Frost/Nixon
For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Ron Howard's EDEN last night on a whim, and it's easily my favorite Howard-directed film since 2008's FROST/NIXON. Terrific performances (I can't believe this is the same Sydney Sweeney who starred in MADAME WEB), a compelling story that's an invitation to read up on the real-life events.

Beloved for roles in DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE, DRACULA, FROST/NIXON, STARTING OUT IN THE EVENING, DAVE, MANNIX, THE AMERICANS, and more.
neutral · AI labelView post →All the reviews of the Robbie Williams biopic BETTER MAN are making me wonder what other films might be improved by replacing the protagonist with a CGI'd ape-person, and I think it might be JERRY MAGUIRE, or FROST/NIXON with Ape Nixon. (Maybe in the Christian Bale role in THE BIG SHORT?)
neutral · AI labelView post →So I saw the Frost/Nixon movie again, about the famous interview between Frost and Nixon... and the same actor for Frost, Michael Sheen, is from Good Omens... now I can't unsee it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatch the climactic scene in "Frost/Nixon" post-immunity decision and it is so quaint. The actual interviews and the film based on them is completely pointless now.
negative · AI labelView post →One film I think about a lot is Ron Howard's FROST/NIXON, which is all about how impossible it was to get Richard Nixon to say something self-incriminating on television, and what a gigantic gamechanging bombshell it was when he did. Now the sitting president says more incriminating shit EVERY DAY.
neutral · AI labelView post →New post: Frost/Nixon had been a smash in the UK and was showing great potential on a trip to the US. In tandem with the interest from Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, it seemed natural that Michael Sheen and Frank Langella would win over American theatre goers with a high-profile subject matter.
neutral · AI labelView post →There is no such thing as centrism when you vote for a fascist. And when you produced a movie about the Frost/Nixon interviews, you have zero fucking excuse. Art with your name on it should have been a history lesson.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m not going to say Ron Howard is some underrated auteur genius. But I finally watched Frost/Nixon last night and I do think Howard is underappreciated as a classic movie craftsperson, at least when he gets a good screenplay. He can make a good movie-movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I also find Frost/Nixon to be a terrible movie but a fascinating look into liberal brains in that they thought THAT meaningless after the fact moment that did no damage to anyone, especially Nixon, was worth making a movie to celebrate because it made liberals feel vindicated
negative · AI labelView post →Bit adjacent but the film Frost/Nixon and interview it was brilliant
positive · AI labelView post →Famous actor and musician: Footloose, Tremors, Frost/Nixon, Apollo 13, Mystic River, JFK, etc. He is a pretty prolific actor, but of course not everyone knows of every famous person out there. My favorite Kevin Bacon fact is the game ["Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Bacon#Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon). It appears to show up right in the comment below this one. My Kevin Bacon number is 3. My father is friend's with a bandmate in his son's band.

neutral · AI labelView post →Somewhat similar, my intro to cable when I was ten was finding PRISM, the local sports and movie channel; I used it to watch the original Frost/Nixon interviews. I was ten.
neutral · AI labelView post →Frost/Nixon historical drama great film. Agony of stubbornness, blame game & refusal to accept responsibility. Incineration from great heights to personal hell.
positive · AI labelView post →The often-cited example is *Slumdog Millionaire* winning over *Benjamin Button*, *Frost/Nixon*, *Milk*, and *The Reader* when *The Dark Knight* wasn't even nominated. Superhero movies aren't for everyone for sure, but there is absolutely zero question that The Dark Knight was one of the most influential movies **of all time**. Even the academy sort of admitted it was a mistake by adjusting some of their nomination rules afterward.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is also how I feel about the movie "Frost/Nixon"
neutral · AI labelView post →The great failure of the Frost/Nixon movie is that it treated “I’m saying if the President does it, it’s not illegal” as an irrevocably damning self-admission and not the terrifying reasoned position it actually was. All it would take is for someone with a modicum less shame…
negative · AI labelView post →Thinking about Frost/Nixon, an enjoyable movie but a historically inaccurate one, which reverses whether or not Nixon admitted to a cover-up and omits the fact that he received 20% of the profits from the interview. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost/N...
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm going to watch Aaron Sorkin's new movie - he's a really good writer - but I think he contributed to one of the major problems in the left: The Frost/Nixon fallacy. There's a belief that political success is caused by dramatic rhetorical moments. And that's just not how it works.

neutral · AI labelView post →Well I mean I think the interview part of Frost/Nixon is verbatim but Frost/Nixon also has other things beyond the interview (at least the movie does, anyway), while this is just... the CSPAN segment.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Frost/Nixon (2008) last night. Good thing Michael Sheen is always a delight, otherwise it would have just been supremely depressing. (The movie is very good, it's our current reality that needs tomatoes hucked at it.)
positive · AI labelView post →One reason I'm not on board with it is that there's already a rich library of the actual Bourdain being Bourdain, and we don't need to add not-actual-Bourdain material to it. It's the same reason I didn't understand making the Frost/Nixon movie—you can watch the real thing with the actual people!

I should try to find more episodes of Headliners to compare. Did you hear him at the press conference? So much disdain for the fans! lol...
neutral · AI labelView post →FWIW guys, if you want to watch the perfect trio of political film dramas I highly recommend bookend ATPM with ‘The Post’ (2017) and ‘Frost/Nixon.’ (2008) All bring different angles to historical significance of the Watergate scandal. They’re all exemplary films in their own way.
positive · AI labelView post →Cracking film. Think it also works as fab trilogy of films, alongside ‘All the President’s Men’ and ‘Frost/Nixon.’
