Scene:
W. is a fantastic movie about the life and times of our infamous 43rd president, George W. Bush. The movie was actually much better than I thought it would be. I thought it would be a very liberal movie that just makes fun of Bush the whole time, but it really wasn’t. It actually told the whole story and allows you to decide for yourself whether or not Bush was a good president. Just like JFK allows us to look at the facts and decide for ourselves whether or not Kennedy was killed by just Oswald or multiple people. The movie kept your attention throughout with a few jokes thrown in.
That was the thing, jokes were just thrown in at times throughout this actual serious movie. I thought was just going to be a comedy, but it was more of a serious drama with a lot of comedic relief and I loved it. The movie had classic Oliver Stone direction, which is amazing at all times. The way he directs, he can turn the littlest thing into something exciting. The acting was fantastic by all especially Josh Brolin and Richard Dreyfuss, they were perfect for their parts, Brolin really made me think he was Bush at times and Dreyfuss was just hilarious throughout.
If your a fan of Oliver Stone you should see this movie. Its a funny drama that keeps you interested because it actually pertains to your life after the movie. It’s not a movie that’s hysterically laugh out loud funny that you thought it might be from the trailers, but it does have a lot of funny moments. What it is, is a drama that makes you think throughout and laugh at random times during. Don’t miss the chance to see this movie just because you actually like Bush. It’s not trying to change your mind, it’s just telling a story.
Grade: A
Martin Scorsese, the director of such masterpieces known as Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed, Gangs of New York, etc. Has bee rumored to be directing a new Mob movie. His next two movies are entitled Shutter Island and Silence. Shutter Island is scheduled for Oct. 2nd 2009 and is about US Marshall in search of an insane asylum escapee you is presumed to be on a remote island. Silence is set to release sometime in 2010 and is the story of two priests who witness the death of their people by the hand of their peopl and wonder why god remains silent while these deaths continue.
Now don’t get me wrong, these sound like good movies themselves, but there’s been rumors floating around that Martin Scorsese is directing another Mafia Film set to release sometime between 2010 and 2011 that’s about the prime suspect in the Jimmy Hoffa murder. Possibly best of all, Robert De Niro is playing the main character. The movie is titled, I Heard You Painted Houses, which refers to slang, which means a mob hit, where splattered blood is used instead of paint. I for one am extremely excited and hope the project gets underway as soon as possible.
A CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY OF THE GREATEST CHARACTER OF ALL TIME
The psychopathic, schizophrenic, clown prince of crime, or otherwise known as The Joker is the greatest villain/character ever depicted on screen. The Joker is the definition of evil. He kills anyone and anything just to have fun and doesn’t care if he gets killed himself because it will cause anarchy and chaos and that’s his goal in life. He doesn’t want money or power, he just wants to see everyone around him in pain and agony. He can do anything he wants because he has the will to, because he’s not afraid of pain, death or punishment. It’s my believe that fear itself isn’t afraid of anything.
There is one question that peole ask and that is, why? Why? is the Joker so sick and twisted. And the answer to that question, I believe is also the answer to another. How did The Joker get those scars? Well, there is no sure answer, but I have a fact based theory on why the first story he tells is the true one. First of all, one quote says it all, “I believe…whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger.” I think that his father carving his face made him stranger. Second of all, really look at him when he’s telling the stories, which one is he having a fun time telling and which one is he more serious with. You can see that the first really takes a toll on him when he tells it. Lastly, and most important of all, The Joker knew how one becomes a “freak” as he calls it. He knows that Batmans a “freak” because he lost his parents, he knows he became a “freak” when he lost his mom, and best of all he knew how to make Harvey a “freak” by killing his loved one. The Joker even says at the end, “I took your white knight and I brought ‘im down to our level, I wasn’t hard see cause as you know madness is a lot like, gravity, sometimes all it takes is a little…push.”
The Joker is about as close to the anti-christ as a person can get. The Dark Knight asks you a question through out the movie, Is it ok to kill a person, if killing that person will truly make the world a better place? Batman thinks the answer is no, Joker’s answer would be to kill the guy who asked the question, just for fun. From the the infamous pencil trick, to making men fight to death with a pool stick, from standing in the way of a speedin gmotorcycle, to applauding Jim Gordan’s promotion, from escaping prison with a piece of glass that he got from Batman bashing his head against a mirror, to blowing up a hospital in a nurses outfit, from burning hundreds of millions of dollars, to falling to his death and laughing hysterically the whole way down, The Joker is the greatest character of all time. He is as evil as every single villain wish they could be, but no one ever can be or ever will. The Joker is Heath Ledger’s masterpiece.
