    You also could have done comparisons of audio segments of the real Nixon tapes next to reenacted dialogue from this movie. But really great video, extremely well synced and edited, I love this kind of stuff! Maybe you can do another on George W. Bush & Dick Cheney after this new movie Vice comes out, in tandem with W.
    I know you probably get a lot of suggestions, but a really good film collection to put together next to real footage would be portrayals of Lyndon Johnson from RFK (2002, James Cromwell), All the Way (2016, Bryan Cranston), Path to War (2002, Michael Gambon) and Selma (2014, Tom Wilkinson). The latter two films actually contain a scene that's nearly word for word the same scene, just portrayed very differently with regard to the personalized interpretation of George Wallace. The same goes for a scene from Robert Kennedy & His Times (1985) depicting a tense confrontation between RFK and LBJ that is seemingly reenacted fully in the 2002 RFK film. Both RFK and Path to War include portrayals of Johnson's 1968 pledge not to run for reelection. I'm not sure whether the portrayal of Johnson in Jackie (2016) by John Carroll Lynch includes anything that we can see of him in footage. There was also a new movie about him titled simply LBJ with Woody Harrelson as the lead that I haven't seen yet.
    Anyway, lots of good material, it would definitely be awesome to pick all scenes that were derived from real TV footage.

    • @Lysimachus
      @Lysimachus 4 роки тому +8

      The best actor for the role is not necessarily the one who looks exactly like the person in question - Hopkins is a highly expressive actor, his face can tell you what the character must be feeling which is why he looks so tortured during the depictions of Nixon's worst moments of his political career, which is in contrast to Nixon's well-maintained composure in real life. But we know he was tortured by these experiences and it nurtured the villain in him. As a consequence of Hopkins' efforts, even Nixon's biggest detractors can dredge up sympathy for the man and see that he was not some naturally villainous individual, but a person who rose from austere becomings, competed with rich kids in the arena, dinged and banged through many setbacks, all to reach the presidency. The point of the biopic isn't necessarily to make art imitating life, but to make art reveal the hidden layers that the untrained eye cannot see in what they perceive as reality.

      He doesn’t have to be a perfect match to Nixon to play Nixon. The point is to tell a story, not do a 3 hour long impersonation. It’s not to bring the real Nixon back to life, it’s to tell a story. A story can be as exaggerated and dramatised as it wants to be. Prosthetics would’ve hid anthony hopkins’s own expressions and acting.

    Anthony Hopkins did a good job, but he was a little heavy physically. The real Nixon was husky, Hopkins looks bulky. He got the voice and facial expressions down well except the nose. I think Walter Matthau, Marlon Brando, Patrick Swayze, Kevin Kline or William Shatner in 1995 would have been a perfect Nixon for the movie. Hopkins was still good and so is the movie.

      Hopkins performance was of this stocky, sweaty guy who overcompensated at times and visibly looked dazzled on other occasions.

      I think it's magnificent performance. He captured the spirit of the man, the good and the bad. You walk away from the film understanding what drove him. It's a very empathetic portrayal. Someone walked up to Oliver Stone after seeing it and said, "I always hated Nixon, but you made me cry for the sonofabitch." That's quite an endorsement of the performance. He doesn't look like him, but after awhile it doesn't matter because he captures the man, the soul of the man, the body language, and the social awkwardness it gives off. I prefer this performance 1000 times over Frank Langella's - which is, in reality, an IMPRESSION of Nixon, not a PERFORMANCE as Nixon. It is Langella's version that portrays Nixon as Hollywood's favorite villain, not Hopkins. Oliver Stone's Nixon is his finest film - Beautifully shot, great cinematography, editing, and big actors doing big things. It is operatic and bold. It has common themes with Citizen Kane, and tells a similar story. It's one of the ten best films of that decade. And it is anchored by Hopkins brilliant performance.

      It's Nixon as tragic Shakespearean figure. A man with many good intentions, undone by his own character flaws. Hopkins brings to it an authenticity flavored with embellishment, in a search for the emotional truth of the subject. It's a fascinating look at Nixon, and viewing clips out of context really doesn't get to the heart of the lead performance.
