In the summer of 1977, David Foster's TV show interviewing former US President Richard Nixon became the focus of everyone's attention. According to statistics, the audience who watched the interview program was as many as 45 million people, a number that has created a record in the history of American news. The interview looked more like a chess game with only one winner. For four consecutive nights of interviews, Foster and Nixon wrestled wit and eloquence — a terrific talk show, no doubt. The interview completely changed the history of talk shows, writing a strong note in journalism history, while also changing the public's understanding of politics and politicians. The film recreates this important historical event wonderfully. The rhythm is loose and tight. Although the plot is well known to everyone, the climax is still applauding. Although the film is full of lines, talks, and monologues from beginning to end, it does not. Makes people feel dull or boring. Although it is only a historical event, the director and screenwriter have well integrated the thinking of human nature and the examination of the political system into the film, especially the scene where Foster and Nixon parted and met. It feels meaningful. The only thing that feels flawed is the interview on the last day, the development of the story is a bit unexpected, because in the dialogue between the two sides a few days ago, Nixon clearly had an absolute advantage, and just because of a few simple questions about the recording, it completely collapsed. , this is where I feel a little far-fetched, I don't know what the real situation is. It is said that due to political considerations and restrictions, the film was only shown in limited theaters in the United States.
