The screenwriter of the film, Pete Morgan, found a suitable entry point, using a more suitable angle and restraint, to focus the film on Nixon’s personal spiritual world and psychological changes, as well as the disappointment of the outside media and the public at that time. , Cross-examination. The actor Frank Langela performed Nixon's loneliness, shrewdness, inferiority, greed, arrogance, and despair in detail. A look and expression can convey a tasteful meaning. In the film, the director continued the style and presentation of the previous play, whether it is the main form of dialogue, or the use of close-up and close-up shots, plus almost all of the indoor scenes in the film, giving Frank Lange a The perfect play space helped him complete the performance. The film’s excellent storyline and line design give viewers who are interested in that period of history a sense of intent.
The focus of the film is neither the pursuit of historical truth nor the true restoration of the situation at the time, but a deep understanding of the two sides of the dialogue under this historical event from the perspective of human nature. From the point of view of the film itself, it still retains the past style of Morgan's screenwriter and director Howard's directing skills. Shooting political films requires the producer to have a deep understanding of the background of the times, only in this way will the director be able to perform better. Director Howard did a good job on this point. The film closely revolves around the four-day interview with Nixon conducted by David Foster from beginning to end, with almost no redundancy. Because of the interview form of the film itself and the existence of objective history, all the lines in the film have to copy the original text, which greatly limits the play of the screenwriter, but the audience can still see the skill of the screenwriter, and the focus of the story is inadvertently shifted. Outside of the interview, the changes in the hearts of both parties before and after the interview complemented the interview itself, which fully played the role of the story of "Queen", just like the story of "Queen", there is no dullness or the slightest in the process of watching. It's boring.
