By Nolan Cleary In the middle of the outstanding new film "Young Washington," Lawrence Washington, the half-brother of George Washington, attempts to teach his brother a lesson about pride and the dangers of not reaching too high. That didactic moment is perhaps most analogous to the high ambitions of the film's director Jon Erwin, in his attempt to bring to life the formative years of America’s most famous founding father.
