Oliver Stone Hearts Dubya
People have been wondering what depravities Oliver Stone will visit on George W. Bush in his upcoming biopic “W” (Oct. 17). But a clever profile in the Times of London notes that the two men are in many ways similar: Both enrolled at Yale the same year; both have big-time “Daddy issues”; etc. Indeed, Stone is not without sympathy for Bush: “It is a human portrait of a man, not meant to insult people who believe in what Bush believes in,” he says. Stone continues: “You laugh in your mind, because Bush is a goof-ball, because he’s awkward, but at the same time he has a stubborn-ness, a John Wayne ethos, an anger, an impatience, that make him fascinating. You may hate Wayne’s politics, but you may well enjoy his company on screen.”
