Except this is a movie.
Yeah. Even though I said it, there's no way this film will be equal to the fuck ups and lies in Bush's administration.
But this is more than a movie in the way that JFK or Platoon were more than movies. Stone is notorious for playing fast and loose with facts to get his own wacked out story across. I don't even know if he believes half the stuff he slops together. Perhaps he figures it's okay to "dramatize" to make it more entertaining.
But think of all the folks that saw JFK and took the conspiracy theory as credible. Even conspiracy theorists considered it shit when it came out.
Bush has done enough to fuck up his own legacy. I don't think he'll need any help from Stone to get that across. But Stone will again speculate and create to fill in gaps and *poof* the masses will run with it and it'll be the asterik on Bush's biography.
That being said, I'll probably still go see it.
