David Frost's interview of Richard Nixon is one of the most important interviews ever conducted due to the fact that Frost and Nixon engaged in a battle that would make Nixon admit to his wrongdoings while in office over Watergate. The conversation is enthralling and engaging. Little by little, you see Richard Nixon come out of his shell, and become more uncomfortable when the subject diverts to Watergate. But before that, Frost interview the former President on a variety of subjects. Everything presented here is truly compelling, and is a must watch for those interested in the history of what happened. Near the end of the interview, you see Richard Nixon broken down and defeated as he admits to his abuse of power while in office and how he comes to regret what he has done. This is not meant to take Nixon into Pity as it is clear that he was a crook, and a liar, and a deceiver of the worst kind. This was designed to give the American people an apology, something that Nixon hadn't previously done. For history purposes, this is quite the experience to watch. The interview is famous and it would be the basis for the film Frost/Nixon, which was how they worked on making this interview. The result is impressive and it is a worthwhile viewing, but is mostly for those interested in the subject. If you're curious, give it a watch, it's worth it and it's quite the subject when you see Nixon break down and become a shell of his former self.

Saw a movie, it seems, about the famous interview, yesterday. Apparently, President Nixon praised the Italian crafted shoes of Frost, not his double breasted jacket, very aptly tailored, comprising a suit, of an exquisite color, in the movie. The tie was also prominent, but it didn't somehow suggest the Marylebone Cricket Club, neither a school tie, nor the Cambridge University, to me either. Really nice movie, and I thought that Nixon was perhaps the most politically correct politician, and he respected that he was presiding over the U. S. administration as the figurehead. He went to China, not on his own calling. It appears, that he was just like the immediately former President Bush, and he was so interested in the political process, that he engaged with the Chinese govt., not knowing perhaps, how relevant China was, before he himself became President. I don't know, whether China was to Presidents before Nixon, what India and Pakistan were to President Bush, after he became President of the United States. The movie suggests, that Nixon had a high regard for Frost, and he spoke to him as if he was empathizing with himself, in a warm, self appreciating manner. Frost appeared to take favor of the situation, appropriately. It seems, President Nixon was seated opposite to the Chinese First lady, and Mrs. Nixon was also facing the Chinese Chairman, during public occasions in China, and it was the most sombre occasion, when the seating arrangement occurred. Apparently, also, it wasn't sombre in exchange, but how the President felt, seated opposite the wife of the Chairman, and he could appreciate the humor in that instance, later, in the west, long after his presidency.

Con una realización increible, en un formato documental mezclado con Ficción, este trabajo fue sin duda uno de los mejores del año, que señala la gran importancia del ejercicio se la entrevista, donde los juegos de poderes son auténticos. Con actuaciones memorables, esta es una de mis mas grandes refomendaciones.
