Great movie 9 out of 10
Stone pulled a masterstroke in choosing the independent fiery Welshman to play Nixon. stone said he knew about wales being fiercely independent and he knew that the welsh felt the same and that suited Nixon who was part welsh from the old quakers of north America
whilst Nixon is viewed as an anti hero I think the complexity of the movie and the vast array of influences within the complex man that was Nixon gives this movie a long term value. the lies, the deceit, the pride, the bitterness, the regret, the guilt, the torment, the confused values, the warring parties, the self interested advisor's, his haunted past, his long suffering family etc etc brilliant cast, brilliant direction and unlike any presidential movie |Ive ever seen oh and Hopkins is the best actor in the world
