If someone had to dramatize Wilson's story, they could do so in a way that was either tragic or more hagiographic, and Fox chose the latter course. It is certainly hardly surprising given the time and place, when the only bibliography available at the time was the well-known, uncritical one by Ray Standard Baker. Since the title character was played by Alexander Knox, a relatively unknown actor rather than a well-known actor like Gary Cooper, you shouldn't try to picture someone else in that important role after watching the complete movie. The film indicates clearly that the era of Hollywood could produce movies which possess a lot of integrity that is above the regular fare of Warners, for example. Zanuck who was affiliated with Fox was the only individual with the qualms to produce such an expensive masterpiece in the twentieth-century, and concerning the President who, unlike people like Teddy Roosevelt, strikes the majority of the people just like a cold fish. This film, in my opinion, is classical, despite its drawbacks in that, it tends to simplify history and also the wartime propaganda since it is key in many ways. There are other various films at the time, but Zanuck and King’s Wilson are deemed the only theatrical film that indeed dramatized the life of a president while carrying out his duties in the office (Woodrow Wilson: The Great Romantic, n.p.). As such, it is a movie worth watching.
The changes that Trump can make to his outlook so as take advantages of some of the openings that progressivism could provide is through instituting laws that will curb segregation of citizens in the United States rather than be fueling it. Trump and his administration ought to realize that they are not outsiders anymore. As such, collaboration with the Democrats and progressives is significant in enhancing smooth term for Trump in office. Alienation of the progressives in the government of Trump will result in daunting harm to the economy and political stability in America.
