I found it to contain both angles. It was bipartisan and it showed the emotions on both sides of the angle--the celebrations of the libs and hippies and the sorrow and loneliness of the Nixon crowd. It sparked emotion from both viewpoints just like the original and all movies should.
As far as response, yes, I am a Republican and I may have some bias. Still, I find some sympathy no matter how it may be construed for President Nixon. Yes, he did some things that were bad and illegal. Yes, he tried to make his point clear but was criticized by his opponents and his peers but the point is there is a shread of thing called sympathy that after all the things had passed he was lonely for the rest of his days until he died in 1994 of a stroke. Some may call me corrupt for even suggesting sympathy for him--it is a highly liberal day. Still, it has to be recommended that some good came from the man whose enemies closed in on him from childhood -- his abusive father, the deaths of his brothers-- it would drive many off the edge. Conversely, it made him stronger and in the end, the circle was complete. He had gone from criticism to star to criticism and he regretted it in the interview if not so much by words, by emotion. This may lead even the hardest to wonder what it must have been like.
Overall: 8.5/10
