Had you heard about this one? Bush has been in a number of Brit. films; none of which give him very good treatment but this is the first time to my knowledge, they had him assassinated. I don't think the Brits will ever forgive Bush for turning one of their most popular leaders into a poodle. British movie depicts Bush's "assassination" By Kevin Sullivan The Washington Post LONDON — Nearly every British newspaper on Friday carried photos of the assassination of President Bush, or at least the eerily realistic depiction of it from a new documentary-style television film that is causing an uproar in Britain. The film, "Death of a President," has been alternatively derided as a tasteless publicity grab and defended as a serious look at a plausible event that could have dramatic ramifications for the world. "It's a disturbing film," said Peter Dale, head of More4, the television channel that will broadcast the film Oct. 9, after its Sept. 10 debut at the Toronto International Film Festival. "It raises questions about the effects of American foreign policy, and particularly the war on terror," said Dale, who denied criticism that the film made an anti-Bush or anti-U.S. political statement. "It's a fairly attention-grabbing premise, but behind that is a serious and thought-provoking film." The film uses actors and digital manipulation of real footage to show a fictional account of Bush being gunned down by a sniper after making a speech in Chicago in October 2007. The investigation immediately centers on a Syrian-born gunman, and a shocked nation confronts the war on terrorism in the post-Bush era. Dale said the assassination scene, which comes about 10 minutes into the 90-minute film, is a glimpse rather than "a gratuitously lengthy gazing kind of scene." He said it was "very small in comparison to the blood and death we see daily in the news" from Iraq. "We know some people are going to be offended," Dale said. "But you always risk offending people when you open people's eyes to the way the world is. Sometimes the truth is a bit unpalatable." At the White House, spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore said: "We are not commenting because it [the film] doesn't dignify a response." The blogs are lighting up with debate about the appropriateness of the subject matter. Thomas Lifson — editor of the political blog, The American Thinker — called the movie "political pornography." continued.............. seattletimes.nwsource.com
