Where to Watch Nixon
- Charles London5 mars 2025Oliver Stone is tasked with making a likable movie about an unlikable character, the egnimatic Richard Nixon. The tragic parallel is that throughout his political career, and also the film, Nixon laments his unlikable persona while raging jealously against the nation's love for JFK and RFK, though one could argue that Nixon's accomplishments exceeded anything the Kennedys did. There are some good scenes scattered about in this film of 3 hours plus, and Nixon's paranoia, self-destructive behavior, and ultimate undoing are well dramatzed by Anthony Hopkins. If you are willing to put in the time, the movie does just enough to warrant a viewing, albeit with a hint of caution. Buyer beware. In spite of it's accomplishments "Nixon" is difficult to truly embrace, because just like Tricky Dick himself, it's simply unlovable. Irony can be cruel.

Efter en kometkarriär som kongressledamot, senator och vicepresident förlorade den otroligt ambitiöse Richard M Nixon till Kennedy i valkampanjen 1960. Åtta år senare, trots rykten om inblandning i mordet på John F Kennedy och CIA:s misslyckade kupp mot Castro, beträder Nixon tronen som Förenade Staternas president. Problemen i det amerikanska samfundet växer för varje dag, motståndet mot kriget i Vietnam ökar, ungdomsupproret och missnöjet breder ut sig. Nixon börjar att känna att uppgiften att styra denna enorma apparat han är satt att styra är honom övermäktig. I ett desperat försök att frånta bl.a. CIA och FBI deras enorma makt över allting, upprättar Richard Nixon sin egna hemliga underrättelsetjänst. Det blir starten på den lavin som kom att gå under namnet Watergate.
