Homz Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I viewed the Oliver Stone film 'W.' last night. Good movie. I didn't say great, but I did get somethings out of the movie. Surprising to me was by the end of the film I actually had more respect for our former president. The film made him seem more man then image. I actually felt bad for the guy. Assuming the basic facts detailed in the film mixed with the obvious private situation fictions, the movie captured my attention. I suggest you all watch it.

FennRx Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Gran Torino is awesome. This film is to Clint what Bill and Ted was to Keanu Reeves. Except Gran Torino is actually funny (at times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homz...I'm interested in how you had more respect for him because he seemed more man than image. When you say you felt bad for him, do you mean you felt sorry for him - as in maybe he had been manipulated or controlled in some way ? I haven't seen the film btw.

The real villains of the show were Cheney and Rummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homz Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Was it UAW night out at the movies? I doubt you'd think it a propaganda flick if you actually watched it. It would probably put a few dents in the 'W. The God', but over all I'd say just a bit harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
