As a student of journalism, I must say this is really one of the great movies, excellent take on how long and tiring a proces investigative journalism can be. Sadly a genre of journalism that the media have steadily less and less money to make, or will.
This movie was horrible. Good idea, good cast, great performances... but the absolutel worst, confusing script, cinematography and a very weak take on the subject matter.
Great movie with an all star cast. Glad Jason Robards won best suporting;should have won picture,too,instead of Rocky. Love this part where they'er typing to each other.
I do like this film, it gave a very accurate truthful insight into the whole event of "Watergate." Not even so much a "entertaining thriller" or however we look at this film. But at that time this film was really actually telling American people exactly what was going on. A Totally different era, which is why we could never have anything like this happen today.
One of the all-time great scenes from one of the all-time great movies.
I would love to know what Woodward and Bernstein could dig up on Bush/Cheney except these days nobody gives a damn anymore because their told it's to protect the country which translated means if you don't allow us to do this illegal sh*t your gonna die. Too bad the American people fall for this crud.
@oneputtsteven your sentiments seem spot-on, but woodward did extensive bush/cheney coverage, most of it was supportive, until the end. e.g. when he released state of denial-his ultimate condemnation of the administration, in 2007 maybe? interesting book. but i don't think it excused woodward's general sign-off on bush, which he gave to the admin after 9/11. seemed like everybody but hs thompson, zinn, chomsky, vidal and kucinich were happy to participate in post 9-/1 revisionist state religion.
@oneputtsteven Woodward and Bernstein where bought and payed long time ago. You have only two options in this business; eighter you let yourself to corrupt or to be killed. Or just step aside.

@JessOnTheRun Maybe that's why the Oscar voters went with "Rocky"

Best scene. I've watched this film about thirty or forty times in the past few years and I never seem to tire of it. Alan J. Pakula was legend.
