First of all, it may be that the resonance of the subject matter is not strong. I really can't understand how the phrase "I'm sorry" shoveled out of Nixon's mouth brings a great sense of accomplishment to the American people, that kind of perversion that seems to be smooth after a long time of constipation. pleasure.
Secondly, I really didn't find the so-called battle of wits and courage in the film. From the beginning to the end, it should be Nixon's own conscience fighting with his own ambitions, and finally unable to hold back, so that the clever Foster, who was repentant after the successive defeats, took a big advantage. There is neither a scheming behind-the-scenes plan, nor a tit-for-tat confrontation. This interview came from a non-noble purpose, and it did not make Foster make much effort to get a girl and make his colleagues half-dead. After that, he actually won the interview - which made me want to say at the end: SHIT!
In addition, I really don't understand what the role of picking up girls is in promoting this film, and it also made the director spend a lot of film on it.
Of course, looking back at the meager history of the old beauty, perhaps the Watergate incident has been so remarkable that as long as it is filmed, it will make people emotional. And the story of a small man who single-handedly defeated the big president is indeed in line with the American taste for popcorn.
