The drama takes the form of a fictional documentary looking back at the assassination of Mr Bush in October 2007, after he has delivered a speech to business leaders in Chicago.

When Mr Bush arrives in the city he is confronted by a massive demonstration against the Iraq war and is gunned down by a sniper as he leaves the venue. The hunt for Mr Bush's killer focuses on a Syrian-born man, Jamal Abu Zikri.

When I first heard about it it seemed pretty sick, but reading more into it, it sounds like it could be interesting. Less about the assassination and more about what that assassination could cause.

Though I've suddenly realised that the search string I used to look for articles on this story could be ill advised:
film george bush assassinated...

"Christ! This guy wants to film himself assassinating the president!"

Come to think of it this post sure has the word assassinate along with the name George Bush a lot…

Hey, don’t usually hear helicopters around here…

HERO


I'm a big fan of alternate history and speculative historical fiction. I am not a big fan of films depicting the assanation of the President.

Here's my solution. Fiction like this is not appropriate when the subject is a sitting President. I could go back a write about the assanation of President Clinton in 1994 leading to the defeat of ALGORE in 1996 and the capture and trial of Osama Bin Ladden in 1998 and the spontanious outbreak of world peace following the 11 Emmy's won by Firefly in 2002. That would be ok. Or I could write a speculative piece substituting a generic character in the place of George Bush and set in a contemporary timeperiod now or in the near future. All that would be ok and has been done in various forms. I've even read good novels set in the future that alludes to fictional events and real-life characters in the present (the Axis of Time trilogy for example).

This film however crosses the imaginary line of good taste and good sense. It should be condemned.

Something tells me that a man who cannot walk out of a room without help, who cannot chew food without choking and cannot complete a basic phrase without mangling it beyond recognition is not going to be much of a challenge for any would-be assassin.

However President Bush has a protection beyond the Secret Service, beyond respect for human life, beyond bullet proof vests. It is these two words that doubtlessly have saved his life these past few years.

President Cheney.

I suspect this is something the film will address. Presumably it will therefore be classified as a horror.

I haven't seen the film, but speculation is always good. I think, given what happened to this country in the great 'throwing in the trash of the bill of rights' after 9-11, if the president got assassinated, we would all be seriously f^&ked. It's something that should be speculated about. Anything that could effect social change is. It's what science fiction is about. The more possible the event,m the more valid the speculation. "what if tall people had godlike powers" is a dumb idea not worth a lot of speculation, but "what if someone engineers a retrovirus that turns us all into monkeys" is interesting, because it could happen. So, sure.

MISBEHAVEN


Well, I'm certainly not a fan of George Bush, but I'm not entirely comfortable with a film depicting the assassination of a sitting President. That said, I don't think it should be censored anymore than I think the Clinton docudrama should be censored. The film will likely raise some interesting questions to be sure, but you can count on Republicans to spin this movie for their own purposes, as they will probably use it to help galvanzie their base before the elections. And as much as I loathe Bush, the last thing I want to see is him assassinated. Revisionist historians would undoubtedly depict him as a magnificent leader and a champion of freedom, and not the inept jackass that he is.

America loves a winner!


When a political group ( The Left ) is so utterly bankrupt of ideas and has become so completely irelevent, this is the depths which some are willing to sink.

I believe this crosses the line of 'responsible' free speech,and that if the writers/ directors of this movie step foot in the US, they should be detained. Threatening the life of a sitting President,(which is clearly exactly what this movie depticts ) is against US law. They can dress it up any way they want, as 'an exercise in thought provoking fiction', or what ever the hell they call it, I call it down right evil. We don't need a 'fictional' national tragedy to amuse some pin headed fascination as to how a nation copes w/ another crisis. A generation before mine dealt w/ the assassination of JFK. Where were you when you heard the news... . Virtually every man and woman who was alive then can tell us exactly where they were, and what they were doing. Since then, we've had single events which brought the nation to tears, none the least of which was 9/11.

Given today's climate in the world, with Islamo-fascist murdering folks all over the globe, this is the most dispicable and reckless piece of shit I've ever heard.

Suppose someone does a 'fictional' film depicting the murder of someone close to the director, or the producers ? Perhaps the violent rape and mutilation of a mother, wife, or daughter ? How 'introspective' do you think THAT movie would be viewed?

I give them credit for at least choosing a leader from a FREE nation. Theo Van Gogh's death taught them not to make snuff films about Islamic leaders. Those folks don't take even the most vague or 'sophisticated' criticisms very well at all. Seems certain folks, UBL, Saddam, Iran's President, all are granted a pass for their deeds.

Then again, Matt Stone and Trey Parker didn't show any fear in the making of Team America!

I read a lot of bitter blog entries about this film. The only thing I can advise is that people watch the makers' previous fake documentary "The Day Britain Stopped" which was made for British TV. Despite being of a sensationalist theme, it was extremely well made and was told in a very matter of fact way. (which did make it kinda boring in some parts) and there was no evidence (to me at least) of any bias towards the left or right.

I think once people see the Death of a President film, they will wonder what all the fuss was about.

This issue was actually rather thoroughly debated at a convention I was present at once, and I guess I'll offer my input here, as I did then.

First and foremost, you can't cack the POTUS.

I mean, you could, but it's the most self-destructive and useless action you could possibly take to make any social or political change, and I highly doubt even the most bitter and hardened of terrorists would do so - not only do they risk his replacement with someone actually competent, but also in that it would solidify resentment against them, and most terrorists are well-aware of how to utilize public sympathy, as hezbollah has shown in the recent past.

That's not a moral judgement, those are just some rather self-evident facts.

And as for internal terrorist types like McVeigh, Krar, and the like, it's unlikely, because when a man assumes the oval office, when he takes up the mantle of the POTUS, he *BECOMES* that office, and no matter how vile and despicable a man he is, he is the living personification of americas leadership and thus any strike against him would be one against not only all of america, but the very IDEA of america - and even most domestic terrorists would not do this, as their ire is directed mostly at the direction america has gone, it's policies or agencies, but very few, if any of them are set against the concept.

I think it's quite telling and ironic that our resident trolls don't have a problem with a president being assassinated, but only that they have a problem with the one who's nuts they are currently riding being cacked - it speaks volumes about what they really care about, placing their party above their country, but that's always been their way.

The very first attempted assassination of a president was almost certainly assisted, if not plotted, by that party, and failed because both of the miscreants pistols misfired, whereupon president jackson had to be physically restrained from beating the damned fool to death with his cane.
http://americanhistory.si.edu/PRESIDENCY/3d1c.html
It was jacksons destruction of the national bank and actually bringing our country out of debt for the first, last, and only time in it's history that so angered the whigs, later to become the republicans we all know and 'love' today.

So is it really any wonder they don't have a problem with presidental assassination, long as it's not their president ?

Anyhow, you can't cack the POTUS, it's stupid, irresponsible, solves nothing and would create a cascade of consequences not the least of which would be an outpouring of public hatred towards the cause of whomever tried it.

And a film detailing that fallout - sure, there's a place for it, and if anything it would *discourage* those who would consider it, and I cannot see that as a bad thing.

It would depend a lot on the film, whether it's a realistic "What-if" piece, or whether it overshadows reality with it's own 'message' to the point of distortion.

For mine own, I'd reserve judgement till I saw it.

Auraptor,

So you want our president to be shot?
I think most people who think about shooting our current president (I estimate there are probably one million actively planning it at the moment) - do not think of the consequences of their actions. Think of how this govt. in a bipartisan way exploited 9-11 to dismantle an institution I used to call america. Now think of what this govt., not any other govt. like the kennedy or lincoln govt, would handle an assassination. It would probably institute gun control. Its worth speculating. I think that the only thing in between a bullet and bush is a billion dollars worth of security. He's already had at least one assassination attempt that we know of. The film would undoubtedly decrease the chances of bush being assassinated, not increase it.

But maybe you've thought through to the next level. If bush were assassinated, then cheney could run for reelection in 2008, whereas cheney could never win an open gop primary. So maybe assassinating bush is just what a very pro bush person might do.

It never ceases to amaze me how immoral a political group can get that they take any opportunity to blame another for all ills... .

Seriously man, it's made in Britain for British TV, it's nothing to do with American left/right politics. It's nothing to do with British left/right politics. It's nothing to do with Bush haters.

Why must you judge everything by how 'right' (know what I mean?) you perceive it to be?

Bush assassination movie gets U.S. deal

...Gabriel Range, the British producer/director/creator of "Death of a President," the fictional documentary that sight unseen became one of the most talked-about movies of the Toronto Film Festival, has sold U.S. distribution rights to Newmarket Films, which handled Mel Gibson's equally provocative movie "The Passion of the Christ"...



I can't help but wonder if those who were vilifying the Clintons for blasting the recent ABC "docu-drama" will do the same to those who oppose this film. Somehow, I doubt it... I imagine this will be, instead, yet another partisan discussion.

EDIT- Please note the distributor is the same that distributed "Passion of the Christ". Not exactly a leftist film.

When a political group (the Right) has run out of progressive and intellegent things to say it starts looking for arguments with everyone else.
Was'nt Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Pinochet etc on the right of the political spectrum?

First of all, the story ( attributed to Mossolini ) that the trains ran on time is a myth.

Second, it's AURaptor. At least get THAT right, if nothing else.

Moussolini was a FASCIST dictator. Neither of which ( fascist or dictator ) go anywhere to describe what a conservative is in today's US politics. Poor attempt on your part to try to draw any sort of connection, pin head.

And you trying to call me a NAZI only shows that you're a fucking ignorant MORONN for not even knowing what NAZIs were.

p.s. - Progressive is nothing more than a code word for socialist. Not overly impressive, either way. Intelligent ? A debate could be made that neither Right or Left could offeres much in the way of intelligence as displayed in D.C.

If I didn't recall that Kim Jong Il had died, then you can't accuse me of approving of movies which show (puppet) world leaders dying. You're back to 1 for three.

Actually, I'm a conservative Libertarian ( There is no party registration here in GA, so I'm pretty much what ever I say I am ). Your non sequitur comment about GOP presenting false info as 'fact' is utterly baseless and invalid. That crispy scent you smell is your own hide being toasted.

The only thing you did get right was that I was against the Bush assassination movie. Were Clinton still in office, and such a movie was made, I'd be just as against this crap. Doesn't matter the party affiliation, as long as it's a sitting President, I'm against it.

Hope that clears some things up for ya.

Er...first off, it would be legally and etically wrong to detain someone for making a movie, which is a piece of fiction. You shouldn't restrict the right to free speech just because you find a film offensive. And, yeah, I do find this a bit er, unsavory; but I do realize that it's a work of fiction, and just because I don't care to see it doesn't mean that people who are interested in it shouldn't be able to see it.

No, not a liberal...except when it comes to civil liberties. Actually, I take that back, I am a little bit liberal...so, I do have a bit of a bias. However, speaking from a strictly legal sense, there's nothing wrong with this movie.

No, selective memory is what Democrats are good at, eg. Mrs Clinton 'forgetting' about the Rose Law Firm billing records which were in her private WH office for over 2 years, while she had 'no idea' where they were. Despite the fact that those files were subpoened. And her fingerprints were all over them as well. Oops.

Some world leaders are better than others. Small, pot bellied dictators from N.Korea are fair game. Sitting US Presidents aren't.

Auraptor,

first off, no way. Us presidents are ALWAYS fair game.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

That said, I have to congratulate you on a fresh can of worms.

Hillary Clinton killed her law parter, Vince Foster, and she did it personally. I think she poisoned his wine, and then had her thugs roll him up in a carpet, which also went missing from her office. There's an interesting book on the subject "The Strange Death of Vincent Foster" by Christopher Ruddy. Ruddy lays out all the details of the case, without technically saying anything. But the details of the case, by themselves, in the unbiased manner in which they are presented, speak volumes.

Part of me wants Hillary Clinton to be the candidate in '08, because of this, but I wonder, would John McCain actually say it? It would be nice if ABC or someone would do a TV special a few weeks before the 2008 election...

VIDEO DOWNLOAD: Ronald Reagan Assasination Attempt
Bush family friend and business associate John Hinkley Jr was arrested for allegedly shooting President Ronald Reagan, 3 months after stealing the election with CIA director Bush Sr's treasonous October Surprise kidnapping of US embassy hostages in Iran. This coup d'etat promoted Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire to president 8 years early. George Bush Jr released Hinkley from the Loony Bin to spend time at home with his CIA father, who also employed the Lone Nut shooter of John Lennon. Hinkley Jr was found Not Guilty "by reason of insanity". CIA agent Bush Sr was photographed in Dealy Plaza the day President JFK Sr was assassinated, and FBI director J Edgar Hoover wrote a letter to Bush in the CIA discussing CIA's Operation Northwoods plan to use Cubans to perp terrorist assassinations in USA

The dinner was canceled. Additionally, the Bush family and Hinckley family are related, both having descended from Thomas Hinckley (born 19 Mar 1619, Hawkhurst, Kent, England; died 25 Apr 1706, Barnstable, MA) who was Governor of Plymouth Colony from 1658-1681."

AURAPTOR

America loves a winner!


Quote:

Auraptor,

first off, no way. Us presidents are ALWAYS fair game.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

That said, I have to congratulate you on a fresh can of worms.

Hillary Clinton killed her law parter, Vince Foster, and she did it personally. I think she poisoned his wine, and then had her thugs roll him up in a carpet, which also went missing from her office. There's an interesting book on the subject "The Strange Death of Vincent Foster" by Christopher Ruddy. Ruddy lays out all the details of the case, without technically saying anything. But the details of the case, by themselves, in the unbiased manner in which they are presented, speak volumes.

Part of me wants Hillary Clinton to be the candidate in '08, because of this, but I wonder, would John McCain actually say it? It would be nice if ABC or someone would do a TV special a few weeks before the 2008 election...



Can't think of another way to criticize a President w/ out making a movie where he's murdered? Wow. Don't know what to say about that. ( Other than to say that it's absurd to quote Teddy Roosevelt as if to suggest he'd ever support this movie as legitimate criticism of a President. ) I'll repeat myself so you don't misunderstand. Films involved with the murder of SITTING Presidents, regardles of party, simply should not be made. Definatly should not be shown until after they're out of office.

As for Hillary, you'll never see any network air a show which depicts here as having any involvement w/ Vince Foster' death. No opposing candidate will ever try to paint her w/ an accusing brush even remotely suggesting her guilt in that issue.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

SASSALICIOUS


This isn't the first time that art, President Bush, and assassination have ever crossed paths. It's just the first time the assassination actually occurred. The art exhibit "Axis of Evil: The Secret History of Sin" had a one piece that depicted GWB with a gun pointed at his head (called "Patriot Act"). Another interesting piece was called "Citizen John Ashcroft".

http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=News&id=2960987 has a picture of "Patriot Act".

"Art is meant to challenge and to make people question"~Micki Leventhal.

I'm going to go see if when/if it comes out in the U.S. because I think it should be interesting.

Sure. I'll concede the point. They should have made it an anonymous president. But speculation about the aftermath of an assassination in the current big brother climate is certain worth some speculation.

Quote:

Did you see? I think A&E did a special on it where they said "wow, no wrong doing here. Yep, looks like a suicide. no clinton didn't pay us to make this, really she didn't"

No, they won't.

Quote:

Why not? I have a strong suspicion that you're right, but why wouldn't they? It seems logical, and yet, they won't.

It's no secret that I think Bush had something to do with 9-11. 36% of americans do. I think everyone who reads enough about it comes to that conclusion. But no one will run on that platform. I just marked it up to democrats have no balls. But it may be a more widespread problem.

Maybe a third party candidate can say it :)

In general I used to think the media won't attack a liberal, but there was the sinclair swiftboat film. I think a Truth about Vince Foster film is a possibility maybe on cable.
