this movie is from the same guy who did the movie nixon which was overly dramatic one sided, and untrue to historical events.

typical of the lefties.

i'll ovoid this movie like the plague unless it is funny as an accident, kinda like farenheit was lampooning how stupid bush was, before family guy and american dad got in on the act.


You would be better off watching the movie (I didn't say pay for it) and making notes of all the inaccuracies. That way, when people like Arnie try to claim something as fact from the movie, you'll be well armed to dispel the myth.

Of course, that won't matter much I guess. Most of the people that go to see the movie will already have their minds made up and nothing anyone says to dispute the claims in the movie will change their mind. Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 had the same effect and people continue to speak the falsehoods portrayed as facts from those movies.

A list of inaccuracies would be helpfull indeed (btw, is there a list for columbine and fahrenheit?)

But I'm seriously interested in this movie. I really like Stone movies like Alexander, Any Given Sunday, Savior, JFK and Born On The 4th Of July.
Besides it's also about the life of Bush as I understand and I like the guy when he's not playing President. It's a fun guy to hang out with.

We'll see if it's propaganda...
