Nixon

Slovenski opis filma:

Biografska drama spremlja nekdanjega ameriškega predsednika Nixona (Anthony Hopkins) od mladih dni do predsedovanja v Beli hiši, ki se je končalo sramotno – kot edini predsednik ZDA je po aferi Watergate ponudil svoj odstop.Anthony Hopkins zablesti na filmskem platnu v vlogi nekdanjega ameriškega predsednika Richarda M. Nixona pod režijsko taktirko kontroverznega režiserja Oliverja Stona. Za štiri oskarje nominirana biografska drama prinaša osupljiv portret zapletenega moža, čigar možnosti za resnično veličino je uničila njegova strast do moči. Vpletenost v zaroto, razkrita v aferi Watergate, je ogrozila državno varnost in pomenila sramotni konec njegovega predsedovanja v Beli hiši. Med fantastično igralsko zasedbo so tudi Ed Harris, James Woods ter Joan Allen. Izjemno filmsko doživetje, ki ga ne kaže zamuditi!

Originalni opis filma:

Director Oliver Stone's exploration of former president Richard Nixon's strict Quaker upbringing, his nascent political strivings in law school, and his strangely self-effacing courtship of his wife, Pat. The contradictions in his character are revealed early, in the vicious campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas and the oddly masochistic Checkers speech. His defeat at the hands of the hated and envied John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election, followed by the loss of the 1962 California gubernatorial race, seem to signal the end of his career. Yet, although wholly lacking in charisma, Nixon remains a brilliant political operator, seizing the opportunity provided by the backlash against the antiwar movement to take the presidency in 1968. It is only when safely in office, running far ahead in the polls for the 1972 presidential election, that his growing paranoia comes to full flower, triggering the Watergate scandal.
