The foreshadowing in front of this film is too long, and it makes me a little irritable. To be honest, it is better to start directly with the conversation. What really cheered me up was the midnight phone call from Nixon, the heart-to-heart and blood-filled rant, and from then on, what I saw was a real old man, a politician with real courage.
I don't know what the interview was really like back then, but as far as the host in the movie is concerned, it can be said that he is a completely boring guy. Although the description is super long, for Nixon's role, he is simply an insignificant person. His interviews, questions, and everything else were a failure, which obviously exposed the problem that the director didn't know the media business at all.
As for why you gave it four stars? The reasons are as follows:
1. A sense of reality. Movies derived from real events, whether good or bad, will be extremely respected by me. Looking at the society after 2000, under the impact of modern civilization and the state system, there is basically no truth to speak of.
2. Nixon's Watergate incident was a victory for American democracy. This is undeniable. It graciously set a precedent for democracy and freedom, and to a large extent maintained the basic starting point of democratic politics. It can be said that this is a victorious people's war that so many countries in the world have never seen again for so many years. The Watergate incident can not help but make Americans understand "citizens", and at the same time infect the people of other countries.
3. Nixon easily reminds me of Chairman Mao Zedong, ping-pong diplomacy and other events.
Nixon in the movie lost, not to the hero, but to himself. Looking at this dying old man, especially at the end, I felt a lot of bitterness.
What I'm trying to say is that it wasn't the American people who defeated Nixon.
is "country". The state has never been to safeguard the interests of the people, to defend the people and peace, and it is impossible to grant freedom to the people. The state is built to repress. As president, Nixon used the state to suppress the enemy, while the enemy used his country to suppress himself.
I think of Chairman Mao, his struggle, his communism, his class enemies, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
