This weekend I viewed the film “W.” This film was an insight into the Bush administration and the development of his person through life experiences. It can be viewed as a mockery, as completely false, or just as in interesting piece of political media. I find this film to be particularly religious in ways in the moral and ethical compromises needed to be a politician. This is seen on several occasions through making decisions concerning the well being of other humans by a removed party like a president. While in office, Bush is faced with difficult decision of this nature like all men I power usually are. The innocence that is portrayed in his character is an interesting directing choice, making him a passive bystander while others run the show. The characterization of Bush does not excuse him from the unpleasant administration he ran since September 11th, but instead sheds a light on his strong morality that’s weakness is the bullheaded state of mind. Being stuck in his fundamental values is contradictive with the mass population, since medium and mediocrity is a political stronghold according to Roderick P. Hart, a political communications scholar. Men with less strong values with attract a greater amount of people, as seen in religions. A religion with a vaster appeal to more people is spread more rapidly and prolifically. This is why many religions that have similar values are very popular in quantity of followers, like Christianity and Hinduism.
