Film Paper December 1, 2013 Alec Estes Which leader in the Last King of Scotland or All the Kings Men was in line with Machiavelli’s views on being feared or loved, attaining/maintaining power, and reputation better? Machiavelli’s views on ruling pertain to princes in the 16th century, but dictators, such as Suddam Hussein, and presidents, such as George Bush, alike have adopted Machiavelli’s teachings to maintain their power.

If someone is a stereotype who think any candidate always has a good background, high education, and of course, money, they might be surprised at what the movie was showing how rude and what a failure “W”-a capture-used to be at the first scene. The movie created a contrast between Bush’s life in the past and in the present by recasting his life’s scenes back and forward. It was not only introduced who “W” was but also explained to the audiences what made “W” Bush want to become Mr. President.
