Once again, movies that are based on novels for me are usually very interesting, but especially in this film because it is based on a non fiction book.
All the President's Men was a interesting movie for me to watch because I like the time era that this movie took place in because I think all the Watergate scandals and the President Nixon era was very interesting.
The story of two Washington Post reporters and how they helped solve the Watergate scandal. This movie had the perfect outline to get me interested.
I like how the movie makes more sense because of the way it is shot through the point of view of the two reporters and how it starts with the arrest at the Watergate of the five men, and then through basically a series of accusations and admissions of guilt and that basically brought the end to the Nixon presidency.
Sometimes I thought this movie became a little confusing because of all the different people and committees that are in the movie. That being said, they did a great job in this film of incorporating every committee that was involved in this scandal. For example the television images of Nixon landing on the white house roof and
and the house of representatives and of other people including Attorney General John N. Mitchell, former vice preident Agnew, and Representative Gerald R. Ford.
Since this movie was all about the Nixon Watergate scandal, I think that this movie helped shape cultural values that we have today in the way we view the presidential position and just the country itself. Also how seriously we take the security and honestly at those high priority levels. I think that this movie also shaped some of the social minds of people who view the presidential position in a negative way because they simply don't trust the government.
This movie was worth while to watch and a great movie for people who are interested in learning more about the Watergate scandal.
