Dialogue with Nixon
Kaci 2022-03-25 09:01:09
The film mainly tells about Nixon's first TV interview after his resignation, showing the contradictory, embarrassing, and repressive side of a politically strong and confident defeated president. The film does not focus on details like "Watergate", nor does it emphasize too much during his tenure in office. The Vietnam War, Khmer Rouge and other international issues, but a softer statement that Nixon also had his own dilemma at the time and subjective problems of his own personality, but this perspective has not been well used, the interview in the first half of the film foreshadows comparison The procrastinating, wandering interviews with Foster and Nixon's presentations lacked the focus on the fine print.

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.
