Review of Frost/Nixon (2008) by Dalem. — 05 Feb 2009
For the most part, the film tries to make history out of something that really wasn't that important historically. Who are they trying to kid? There is some evidence, however, that the director wants to portray a once powerful and full-of-himself leader brought to level where, with the help of a rather simple-minded fool, he admits his flaws and sees his humanity.
Just kidding! That would be King Lear, not Frost/Nixon. It is sad that some people apparently can't appreciate the difference. PS: Nixon did not look or talk like the guy in the film.
