All the President’s Men, 1976, Drama
Plot: This movie followed the unraveling of the Watergate scandal by two Washington Post reporters.
Thoughts: The authenticity of this film was very impressive, it’s always nice to see films based on true stories more truth than fiction. The film co-stars Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman (two of the biggest Hollywood names at that time) and is full of drama and mystery.
The direction of the film had the feel of the New Hollywood Age era and captured that ruggedness. The cinematographer, Gordon Willis, is best known for his work in The Godfather (my favorite film) and he captures that same dark feeling that worked so beautifully in the Godfather parts I and II. This movie was very engaging and despite knowing the ending, the director kept it fresh for everyone’s mind.
