FROST/NIXON THE COMPLETE INTERVIEWS Clip 9

http://frostnixon.com - OVER 6 HOURS OF THE ORIGINAL BROADCAST FOOTAGE - This program, culled from the over 28 hours of interview footage between Sir David Frost and U.S. President Richard M. Nixon, was originally broadcast in May of 1977. Never before, nor since, has a U.S. President been so candid on camera. Even more intriguing is the fact that Nixon agreed to appear on camera with no pre-interview preparation or screening of questions. Now the subject of a Major Motion Picture directed by Ron Howard, Frost/Nixon: The Complete Interviews is a riveting historic time capsule.

It's funny how the film turned this into a big dramatic moment.

To me, I think Ron Howard had the right idea to make this scene dramatic. Because no President should ever say that. And back then when he did say that it was a shocker to the American people. I think Howard did great on the movie. And him having Frost look surprised was a nice touch.

I think he had hanged out with the Shah of Iran too much

Agamben's analysis of the issue with state of exception proves correct.

Well one doesn't need Michael Bay to set up an explosion behind the guy to create drama. If one listens to the words and understands the meaning behind them one might find great drama in this sentence. But , of course, the average American viewer is going to tune out the moment thinking is required.

Then fall, Nixon.

Obama lookin kinda haggard in this video

That's sloppy, dishonest filmmaking, not on Howard's part, but the screenwriter. They could just as easily had a stage person, or someone in the crowd, react surprised, and it would then not be misleading.

Nixon only dreamed of the power Pres Obama is asserting: assassinating American citizens anywhere anytime without due process - democracynow
