Director of the movie "W." Oliver Stone poses for a portrait in Los Angeles October 7, 2008. Stone's film portrait of U.S. President George W. Bush was always going to be controversial given the director's liberal leanings, so he decided to open "W." in U.S. theaters less than three weeks before Americans select their next president -- a calculated move aimed at prodding voters to think about the past eight years and the future.
