Frost/Nixon. I lived through all of Nixon's presidency and much of his political history in the 1950s and 1960s. I loved the film but I simply did not see the excellent acting, screenplay and direction as having much to do with either Frost or Nixon. Its a great story based around history, but not about history. I saw the actual tv shows and they were not as interesting as the movie, and Frost always seemed to me very superficial. His agonies seemed to be more about his image than any quality in his shows. Given all that this movie still seemed to me to represent an interesting look at the way these two people may have acted towards each other - I dod not particularly like either person, but as I said - I loved the movie. However, Re. Frost/Nixon.

The events of this movie took place before my time but it seems like a good movie to watch for the performances. Thanks for the review!
