Frost/Nixon...

...I highly recommend this fascinating film about the end of the Nixon presidency.

Perhaps this film just resonated with me, personally, since I remember the era so clearly.

I was in college during the late 1960's and early '70's and recall my strong feeling about Nixon, the Viet Nam War and all the demonstrations, including Kent State. I recall being mesmerized by the Watergate hearings, the "Saturday Night Massacre" when he fired the special prosecutor, and ultimately his resignation and the Ford pardon.

This very well done Ron Howard film captures the essence of Richard Nixon and his downfall.

Watching it I couldn't help but wonder who will do the interview like this, asking similar questions to George Bush. Very timely.

I'd give it an A.
