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.

    chap! It is really difficult to be an official in the US Empire, so at least the officials of the US Empire will not be a pig head →_→ Nixon plays the role very well!

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.
