Watergate #2

Frost / Nixon (2008)

Director: Ron Howard
Stars; Frank Langella
Michael Sheen

English talk show host David Frost offers a battle to Richard Nixon who lost his power because of Watergate incident.

This battle is actually a official interview to Richard Nixon.
Since he never apologize about Watergate,
what every American people want to hear from him is his apology.

And David Frost knows that,
he schemes he can be famous in the U.S. succeeding at his interview.

On the other hand, Nixon's purpose of this interview is to talk about rest of his career to achieve his desire to get back to where he once belonged.
When he was asked about Watergate, he changes his subject soon!
This technique is clever.


On the last day of the interview,
 while their dialogue heats up and gets more stressed.
Finally, Frost catches Nixon's unbelievable state!

Two big desire of two men.

                                                                           Robert as Bob Woodward
                                                                  

They go  out for investigation everyday until they can get clear evidence because the boss of the Washington post knew that this attempt to reveal the relevance between Watergate and White house was too dangerous to publish without evidence.
Boss orders to find 100 % sure resource for this incident.


As Deep Throat (someone knows the fact of Watergate, seems to be working for the Government) gives some hints to them, they come close to the core of Watergate.


Overcoming several dangerous phases,
They Finally succeed to publish.

Two young men changed the world !
All people who are interested in journalism must watch this.

Their boss leaves moving message to them at last,
"freedom of press and maybe the future of the country rides on THIS"
