All the President's Men (1976) dir. Alan J. Pakula
Half the country never even heard of the word Watergate. Nobody gives a shit. Nothing's riding on this except the first amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press, and maybe the future of the country.
ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN (Dir: Alan J Pakula, 1976).
Sometimes you forget how powerful a storytelling medium film can be until you watch a truly great movie. Such is the case with Alan J Pakula’s masterpiece All the President’s Men. Goodness knows why it has taken me 45 years to finally watch it.
Recent events in US politics, and indeed the years leading up to them, may have de-sensitised some to political corruption or at least ruined their appetite for movies about political corruption. Fret thee not as All the President’s Men is less a film about politics, rather the investigative journalists who uncovered the Watergate scandal which eventually led to the impeachment of 37th US president Richard Nixon.

I never asked about Watergate. I simply asked what were Hunt’s duties at the White House. They volunteered he was innocent when nobody asked if he was guilty.
