Is Oliver Stone's Bush Movie a Terrible Hoax?

A version of the screenplay for Oliver Stone's new movie about George W. Bush — the working title is "W." — has been floating around the news recently, and most people are curious as to whether it's a joke. Tough call. On one hand, it is campy and politically over-the-top; on the other, it is post-1992 Oliver Stone film, like Alexander or Nixon. Slate read the script and picked out some choice moments, and one of them involves America's president describing himself as a rabbit in a "carrot patch." But who doesn't?

• Pages 14-16: Before Laura is in the picture, W. dates Judy, "a blonde, curvaceous Texas cowgirl." Judy needs a lot of reassurance: "How many times do I have to tell you, you're my gal. I'm as happy as a rabbit in a carrot patch with you," insists W. at a Texas bar.
• Page 45: W. treats his advisers like DKE pledges. He calls Wolfowitz "Wolfmeister" and at one point tells him to "think about trimmin' those ear hairs."
• Page 3: Cheney suggests that Iraq may just be the beginning. "Anyone can go to Baghdad. Real men go to Tehran," says the VP. Pleased with this witticism, W. clinks his bottle of nonalcoholic beer against the VP's coffee mug.
• Page 71: W. isn't too happy when his father wins the presidency: "I'll never get out of Poppy's shadow," he tells Laura. "They'll all keep sayin' what's the boy ever done ... I mean who ever remembers the son of a President?" Laura's rejoinder is heavy with dramatic irony: "You forgot John Quincy Adams."
• Page 25: When press secretary Ari Fleischer reports that Helen Thomas is asking around "about secret plans for military actions in Iraq" and wondering "what makes Saddam any different from other dictators," W. flips out: "Did you tell her I don't like motherfuckers who gas their own people?! Did you tell her I don't like assholes who try to kill my father?! [...] Did you tell her I'm going to kick his SORRY MOTHERFUCKING ASS ALL OVER THE MIDEAST?!"

Isn’t it incredibly bad?

[ThePythonicCow]

Have you read that script?

No ... haven't. Don't plan on reading it, either.

It was good news that Mr. Stone was having trouble filling some of the lead male roles.

[Hildy]

YUP..that’s the script I have!

[Hildy]

Did you tell her I don't like assholes who try to kill my father?! [...] Did you tell her I'm going to kick his SORRY MOTHERFUCKING ASS ALL OVER THE MIDEAST?!"

Well, looks like he got something right!

[Hildy]

Do you think people would be angry to learn it’s being financed by Communist China? I feel like Bob Dole in 1996 -WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE???

"Isn’t it incredibly bad?"

My wife and I were discussing this earlier this evening, and she mentioned that Stone will try to release it before the election. I said that Michael Moore tried this four years ago, and I don't think "President Kerry" was helped much. Besides which, John McCain isn't George W. Bush, so I don't see what Stone's point is.

[Hildy]

Stone thinks he can make money during an election year, like Michael Moore did. Stone’s brain is fried from years of drug use. It’s the only reasonable explanation.

[ThePythonicCow]

Do you think people would be angry to learn it’s being financed by Communist China?

Well ... as Willie Sutton said: "that's where the money is.”

If the Chinese are knowingly funding negative films of their enemies, then I'm glad to hear that they consider Bush one of their enemies.

There was another FR thread on this film, a month ago: Bush Biographers Mixed On Script For Oliver Stone's 'W'

[Hildy]

There’s no way you could know this...but my Father wrote that book WHERE THE MONEY WAS with Willie Sutton the bank robber! I got to know Sutton pretty well...LOL!

[ThePythonicCow]

It’s a small world.

[Hildy]

...But I wouldn’t want to paint it (Old Steve Wright joke).

[metesky]

If anything in the movie turns out to be true I’m not voting for Bush again.

JOSH BROLIN as Dubya?

Never saw it, but I heard he got great reviews for No Country. With a career finally hitting it’s stride, why would he choose to appear in a stinker like this?

Nobody seems to care because nobody watches Oliver Stone’s crappy movies anymore.

[visualops]

He was outstanding in No Country for Old Men. In fact he was far superior to the lead actor. That movie went down the tubes about 2/3 thru though.

"Anyone can go to Baghdad. Real men go to Tehran,"

LOL
