Personally, I think this is an ode to the Western political system and journalists. The idea of ​​raising funds to make and sell films should not be too realistic. There are also a large number of such characters active all over the world, including between Eastern and Western contexts. Reporters seek names, and interviewers seek dissemination. Politicians and journalists get what they want. The interview became a battle of the mind. During my viewing of the film, I was constantly struck by the wise conversations between politicians and political journalists. Being able to quickly break through a politician's psychological defense line reflects the excellence of a journalist. Not only sigh, but being a TV reporter trains people. Putting aside Nixon's character, he was definitely a good politician. The tongue is like a reed, and the expression ability is perfect. In the end, he chose to face his own mistakes, unload the burden in his heart, and the light of humanity won the victory. The film undoubtedly constructs the professional image of Western journalists through the performance of journalists. Inexplicably reminds me of a paper--Lu Ye, Pan Zhongdang: Imagination of Fame: The Professionalism Discourse Construction of Journalists in the Process of Chinese Social Transformation. The subtleties of human nature and messy things are captured very well. rare.

    Adapted from real events, it is a unique masterpiece in the "Watergate Incident" series of movies. The form of "pseudo-documentary" makes the movie more real. In the final interview, the two protagonists performed very well, which is really exciting. I like the last sentence of the movie, Nixon's The only achievement is that all the political scandals in the future are suffixed with "gate".
