no losers

As said in the dialogue about cheeseburgers in the film, Nixon and Foster are actually a kind of people, born from humble beginnings, and just use their own efforts to achieve the purpose of getting ahead.
I had seen the original interview transcript a month before watching the film, and Nixon was not as frustrated as the film portrayed. His final confession, I believe, came more from his own relief than how skillful Foster was. If Nixon insisted on Tai Chi, I don't think there is any way for this old fox to "confess".
It seems that it is easy to play Nixon, and whether it is Hopkins or Langella in this film, it is a pity not to get a golden statue. However, in the real interview, Nixon sweated more seriously than in this film, and he was indeed a working people.
Prove two things:
which cheese phone and the leather shoes that came as a gift at the end really matter? I believe it's just a dramatic exaggeration.

Frost/Nixon quotes

  • David Frost: [Picking up the phone, thinking it's room service] I'll have a cheeseburger.

    Richard Nixon: [drunk] Mmm. That sounds good. I used to love cheeseburgers, but Dr. Lundgren made me give them up. He switched me to cottage cheese and pineapple instead. He calls them my Hawaiian burgers, but they don't taste like burgers at all. They taste like Styrofoam.

  • Richard Nixon: David, did I really call you that night?

    David Frost: Yes.

    Richard Nixon: Did we discuss anything important?

    David Frost: Cheeseburgers.

    Richard Nixon: Cheeseburgers?

    David Frost: Goodbye, sir.
