In the rivers and lakes involuntarily

ending withSame, very memorable. Especially Frank Langella's rich expression language, focus, turn around, infinite space.

For this pair of leather shoes, he once echoed his assistant's point of view: men should wear leather shoes with laces. Then, the first time he went for an interview, the camera gave a close-up of his shoes—he got out of the car and stretched out his first foot: black cotton socks, lace-up black leather shoes. And he pointed out to Frost that there was something girly about the Italian shoes.

Even so, Frost knew that Nixon liked the shoes. Nixon told Frost in their final meeting that they should actually switch positions. So my personal understanding is that if you like it but hide it, it's the same for a pair of shoes, and it's probably the same for Nixon's life. Being in the rivers and lakes can't help.

If the real Nixon is really this cute, it's not unforgivable.

    I have already seen through, Nixon's whitewashing is like an Italian leather shoe with laces. Only by unpreparedly untying his laces can he win this unique interview war. The interpretation of the documentary interview guides the rhythm of the whole film. The loneliness of the twitching mouth can not be eliminated. The apology is left to the world to comment by a politician who once criticized Fang Yao and also smart. Live the rest of your life like a clown.

    Nixon's role is so precise! ! !

Frost/Nixon quotes

  • 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. At first I couldn't understand why Bob Zelnick was quite as euphoric as he was after the interviews, or why John Birt felt moved to strip naked and rush into the ocean to celebrate. 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.

  • Richard Nixon: You know those parties of yours, the ones I read about in the newspapers. Do you actually enjoy those?

    David Frost: Of course.

    Richard Nixon: You have no idea how fortunate that makes you, liking people. Being liked. Having that facility. That lightness, that charm. I don't have it, I never did.
