I watched Frost/Nixon last night. It's a movie about David Frost, the reporter who did a series of interviews with former President Nixon in 1978, and finally got Nixon to admit that he broke the law during the Watergate scandal. The movie's really well done, the acting's good, and it really casts an interesting light on Nixon. Nixon's A Very Bad Man, but the movie humanizes him -- it makes you see how, after the Watergate incident, he became very sad because no one really liked him anymore, and he felt very lonely.
Oh, and Nixon sounds a little bit like The Joker from Batman, so that's a plus, too. |

I want to see this so bad. I had friends who got to see the play during its' initial run in London and they raved about it.

I'm interested in watching the movie, but I'm afraid I'll get majorly confused. I know almost nothing about the whole Nixon scandal.
