A witty "boxing match"

The conversation between Australian talk show star Foster and Nixon was clearly a boxing match. One side’s aggressive offensive made the opponent unable to parry and retreat. The other side suddenly awakened after being bullied and fought back. Compared with the melee on the field, the interview The two sides are more like two martial arts masters competing between the focal length of their lips and teeth and their saliva. The nonsense that two people are sitting on the sofa can be taken for a minute without being cold and dull. It can be seen that Ron Howard's profound director skills are really not covered. It stands to reason that the brilliant Nixon would accept a foreign entertainment host as his opponent, and David could actually have such awesome ideas? Very interesting, because the interview can not only provide a platform for Nixon, who was depressed after his abdication, but also because Nixon learned that this plan can directly earn $500,000. Ironically, when he was negotiating terms, Nixon asked his assistant with a serious face. "Can you add 50,000?" David noticed that 400 million people were paying attention to Nixon's resignation speech, and wanted to use this as a stepping stone to find a new breakthrough in his career in the American continent. Sometimes the motivation of the story is as simple as that. It can also be seen the similarities between a great man and a mortal, and the constant desire and acquisition of money, fame and fortune. However, the tiger's butt is not touchable. Nixon, who has been on the battlefield, has completely controlled the initiative of the interview. During the conversation, he avoided the weight and went slanting. A beaten and bloodied rout. Nixon’s film began as a frustrated boxer. Like the old Rocky, he could only tell people about the past in the restaurant. But through this interview, he smiled confidently, but David was ridiculed and contemptuous of Nixon. Next, being teased by this unscrupulous giant in the political arena, the remaining self-confidence and painstaking pursuit are about to be crushed. two. The cheeseburger is not so much that David defeated Nixon in the end, it is better to say that Nixon himself convinced himself, and a casual phone call evokes David's small universe. Aside from relatives and close friends, Nixon found his shadow in the process of understanding David’s growth experience. In the process of understanding David’s growth experience, Nixon found himself in the process of being humble. , Who lives deep in his soul mixes all kinds of sighs of life together, confessing too much selflessness, so that he can't remember that he said it afterwards. David lied that he didn't know what Uncle Ni was talking about. In fact, he suddenly realized that to understand your opponent, you need to stand in the depths of the opponent's soul. The cheeseburger is just the introduction to this conversation. Everyone has their own cheeseburger, but time has passed, and the spoiled taste will erode it. Nixon's piece became a Hawaiian burger that tasted like plastic, as he said. Before the last game, Nixon put a smile on his face and even refused to shake hands with David. While exaggerating the atmosphere, it also proved Nixon’s identification with his opponent. Nixon’s concern was confirmed, even if he continued to mock David with "pre-marital sex." , But it was insignificant compared to David's subsequent questions that hit the opponent's heart like a storm. Nick was at a loss and caught off guard. As a result, it would not be illegal if the president did it. Let those who say this feel absurd. The tall body could no longer contain Nixon’s exhaustion, and he was unable to shake his hand to signal to the crowd, no longer need to scream for his political career, but walked to a lady and stroked a puppy in her arms. Reminds me of a dialogue in "Carla is a Dog": You can also find a little human in a dog. Perhaps it's not a kind of irony, but a care for a glorious and indifferent life state. Whether it is more regrettable or unwilling, these flavors are intertwined and really confused. After one step, Foster went to visit Nixon and gave him the pair of shoes he had always laughed at. I personally think that Nixon has always liked these shoes, but because of his temperamental arrogance, uncompromising and refusing to be honest, he is just like treating him. His people do. So Foster got his insight into Nixon’s preferences? Or did the villain send Nixon back like a joke? Nixon lost his thoughts in the "cheeseburger". Perhaps the explanation behind the phone that night was the real revelation. However, people are always so forgetful of sincerity. Foster talks to Nixon. In fact, the core is Nixon's own inner fighting and torture. Foster is just a brave gambler who bets on the sidelines. This is a very interesting game. The task of the game is to make the president admit his mistakes and show his wit in the battle without gunpowder. It is very fun. The drama is changed into a movie to retain the sense of drama while better highlighting the close-ups of the characters. Michael Sheen, who plays Foster, conceals his inner anxiety with a barely smiling face. What’s more, no one suspects that Nixon, played by Frank Langella, is Nixon, frustrated, lonely, regretful, and haggard. It seems that it has never been so vivid on the screen, and there is tension between the gestures. Ron Howard embodies the exquisiteness and atmosphere of this film all the time. In my opinion, it is relaxed and happy, but at the same time, he also made a deep description of the various forms of the world’s desires, glory, gainers, and disappointments. And explore. Since this film has great discussion value, online netizens' comments are very exciting, I only snooped from a narrow perspective, and the perspective is short. I hope you can correct the discussion.
