Movie Recommendation: Frost/Nixon

I recently watched the film Frost/Nixon about the famous interview between David Frost and President Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal. It’s true that movie about an interview sounds pretty lame, I know, but the acting was incredible. David Frost hopes that he can get Nixon to confess to crimes in a public interview while Nixon constantly outsmarts him along the way. It’s like a game of chess. If you know your history, Frost finally catches him in a “check mate” moment.

Whoever played Nixon performed amazingly. I was very impressed. Very compelling.

There is some foul language, but the film is basically clean and very informative. It very much captures America’s anger and disappointment regarding the Watergate fiasco. It also sheds light on Nixon’s internal struggle as to whether to come clean or not. Five Stars.
