Frost/Nixon the movie

As an 18-year-old, I voted for Nixon as did most Americans in 1972. But I barely remember the details of the Watergate scandal, just that it soured me and many others in my generation to not trust those in charge. So I wasn’t sure I’d like Ron Howard’s movie, Frost/Nixon. I didn’t think it could be interesting, because I didn’t think Nixon was an interesting man. But I was wrong. The writing, casting, directing, and acting make this a must-see movie, especially in light of the outgoing Bush administration which seems to have broken the law on many more counts than Richard Nixon’s did. Frost/Nixon reminds us why we lost faith in our leaders and why it was important to vote for someone who we hope will give us back that faith.Frank Langella did a superb job of portraying the angst-ridden Nixon and the movie deserves all of its 5 Golden Globe nominations, including Best Actor.  It definitely gets a High Five from me.
