Politics is a game

Yet another meaningful film. The whole film uses interviews as clues and adopts the method of recollection. Foster was an excellent talk show host when Nixon stepped down and after seeing it on TV he decided to interview Nixon on an impulse because all the people and the courts had been demanding Nixon apologize and deserve legal reprimand . Foster may be said to be incompetent, but he is a freak who can control the media. He looks like a playboy and witty, but inside he is a powerful opponent with integrity and pursuit. He interviewed Nixon. The most successful experience of my life. Maybe he made the decision to interview to develop his own career, maybe he really wanted to find his own achievements in the upper-class trend of the country, he recruited talents to do this project. Of course, career, marriage, and social status are all taken into consideration. Is this a successful person? Nixon was a politician, there's no denying it. He and Foster are opponents, both of which are strong and excellent opponents. In the end, Nixon admitted in his final interview that he had failed the public, and that his Watergate scandal was an indelible stain on his life. Man is really a great animal, great because he has ideas and pursuits.
From this film, I saw a side that many politicians don't know about. They are flesh-and-blood people, they make mistakes, they do not test the strength of one person to form their own climate, many people are helping them, the president is the majority of people elected by countless people to support and seek happiness for this group a representative of interests. When the president abuses his power for his own selfish desires, or even commits a crime, he makes a big mistake - water can carry a boat and capsize it. I am not familiar with Nixon's life, but through this film, I saw that a person's glory is short-lived, but it is also very hard to maintain this glory. In short, do what you need to do in your position, don't blindly bet on it, you must know the general trend and find your own position in it. But it doesn't mean that everything has been done, just blindly rigid dogma without knowing how to be flexible and innovative. Foster's success means successfully resisting pressure and challenging himself.
The conversation between Foster and Nixon was also a very wise one. A successful gamer must have a strong mind, rich experience, a keen sense of smell, and "do everything possible" to achieve the effect of his own conversation. Of course, the necessary gentleman's demeanor, humanistic care, and a person's demeanor are also required. . Everyone's demeanor is my pursuit. It starts with rigorous training and must be trained and cultivated since childhood. The superior man is not meant to be a power over the weak, but to do better than ordinary people and make more contributions to society and mankind. God created man to let the Master lead mankind to a more enlightened state.
And speaking of my personal values, which were once romantic, are now reality. Of course I want justice, I want it in my heart, but in fact we are not just people, who would not do some unconscionable things in this society. Since you have to do it, keep a low profile and don't be known to everyone. And luxury living, who doesn't want to live it? But the real conditions are always difficult to achieve. But there must be a heart that dares to think, only then can there be the desire to pursue and the motivation to move forward.
I am not content with the status quo, but if I want to really change the status quo, I need to take action, take action for my future, and dare to think and act. I've always had a dream, haven't I?

    There are many movies about Nixon. This film is still digging this topic, it's really boring. And there's absolutely nothing flashy about it.

    It's real history again. Nixon's actors did not look like Nixon at all, but they performed what he understood Nixon's inner world. One of the main reasons why the Chinese people are not cold about the Watergate incident is that they cannot understand why such an incident caused such an uproar and long-term impact.

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.
