistakes behind their belts, and some of who were bad with some good deeds done.\u00a0 And while the film was mostly about George W. Bush, each and every character was given enough time and development.\u00a0 Overall, it’s a really nice look at good and bad, morale and ethics, tough decisions, historical judgements, and rewards.<\/p>\n

One other thing that I liked was how similar were the characters in the movie to their real prototypes. Not being an American, not living in the USA, not following the political scene closely, and havinga really bad memory for names, I was amazed with how fast I could recognize the characters.\u00a0 Often I even had to look closer to see if the character was played by the actor or if any real documentary footage was used.\u00a0 That, of course, is a combination of actors’ work with make-up, costume design, and camera operators.\u00a0 In the end – an excellent result.<\/p>\n

I’d rate this film as 7 out of 10<\/strong>.\u00a0 Recommended to anyone who is interested in today’s world and an alternative look on how and why things ended up being as they are.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
