Frost Nixon Interview,



I didn't know much about The Watergate Scandal before watching the 2009 film. After watching the film, I went ahead and saw this version. Aside from the acting being proven spot-on, the telling close-ups of Nixon were even more compelling... chilling. Looking at his eyes while Frost quotes line after line of incriminating evidence. The interview is the unofficial admittance of wrongdoing on behalf of Nixon. His humanity came out in his confessions. I have so much to say, but I think it'd be best for people to just watch the interview in its entirety. A true landmark of investigatory journalism.
