I admittedly didn’t finish watching this movie, but it seems like a worst-case scenario depiction of Bush as a person. What’s particularly disturbing is that even amongst his obnoxious frat-boy friends at Yale he is portrayed as, ultimately, a loser - they cheer him on, but more as that bonehead they keep along because he’s amusing than as a leader of any sort. The problem with the movie is that it was incredibly boring, or at least the first hour or so of it I watched was. But, I like the idea of taking a non-fiction framework and then filling it in with a plausible interpretation, which may be a decent description of all fiction. Its fun to see how far you can stretch things within the bounds of plausibility.
