Frost/Nixon


Frost/Nixon takes place after Richard Nixon's 1974 resignation. He shys away from the public scene and interaction with the media until 1977, when David Frost, a talk show host, convinces and pays Nixon to do a sequence of TV interviews. While Frost views the event as an opportunity to prove his skills as a journalist, the shamed Richard Nixon sees the interviews as a chance to restore his political image.

What I loved most about this movie was without a doubt the acting. Frank Langella and Michael Sheen do not just play the characters of Richard Nixon and David Frost, but completely embody them. These actors really made the personalities of the historical figures come to life. It is incredible to me that a movie about a series of interviews could be so entertaining.
