Must see movie- Sierra

70's British Talking Head Starlet Versus America's Infamous Presidential Felon

This movie is pretty damn good, and should be a more notable Oscar winning film for this year IMO.

Often people view historical figures with unidimensional portrayals, even to the point of dehumanizing them completely as mere caricatures upon how they shaped and influenced their generation.
This happens for pretty substantial reasons of course, however, with this film- Morgan’s rendering of both Nixon (Frank Langella) and Frost (Michael Sheen) are exemplary and not so shortsighted.

This movie is about when TV personality David Frost had reaped about 60,000 dollars in an agreement to interviewing Nixon, (Being inspired by this idea after knowing the amount of people who tuned in to Nixon’s resignation speech in 1974. The interviews took place in 1977)

Frost’s associates happen to be Swifty Lazar, John Brit, Bob Zelnick, and James Reston Jr. who’s objective is to have Nixon to admit of the crimes he’s been accused of. (Anything regarding the Watergate scandal and wiretapping.)
Frost wants badly to have some remarkable almost interrogational interview that has never been attempted before. Especially realizing Nixon was pardoned and about to exile himself of to an sumptuous West Coast locale; This kind of illicit exoneration couldn't go without some "hard-hitting" trial.

In the duration of Frosts’ various interviews he begins with biting, direct disapproving questions (“Why did you burn the tapes?/Why did you cover up? Etc,) presented toward Nixon (As well as graphic footage of Vietnam and Cambodia etc,) at first Nixon strayed from the core of the question with gracious yet, vague answers that made him seem more admirable.

Eventually, in a built up of unfounded questions, Frost finally seizes moments where he gets Nixon’s stuttering and contradictories together where Nixon finally breaks down with the acrimonious trailer-worthy rebuttal.

The confluence of pothered shame and sorrow of the Ex-President’s expressions performed by Langella are outstanding. No one can really fathom that kind emotion “I let the American People Down…..and that’s a burden I’m going to have to live with for the rest of my life.”

This is a great film that captures a less myopic sense of Nixon asa man of criminal connections but also a forlorn man- who understands he has failed at one of the most grandiose responsibility’s ever.

Everyone please, go see it. Truly an Incredible film.
