In Oliver Stone's "W." I believe that the most important scenes are the ones that depict the possibly unspoken intentions on George W. Bush. The film begins with the W. walking onto a baseball diamond as he is being introduced as the 43rd president of the United States. W. is wearing a baseball jersey and is ready for the applause, but they never come because the stadium is completely empty. I believe this is symbolic to the need for approval that the president has to have.

The movie makes it apparent that the president has an extreme love for baseball, but it infers that his love of the sport comes from his unnaturally disapproving father. This leads me to believe that the President shows many signs of "daddy issues", and if he does could that be an explanation why he decided to enter politics? or why he decided the run for president? This scene opens up many cans of warms dealing with W.'s psychological state.

In Stone's film it is made apparent that George W. Bush has always faced shame and disapproval from his father, George Bush Sr. I believe that being shown very little love as a child brought W. to have a complex for love and admiration. His choice in careers have shown that. He wanted to be involved in baseball because his father loved it, this can be said the same for his political career. Many argue that the only reason W. began his involvement in politics is to gain approval and love from his former President father.

The first scene in Oliver Stones's "W." begins the movie with a reoccurring theme of attention. The baseball scene is known as a rhyming element, because it is continuously reoccurring throughout the entire film. At the end of the film it is almost the same exact scene although his wardrobe, his attitude, and the outcome are entirely different than the beginning. At the end he can not find the baseball, this could possibly describe how lost he felt at the end of his presidency, which reviles a lot about his character. It reviles how lost and human the former President of the United States actually was.
