First of all, I said that the movie is very good-looking, fast-paced, rich in information, and the actors' performances are also very exciting, which makes people feel sorry for the movie, admiration at times, and sighs at times.
I often have to hit pause or replay to look at each word for fear of missing something.

Nixon as a political figure strikes me as powerful, very confident, yet somber, powerfully controlling and aggressive.
At the end of the film, Nixon said to frost that maybe we should change the line, you will be the politician, and I will be the show host.
There was a scene in "Milk" that I watched two days ago, which was Puccini's "Tosca". The heroine finally jumped off the city wall. Milk should actually feel that political people are not credible.
When the audience is watching a movie, they think that maybe they can do something like frost. But has anyone thought they could be Nixon?

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.
