Movie: Frost/Nixon
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 2 Hours 2 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: OK, I'm telling my age but I remember Nixon and Watergate very well. In fact I voted for "Tricky Dick". Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie Friday and we thought it was good but not worthy of an Oscar. I actually felt sorry for Nixon at the end. I think he got caught up in having a "God complex" and thought he could get by with anything, yet he really was a good man on the inside. I think my biggest surprise was David Frost's role. I remember him as being very British with a snobby air about him. The David Frost in the movie seemed to be always smiling and trying to please, and quite a womanizer. He did finally have to turn hard at the end to get Nixon to admit what he had done. It's worth seeing, but not my favorite movie of the year.
