What kind of talent is suitable for politics?

Everyone needs money, look at the bargain nixon was interviewing for. But there is no way for politicians to make money directly, and there are still many professions that cannot make money directly, or make big money. What will they do then? Why can't they just go straight to jobs where they can make a lot of money? Because they think politics is a job that makes a lot of money.
In fact, those who work as civil servants are precisely those who need a sense of justice, dedication, and professionalism the most, but the reality is just the opposite. Most politicians think of only two ultimate goals: money and power. To be more precise, there is only one: money, because power is also for money.
Why don't they go into business, don't go into industry? Is our society not giving them such an opportunity? I still feel lazy. You can make money by playing tricks and fooling people, so why go into business and start an industry with such a big risk? Human beings are all rational, and they will make choices with the least effort and the greatest gain in any environment. Except for a small number of people, their beliefs are: "The vile is the pass of the vile, and the noble is the epitaph of the noble".
After watching the whole film, my opinion of nixon has changed. At least this is a man who dares to admit his mistakes. You must know that it is very difficult for someone to tell the truth, especially for a person, whether a man or a woman, big or small, to admit that he is wrong, sincerely and worthy of his conscience, it is more difficult than reaching the sky.
Frost gave nixon a chance to put down the burden and start over. Nixon was lucky enough to seize it, and the rest of his life will be much easier. In fact, being honest will bring many benefits to each of us. The biggest one is that your heart is not tired. Although there may be no face, but this face should not be there from the beginning, because you are wrong. If you can honestly face your mistakes, you will be able to correct them and your life will continue to improve.
I suddenly remembered that maybe other people are too mean, our society does not allow you to be a wrong person, so we will form this kind of thinking mode of killing and not admitting. This may not be the fault of the nixons, but the fault of our society, our culture. When nixon touched the puppy, he was finally relieved, and finally he was a dying person who lived in harmony with nature again~
If you have no desires, you are just right? How many of us still remember this word?
Another: Allusions to Bush, when the internal worries are too great, the introduction of foreign aggression, diverting attention, this is the most commonly used method by politicians.

    The film is based on a real TV interview. Although it is a political theme, the film does not look boring, showing that director Ron Howard's skills are good. Frank Langella, who played Nixon, performed very well, accurately expressing Nixon's psychological changes through some detailed design and superb performance.

    The preparation for the first 50 minutes is a bit lengthy. The final interview part is very exciting.

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!
