Adapted from real events, it is a unique masterpiece in the "Watergate Incident" series of movies. The form of "pseudo-documentary" makes the movie more real. In the final interview, the two protagonists performed very well, which is really exciting.

It has nothing to do with politics, or even with historical facts; even if other details are removed and only the four episodes of Nixon interviews are compared, the changes and descriptions in the film are more dramatic; in fact, Ron Howard is just borrowing this event to create a step by step.

Richard Nixon: I let them down.

James Reston, Jr.: You know the first and greatest sin or deception of television is that it simplifies; it diminishes great, complex ideas, tranches of time; whole careers become reduced to a single snapshot.

But that was before I really understood the reductive power of the close-up, because David had succeeded on that final day, in getting for a fleeting moment what no investigative journalist, no state prosecutor, no judiciary committee or political enemy had managed to get; Richard Nixon's face swollen and ravaged by loneliness, self-loathing and defeat. The rest of the project and its failings would not only be forgotten, they would totally cease to exist.
