Foster in conversation with Nixon Frost/Nixon

I have always been fascinated by movies and books involving political topics, so I went to see this movie. Originally, my understanding of the Watergate incident only rested on its cause and effect, and I didn't know anything about its detailed history and anecdotes, so the story told in this film was completely new to me. In the end, former President Nixon was running for the presidential election. Facing professional reporters, he handled things smoothly and controlled the rhythm and topics of the interview with ease. The entire TV interview almost became Nixon's personal show. Unfortunately, on the last day, something went wrong.

First, Foster suddenly asked a question that no one had ever asked before, which suddenly disrupted the president's established thinking and thinking. Then, he uttered such extreme mistakes as "the president is not breaking the law". Even the president is an ordinary person. When he realizes that he has made a mistake and tries to make up for it, he can only get more and more wrong. So, Nixon simply chose to tear off the mask he had been disguising, sincerely apologized to the American people and admitted his mistakes. This was a historic moment and the final release of President Nixon's guard. The end of the film is very well designed. President Nixon finally has the "Italian" leather shoes that he has always wanted to try. He is finally no longer the stressed-out President Nixon, he has become himself— —Nixon.
