Oliver Stone on W., and the President Who Would Be John Wayne
The son also rises
Well, people are always stuffing their faces in this movie.
You’ve been there. You know what that’s about. They’re big. They talk big. They eat big.
I guess what I’m saying is that the movie strikes me as being more than just a portrait of Bush. It feels like a panorama of America at this moment in time.
It’s a mind-set. A lot of people voted for this man because they like him. Like with John Wayne — you hate his politics, but you like his screen performances. There’s something about the American character that loves the pioneer spirit of can-do-ism and not backing down. Chris Matthews said, “Americans like presidents like Bush. He’s not like one of those narrow-shouldered British prime ministers.”
