Marshall -- From the "CD Journal" database From Amazon Oliver Stone, a master who continues to be obsessed with the Vietnam War and its era, coldly depicts the tumultuous life of Richard M. Nixon, the 37th U.S. President, in this biographical epic drama. Anthony Hopkins gives a passionate performance as Nixon, who, with ambition in his heart, becomes president, strives to balance power with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and achieves the restoration of diplomatic relations with China and the end of the Vietnam War, but falls into disgrace due to the Watergate scandal. His behavior, the more fiercely he acts, the more he is criticized by the world and becomes self-deprecating, which somehow reminds us of Oliver Stone's own way of life. Furthermore, the film's bold interpretation that Nixon was behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy caused controversy around the world, provoking both praise and criticism, as well as opposition from the bereaved families at the time of its release.
