Instead, he divides the film into sections such as "politics" and "constancy," examining Washington's skill as a general, a politician, a farmer, a self-taught scholar, a man of conscience and principle, and a hero in his own time.
Perhaps the greatest aspect of Washington's character was that he "was a man of action who absorbed the best ideas of his day and then made them real and lived up to them," Brookhiser says.

The finalists come from a range of ethnic backgrounds — there is even a foreign accent or two — but they are uniformly fit and good-looking.
To be an action star, Silver says, the finalists must be able to develop the same technical skills, from holding and shooting a gun to "riding a wire," that such actors as Keanu Reeves and Mel Gibson have had to master for their action roles.
Silver adds that the action hopefuls also need to be able to act, although that might seem optional in a field that includes Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
