Profile of W

W can be described as cynical, sincere, and clever. The plot revolves around a head of state, a rise to the top, and Americana. The main genre is drama. In approach, W is serious and realistic. It is located in Washington DC and Texas. It takes place in the 1960s, in the 1980s, and in the 1990s. W is drawn from a biography and originally a true story. Note that it involves drugs/alcohol and profanity.

Summary of W

Flashbacks to key events in his life reveal the rise of George W. Bush from ne'er-do-well party boy and son of privilege to president of the United States. After trading in booze for religion, George mends his aimless ways and sets his sights first on the Texas governorship, then on the presidency. But the country's involvement in the Iraq war decreases his approval rating.

Check your party affiliations at the door. If you're looking for a deep probing look into the man and his presidency, this movie isn't for you. This movie is just a glimpse into the motivations W. had and the reasoning behind his actions, stemming... Read and rate it
