		Nixon is a 1995 film which tells the story of the political and personal life of former President Richard Nixon.
		The film covers all aspects of Nixon's life in order to get a better psychological portrait of both the man and the president; however, the film is not to be taken as literal history "as it happened," but rather as a pastiche and composite of actual events.
		The film ends with Nixon's resignation and famous departure from the lawn of the White House on the helicopter Army One.

	Richard Nixon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nixon's early life was marked by tragedy in the deaths of two of his brothers, Arthur and Harold, from tuberculosis.
		Nixon likewise was instructed by CBS television producers to wear a grey suit that blended into the backdrop, whereas Kennedy was told by the same producer to wear a fl suit which would stand out when fl and white television was the standard.
		Nixon also promised "peace with honor," and without claiming to be able to win the war, Nixon claimed that "new leadership will end the war and win the peace in the Pacific".

		Stone's only ideological polemic in the film is toattempt to link Nixon to the assassination of John F. Kennedy by his association with ultra-right wing businessleaders, anti-Castro Cubans, and Nixon'svisit to Dallas in November of 1963 (coincidingwith Kennedy's own, ill-fated arrival at Dallas's Love Field).

	Nixon (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film is a non-chronological narrative and is typical of Oliver Stone's visual style and cinematic approach to history, using a variety of film stocks and video techniques to give a sense of time, place, psychology and mood.
		Both Hopkins and Stone decided to eschew the use of prosthetic makeup in creating the iconographic figure of Richard Nixon (test makeup for Nixon actually appears in some quickly edited clips during the film, and looks almost odd in comparison).
		Real life footage of Nixon's state funeral in Yorba Linda, California plays out over the extended end credits, and all living presidents at the time, including Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, are shown in attendance [2].

	Nixon - Collector's Edition Movie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Richard Nixon that I recall played his cards much closer to his vest (he was a terrific poker player, according to his naval buddies who lost a lot of their mustering out money to him aboard ship) and was not nearly as sympathetic as Hopkins and Stone make him.
		Nixon was cold and unfeeling except when it came to something that touched on his self-interest, and then he became pathological.
		A third great scene is late in the film as a drunken Pat Nixon confronts Nixon, who is falling apart under the pressure of the Watergate investigation, her eyes the eyes of woman looking at a worm, her manner accusatory and venomous.

	Nixon movie review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Nixon is portrayed as actually trying to fight this, and my personal view is that Nixon's (and his adminstration's) actions were actually good: they make one realise how petty and insipid the game of politics is.
		Nixon was no better or no worse than all the people before and after him who hold positions of power.
		The fact that Nixon almost defeated Kennedy, and the fact that he was re-elected by the people speaks a lot of this than what we see in the movie.

	Nixon Movie Review
		NIXON is the bleak story of a man who had a harsh, unpleasant childhood.
		NIXON is a look inside the head of Richard Nixon that comes up with no revelations beyond that it was a dark and scary place haunted by images of his youth, a place as frightful for Nixon as it was for anybody else.
		Pat Nixon (played by Joan Allen) is elevated to almost heroic stature, torn between love and loyalty on one hand and moderation and conscience on the other.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Nixon
		The well-documented events that unfold in between are intertwined with Nixon remembering the events that marked both his life - traumatic childhood in 1920s California - and the history - Chequers speech, 1960 and 1968 elections, Vietnam War and his foreign policy triumphs.
		Movie also suffers because of Stone's desire to make it look "cool" by combining different film stock, using MTV-style editing and putting Chinese and Cyrillic characters in the scenes that feature Nixon's meetings with leaders of China and Soviet Union.
		At the very end of the film, when Hopkins' Nixon gets replaced with the documentary footage of 37th President, the audience would get impression that the real character was more intriguing and interesting than the one portrayed in the movie.

	MOVIE REVIEW: NIXON
		It is hard not to compare the Nixon and JFK movies, since both are 3-hour Oliver Stone docudramas that blend facts, theories, and historical recreations.
		Nixon was too shrewd to have been brought down simply by some bumbling burglars.
		The significance of this is that the Washington Post steered all the wrongdoing into the lap of Nixon and his White House men, rather than to the CIA and intelligence community.

		All the while, he is bombarded by the TV images of Richard Nixon, the man he blames as the real cause of all the world’s (and Sam’s) problems.

	Nixon Movie Review
		NIXON covers pretty much the whole life of the disgraced President, beginning with the bungled Watergate break-in and flashing back to his first Presidential campaign (including a re-enactment of the famous TV debate with Kennedy), his football days and even early home life.
		Joan Allen does particular justice to the role of Pat Nixon, longsuffering wife of a crazed man who never calls her anything but "Buddy" and keeps promising a happy marriage at the next stage of his career, until finally they both reach the top and things are worse than ever.
		NIXON is the movie that proves Oliver Stone should stick to long, surreal biographies of American presidents rather than Generation X slasher satire.

		As the war escalates, Nixon is determined to win his reelection by a landslide and doesn't want an early peace settlement to jeopardize his popularity.
		Because of extreme political paranoia and Nixon's own refusal to accept Kissinger's initial peace contract, the negotiations fail, leading to a bloody and violent end to the war in January 1973.
		Before Nixon's eventual resignation, Kissinger was appointed secretary of state and Haig became the new chief of staff in what would become one of the most notorious and well known terms in White House history.

	The Assassination of Richard Nixon review - movie review of the Niels Mueller film starring Sean Penn
		Behind the portrait of an ordinary loser who, due to humiliations and disappointments, decides to hijack a plane and crash it into the White House, The Assassination of Richard Nixon delivers a harsh and cruel vision of American society, carried from beginning to end by the masterful Sean Penn.
		Moreover, Sam's boss compares his job to what Nixon exerts (re-elected into 1972 thanks to the same campaign promises of the previous campaign that he did not even keep), in which success (selling his merchandise) necessarily passes through a lie, in one of these many restaurant scenes which are transformed into interrogation or humiliation sessions.
		Even he doesn't really believe it, notably when he presents himself as a confident businessman in front of a banker whom he asks for a loan, or when he assures his wife that he is in control of his own life.

	Nixon movie info - dvds - Oliver Stone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Many of you may not be as enthused by politics and history as I. Even so, you owe it to the memory of this highly misunderstood leader to see the truth of what actually happened during Watergate and during his tenure as president.
		"Nixon" is perfect example of how to take outstanding performances by actors and totally negate them through what can only be described as gross artistic, technical, and historical license.
		Anthony Hopkins (as Richard Nixon), Joan Allen (as Pat Nixon), and Paul Sorvino (as Henry Kissinger) give powerful performances, but director/screenwriter Oliver Stone completely spoils their efforts with his positively weird use of camera angles, oddly placed scenes, color, and his blatant attempt to re-write history.

	The Assassination of Richard Nixon Movie Review! - MoviesOnline
		Inspired by true events, The Assassination of Richard Nixon is the story of Sam Bique, a man against the system who plotted against President Richard Nixon back in 1974.
		Nixon was on a lot (a lot!) on TV, and Sam watched him with a priceless face of disbelief and an ever growing hate for the American way of life and the system.
		Despite some slow pacing at parts, the movie is strong, and Penn's performance is stronger, reason enough to give this movie a try.

	OOFnet - Cinema - Nixon - Movie Reviews
		Nixon, I think, would've fared better as a fictional portrait of a fictional president ''heavily based'' on Nixon; as it stands, Stone's film is an incongruous mess, both pathetic and brilliant.
		The film follows Nixon from his childhood as the poor son of a grocer who sees his brothers fall to tuberculosis to his beginnings in politics, to his loss in his first election to JFK to his election and his demise.
		Nixon is an odd beast; it's so wildly uneven that no two viewers will see the same movie.

		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.
		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.
		NIXON was the last film for costume designer Richard Hornung, who died of AIDS December 30, 1995, at the age of 45.

	The Assassination of Richard Nixon Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Assassination of Richard Nixon is like a Rodney Dangerfield routine played straight, an orgy of masochism about a man who gets no respect.
		The plot derives from the true story of Samuel Byck, a mentally disturbed Philadelphia man who blamed President Nixon for his personal troubles and, on Feb. 22, 1974, attempted to hijack a plane leaving Baltimore-Washington International Airport and crash it into the White House.
		In Mueller and Kennedy’s version, Sam (Sean Penn) is a ferrety little man who works as an office furniture salesman, having been forced out of his brother’s tire dealership because, as he tells it, he insisted on being honest.

	The Assassination of Richard Nixon Review Movie Review Film The Assassination of Richard Nixon: Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, ...
		For years, the Oscar-winning Sean Penn has enthralled movie audiences with his well-rounded edgy characterizations thus pitting him as one of an elite group of skillful artists ever to step in front of a camera.
		The Assassination of Richard Nixon is based on a real 1974 event telling the sordid story of an upset American wanting to shake things up by hijacking a commercial airliner in hopes of smashing the White House into smithereens thus ridding the unsettling country of Nixon and his fellow nemesis.
		Mueller's screenplay and direction is bold in its moodiness and has the knack for tacking on the furious fodder that eats away at the spotty soul of a desperate man whose only release is wallowing in self-pity and self-disgust.
