This is an excellent, astonishing documentary.
Here, it's all incredibly intimate, close-up (literally 1 foot away) footage of George Bush on his campaigning trips around America prior to his eventual election as president. Not surprisingly, Bush Jnr is actually not particularly interesting as a person - he appears a rather simple, uninteresting person of very simple tastes and abilities.
He never says anything profound and, indeed, every statement he makes on policy (including keynote speeches at various venues around America, with audiences of 3000) appears to be nothing more than the usual meaningless platitudes. 'I pledge to return to honour' and the like, all delivered in his usual John Doe, ebulient yet simple manner.
You get him kind of flirting here with the film-maker, Pelosi; she is AWFUL! She has one of those terrible, yawning, boring, whining and unengaging American accents that just sends you to sleep. We get her personal observations and voice-over narration whether we like it or not! The film would've been more interesting without ANY of her comments at all.
However, the amazing spectacle is looking at the film from now, 2003. You get this Worlds Most Powerful Man stuff in, probably, the most intimate portrait ever of a President.
Poor quality film; amateurish editing, too! Some of it filmed personally by the Man himself (but who was filming Him using Pelosi's camera filming the press pack around him?).
