DREYFUSS SAYS W. MADE BUSH "SHOCKINGLY EMPATHETIC"

Richard Dreyfuss, who portrays Vice President Cheney in Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic W. , has faulted the film for making the president appear "shockingly empathetic." Appearing on ABC's The View Tuesday, Dreyfuss made it clear that he was unhappy working with Stone on the film, despite the fact that he and the director share similar political views. "You can be a fascist even when you're on the left," Dreyfuss remarked. W., he maintained, was only "6/8 of a good film." (It was not clear why he represented the fraction in eighths.) What was missing he said, was "us -- because we were all terrified of our own president." For that reason, he added, "I question whether the film will have any historic legs."
