Frost/Nixon (conversation with Nixon)

Ashamed and ashamed, I did not work hard in junior high school, I studied in secondary school, and I did not have a good history education in our high school. I have always had a half-knowledge about the Watergate incident. Of course, I just want to know about such foreign political scandals. My face is so dirty that I can't see where my nose is, and I even have a few pimples on my face! ?
For this film, what I want to say is that I feel the tension of the plot is quite strong, the tension of the plot, how can I use this word... I am a layman, anyway, the plot is very attractive, not because there are no popular scenes And can't watch. Politics has never been my thing, and for Nixon, I think the only difference between him and other presidents is that he was caught, he was found, it's like you are corrupt, you have to be smart, you can give your son and wife to Sending abroad to enjoy happiness, you can "go abroad for inspection" instead of visiting privately in China. Of course, it can't be said that Nixon is not smart, and he has a bit of bad luck. This is also the same as corruption. My predecessor did the same, and the superiors did the same. I followed it carefully and studied hard. Why did I get arrested? To be honest, even the results are a bit similar. You see, although Nixon committed a crime, I am sorry for the millions of people in the motherland. He is not living in a California seaside villa, playing golf, or being caught for corruption. In the prison, apart from being less free than the outside world, eating hot and spicy, after being incarcerated for a few years and showing good performance, he is a hero. There is no California seaside villa, and this Hangzhou West Lake villa always needs a whole set.
Of course, there is a difference between Nixon and our corrupt officials. People still have to admit on TV that they are sorry to the people of the whole country, and people still have to live the rest of their lives with guilt and shame. In this regard, it is obvious that our government is more tolerant than Ah, the United States has come a long way, and it is enough to criticize and criticize. Since committing crimes, people have not shown their faces. This is to understand the mood of the general public. You think, whoever reads Nixon's feature, everyone can understand his heart. If we want to put a corrupt official on TV, a person with high ideological awareness bows his head and confesses that he should never have done such a thing, then the public may not understand, whether he is referring to corruption or not Shouldn't have been caught accidentally. If the ideological awareness is not high, in case the jar is broken and the names of several or dozens of higher-level leaders who are co-corrupting are reported, then it will be fine.

    The five-star script and documentary form restored this dialogue. The precise rhythm made people breathless. Even the first half of the foreshadowing, I couldn't turn my eyes on it. At the end, every word the protagonist said was the climax of the film! The subtle psychological changes in an instant appear on the face of the actor, and there are countless interpretations of the shot in one second. The actor is great. The last question is even more thought-provoking. Are we all doing what suits us?

Frost/Nixon quotes

  • [from trailer]

    Richard Nixon: Why would I want to talk to David Frost?

    Swifty Lazar: I've got half a million dollars.

    Richard Nixon: Really?

  • Bob Zelnick: [Impersonating Nixon, discussing Jack Kennedy] That man, he screwed anything that moved, fixed elections, and took us into Vietnam. And the American people, they loved him for it! Whereas I, Richard Milhous Nixon, worked around the clock in their service, and they hated me! Look. Look. Now I'm sweating. Damn it! Damn it! And Kennedy's so goddamn handsome and blue-eyed! Had women all over him! He screwed anything that moved, and everything. Had a go at Checkers once. The poor little bitch was never the same!
