ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN : Movie Review


Based on the real-life story of the two reporters who would not give up on the story of the Watergate break-in, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN is as gripping as any detective movie. The movie is based on the book ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN written by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward , the two journalist who investigated the Water-Gate break in and exposed Richard Nixon and his shadow government.

The movie shows the chronicle of the Washington Post Vs. the Watergate scandal is not only a poignant statement about the role of the press in the 1970s, but also one of the most successful political movies in American history. The movie start showing a break-in occurs at the Democratic Party's National Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel, Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein begin to investigate possible connections to the Nixon campaign. As they continue their investigations, it becomes clear that the conspiracy goes to the highest levels of the Republican Party. It is simply a classical political thriller.

The movie also showcases the famous "Deep Throat" , still unidentified when the movie was filmed, is someone from the inside who will not allow himself to be identified or even quoted, but is willing to confirm what the reporters are able to find elsewhere.

Great movie about the Watergate Scandal. All though it is entertaining & educational at the same time, and is also a classic. Exciting movie, thrilling subject, definitely worth watching.
