All the President's Men

I think that this movie would have been more interesting if I would have knew more about the Watergate, but they state so many names, dates, and  much more details that go into the Watergate and Nixon's resignation that it is more confusing than anything. This movie does not go much into personal lives of the characters but more into their professional lives. This movie was very boring and it seemed like the audience would wait for something exciting to happen, but all they did was talk the entire movie. I also think that the plot was carried out just like they wanted it to be, and the acting was also very good. The actors were brilliant at acting as if they had been in those positions before, they talked the talk, and their personae was on key. The nice thing about this movie was that even though it was boring they could take a boring scene and make it suspenseful even if the guy just walked across the room. I do not think this film has a basic genre, because it does not fit under the categories they give, but you would think that it fit under something. It was also different that this movie was a story about a story, it stayed on subject, and gave the story of such a historic event. It was nice to watch this movie, because I did not remember much about it in school and I never realized how big of a deal Watergate was. I think for my generation this movie might not affect us as much, because we were not around when it was happening, but for the older generation it might be more emotional for them or affected them more, because they witnessed things during this period. For me, I was pretty lost in what was going on that I had to read reviews on this movie, and even after reading the review I had to keep rereading parts of the review. I also think that the technical skills put into this movie helped it be a better movie along with the acting that was done.
