Sincere, highest access skills

I watched this movie with a very complicated mood, and I was very interested because of the high ratings of this movie, but the subject matter of this movie is unfamiliar to me, and I don't know what Watergate is, I don't know why this matter is often brought up; I like to read biographies of politicians, because I think what politicians do is to create and change history, which is an influence I yearn for. But I'm still not used to expressing in this way. Watching this movie should make me depressed. It's just that I really can't resist the influence of changing history, so I read it intermittently, and in some places I have to go back and read it again, because I can't understand it. The seemingly easy talk show turned out to be a lot of wrestling. Both sides spent three months preparing, very strategic, very technical, and it was a battle. Looking at me, I was suddenly moved. Foster threw the interview draft full of strategies on the ground and asked with a very sincere attitude. Nixon no longer responded with a precautionary attitude, and Nixon finally of that close-up. Although the so-called sincere attitude may actually be a kind of interview technique, but I prefer to believe that Foster has let go of his pressure at that moment and asked from a very ordinary point of view, because he respects Nixon very much, As an old saying goes, the one who knows you best may be your competitor, so when the competition reaches a certain level, both sides will cherish each other. In the award-winning manuscript of interviewing a serial killer in "Peddler's Own People", he wrote: "The reason why I have the opportunity to hear him face to face with the darkest side of my heart is not because of my excellent interview skills, but because of my excellent interview skills. Because he has been waiting for someone to pull him out of the dark abyss. Of course, "Beida's Own People" is just a fictitious story, and I think it can actually be used as a movie. Because Nixon himself was actually in a dark abyss, but because he was so strong and hated the pity of others, he never faced himself. If not, he wouldn't call Foster when he was drunk and tell him so much, and then forget about it when he was sober. Because in his mind, in this matter, Foster was the closest person, and at some point Foster also faced a Nixon situation, looked down on, and longed to be liked, just as the two of them knew for sure. , the light of victory only shines on one person...

There is a paragraph at the end of the film, which can probably be used to explain the origin of everyone's favorite use of "gate" in naming events-His most lasting legay is that today any political wrongdoing is immediately given the suffix "gate".

    Both the protagonists played very well, but Howard was too old-fashioned.

    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.

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.
