looking forward to this one. bought the independent today with the original interview. . . Michael Sheen looks pretty impressive . . . i think might have to rent all the presidents men as a warm up. . . |

yeah i just finished watching the originals and when compared with the trailer it seems clear they've exercised a bit of dramatic license with the facts. . . |

i'm annoyed they had to fictionalise some of it, surely they could have made a compelling film without doing that? |

haven't seen the movie yet, but the documentary is awesome. that interview was filmed beautifully. just long shots where you can actually nixon physically respond to the interviewer. it shows all the magic in the non-verbal department. it's hard to believe this movie has something to add, other than to display actors trying to emulate those details. |

yea, having seen both, i can't say if this fictionalized film is really worth all the effort... the interviews speak for themselves. however, at least the film tells a very neat narrative, even if they did invent half of it - but if they did, I feel sorry for them. The actors are good, the historical settings look convincing... it's a pretty good movie, but the way it tries to dramatize a rather trivial story is cringe-worthy at times. And why on Earth would they add FAKE talking heads to a movie?? insane. |

it's got 90% at rotten tomatoes so far. . . seems worth a peep. . . |

having just seen the movie, the funny thing is that it makes sense the movie is dramatized. they could have gone the realistic way and actually followed the transcript of the interviews, instead of mixing it all up and ram it into a 5 minutes climax, but that would automatically reduce the movie to just a copy of the interview and making it redundant, one, and two, the movie would blatantly fall short when directly compared to reality. that 5 minutes climax, it's like they forced reality through a compressor - perhaps by necessity - and squeezed every bit of real emotion out of it. the problem is not necessarily with the actors, but with the given time. i think i'll save a copy of the documentary and delete the movie from hd. |
