Nixon

Langella's portrayal of Nixon was great. Nixon seemed like an intelligent articulate man. Too bad he got mixed up in the Watergate scandal. There was a moment in the film when he showed a sign of dementia or memory loss. When he asked Frost if he really made a phone call to Frost.

This film is very relevant today. Can you guess why?

Agreed, that talk he gives to Frost on the phone was about 4-5 minutes of some of the best acting I've ever seen. And overall, it's a very good movie in my view...

I just watched it (October, 2020). Why is it relevant today? Anything to do with Nixon / Trump comparisons?
