Review of Nixon (1995) by Cassandra M — 21 Dec 2008
#13Nixon.
Anthony Hopkins gives a riveting and at times disturbing performance of an, at one time all powerful man. The film is more of a character study rather than about any of the scandals like Watergate and the cover up and things like that, although those events are a big part of the story, they are only liabilities to the film. And thats exactly what they become because you as a viewer of the film are mesmerized and stunned by the incomparable performance from Anthony Hopkins. Stone portrays Nixon as pitiful person, and Hopkins hits the nail on the head. I'll be honest towards the end of the film I teared up, but thats just me. The great thing about this film just like Stone's other masterpiece, JFK, you can make up your own mind.
President speack:? ... because people have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I am not a crook.?
