Unexpected point of view of the most controversial American President. Oliver Stone offered us another transformational history lesson. Only in the United States can it happen that a movie get funded about the leader of the country. Painting a canvas of 40 years of W.'s life spoiled from the beginning and freeing himself from the stifling stranglehold of a powerful father, Josh Brolin created an Oscar level performance. Richard Dreyfuss' at his best as VP. Mr. Stone offered another Presidential chronicle that everyone worldwide should rush to theaters to learn forgiveness and broaden the view. We Americans recognize we lived in dangerous times:9/11. Katrina, bailout on the same man's plate. We felt that good old George was trying his damnedest, and the struggle called for him to play a game so difficult for the average Joe to comprehend. You brought that out in W. to a great extent. In the years to come, Bush's legacy will be recognized as it was displayed in you AAA motion picture as you did with JFK. Thank you, Mr. Stone! Love and respect from one of your most avid fans.
