A very interesting look at political history

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2009)

Very rarely do I see a drama film, because I'm more into comedy films like Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Airplane, but this film really surprised me.
It's kinda like one of my favourite Australian films, The Night We Called It a Day, in that we have America and another country clashing with each other. In the case of Frost/Nixon, it's America and Britain as David Frost prepares to interview former US president Richard Nixon, in what would be history in the making.
Frank and Michael are really great in their roles, and this film is very deserving of its Oscars it's nominated for. It features great camera work and wonderful dialogue from Peter Morgan, the writer of The Queen and the stage play that this film is based on.
I recommend this film to anyone who's interested in political history, or who wants to see Richard Nixon's final defeat from David Frost via the interviews done in a really great way (the film is directed by Ron Howard).
Oh, and by the way (and this is my Australian self saying this!), I love how they got to mention David Frost's time in Australia!
