I did like the movie a lot. I feel that David Frost did win, but I couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for Richard Nixon, even though I know the story of his resignation and Watergate.

@RascalXmas Where by chance did you buy the original interview? Do you know if you can buy the original trial tapes? At least the ones that were broadcasted?

[Josssssshhhhhhhhhh]

David won, but you were made to feel sorry for Nixon. Which I thought was good in a way as it was unbias, and left you to make your own mind up but I was annoyed at myself more than anything for feeling sympathy

By no means am I condoning the things he did. I was just simply saying that by the end of the movie, I felt for his current situation at the time. I've had my history lessons and I know that he was a "tricky dick"

Well i think that ur empathy for Nixon somehow bother me to say that "What about the Vietnamese?" & especially the "Cambodian who lived through the Pol Pot Regime, which was the result of Nixon secretly went behind the congress back and ordered the bombs dropped there. "

I loved this film.

I think the one thing it has over the play is the close up. You can see their eyes twitch. Can't beat that really.
