OK, I finished procrastinating.
Frost/Nixon:
Rating: 7
Storyboard: In June 17, 1972, five men got caught breaking into the Democratic Party headquarters. Later, the press found out it was part of a government cover-up, which involved Richard M. Nixon, or “Tricky Dick.” Frost/Nixon tells the story of the Australian talk show host, David Frost, interviewing Richard Nixon on many affairs, such as Nixon’s life, his thoughts on Pol Pot and the bloody war in Cambodia, Communist leader Mao Tze-Tzung, and, of course, the Watergate Scandal. The night before the interview, drunk Nixon calls up Frost and talks about how the interview will make/break someone’s career, and for some reason, cheeseburgers. The next day, Nixon says many lines that hurts him, such as, “I’m saying, when the president does some thing illegal, IT’S NOT ILLEGAL!” and “People think I’m a crook. I’m not a crook, I earned everything I got.” In the end, Nixon admits to the scandal, and quotes he let his country down.
Comments: Not as good as it sounded, requires some knowledge to fully understand.
Should You See It: Not unless it’s free.
