I remember that there was an unofficial history in the market. Generally speaking, Mao Zedong knew that Nixon was out of office and asked the people around him what was going on? After learning the reason, Mao said contemptuously, "This matter can't be solved, so why should I be president." Let him come to China and learn from me in the future.
Of course, this is a joke. After watching the film, I was moved in two ways, both of which occurred during the interview on the last day. First, Nixon admitted that his actions had hit the young people who were about to enter politics. Second, after admitting his fault, he looked helpless, lonely and self-loathing. He repeatedly stressed that he did not like to socialize and was not suitable to be a politician. This paved the way for his political career.
The contest between the two men in the film is very exciting, but I believe that late-night phone call was made up. As a media practitioner, I understand how the four interviews will be arranged and what effects will appear. After watching the film, I would rather think that the interviewer was deliberately showing weakness the first three times to let Nixon relax his vigilance, and the last time he came to a Jedi counterattack. Doing so would both follow the 25% Watergate covenant on the contract and still be a surprise win.
Appreciate American reflections. You could call it an American theme. But when it comes to performance, it is indeed very skillful to express the human side incisively and vividly. In addition to the commercial elements, the most important point of why Hollywood films can be sold globally is the depiction of human nature that is universally applicable at home and abroad.
The loneliness of Nixon in this film made me think that when I came out, I always had to pay it back. . . .
