About this product

Product Information

The power of television, and one man's drive to achieve what seems like, at times, an impossible dream, are the two central themes explored in Ron Howard's enthralling drama FROST/NIXON. The impossible dream belongs to David Frost (Michael Sheen), a moderately successful English talk show host who set out to interview disgraced former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) following his resignation in 1974. Howard examines how Frost pulled off such an audacious achievement, and also looks at how both sides prepared for the series of interviews, which eventually transpired in 1977. The confrontation between the two is laced with tension, and the director makes it clear that both men had plenty to lose and a lot to gain, depending on who the public perceived to be in control. Langella gives a supreme performance as Nixon, easily matching Anthony Hopkins's turn as the former president in Oliver Stone's NIXON (1995). Howard's film, which is based on the play of the same name by Peter Morgan, expertly pits the two men against one another by highlighting both their strengths and weaknesses. Frost was a consummate TV host but was out of his depth in political commentary; Nixon was highly adept at avoiding direct answers to Frost's questions, but couldn't mask his sullen facial expressions from the camera. Sheen and Langella are supported by a resolutely excellent cast, and the tension builds to almost unbearable levels as the two finally sit down and discuss Nixon's career. The key scene, in which Nixon's true feelings are exposed via a simple trick--a close-up shot of the former president's sad-eyed face, clearly indicating his deep unhappiness at all his failings--is adeptly handled by Howard, and serves to highlight how vital it is for politicians to perform under the unforgiving gaze of the media.

    Game arrived in pretty well the condition as described, the map has slight tears it in, but what can I expect from a literal 20 year old game. And this could have been an easy oversight when listing. Seller was quick to answer my questions when I messaged them, and were very professional and to the point. I would highly recommend this seller and me personally, will be purchasing more from them in the future. Thank you again! Cheers!

    A must see for contemporary history buffs

    Frank Langella portrays Nixon as a withdrawn, and brooding former POTUS who seems to have retreated into a separate reality where he has done nothing wrong. ('Sound familiar?) This is very different from the scheming, maniacal president we saw portrayed by Anthony Hopkins in NIXON. Both actors probably got it right; Nixon was a very complicated person. In all, the movie was compelling to watch. I highly recommend it.

    Frost/Nixon ( 2009)

    Recalling the days of Watergate, the scandal that led to the resignation of the former President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, this film provided the "missing piece" of the quintessential question of that crisis: did Nixon know and/or approve of that 3rd-rate burglary of the Democratic offices in that Watergate Hotel? Living at a stone's throw from that Hotel during my teenage years, I can recall the media trucks stopping traffic for over two months, somethin gthat had been unprededented at the time. The accomplishments of the TV Journalist Mr. Frost is accentuated in this great movie, shrewdly and efficiently directed by the great Ron Howard, makes this film more than it appears. The movie cannot be judged by it's cover nor assumed content. To recapture those moments in time was ...

    An Exxcellent Film

    Frank Langella is absolutely superb in this film. I think he should have won the academy award for his role as Richard Nixon. This film does put one in memory of the drama of the era of the 1970's. The "Watergate" fiasco discussed was on everyone's lips... As a result which is what is now history, President Richard M. Nixon felt it necessary to resign. The impetus to take a position for himself and posterity, (although it is said that President Nixon needed the money), the interview with David Frost occurred. Michael Sheen does a wonderful job in his portrayal as the jetsetting, witty, jesting Television Talk host. An interesting view of behind the scenes preparation for the discussion with David Frost and President Richard Nixon. This film was excellent, and ...

    Brilliant writing/acting reinvigorates old story

    Much like Presley & Monroe, the rise & fall of the Nixon presidency still fascinates. In this film, not that David Frost was such an incisive interviewer, but more that Richard Nixon was suffering big time mea culpas. Frank Langella IS Nixon - the heavy jowly dark-eyed despair that the camera catches in the interview's last frame is (almost) wrenching. Three years after his shameful shuffling out the back door, Nixon HAD to admit his guilt & participation just to appease his demons, let alone live another 20+ years. As Frost, Michael Sheen is, of course, a brilliant chameleon actor. Finally, as James Reston (ably portrayed by Sam Rockwell) encapsulates at the film's end: All Nixon will be remembered for is as the man who gave us the suffix "gate" to describe anything politically ...
