Not only does it keep you on the edge of your seat even when we all know the ending, but you find yourself raising your eyebrows at events that seem absolutely unreasonable. The film can get confusing sometimes with all the dozens of names that are thrown around and who's working for who or who is telling the truth, but that's why the film works.
So much of films now in days take and are inspired from this movie.Ĭentered around Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, who were for all intents and purposes two of the most important men in the history of American journalism, but also ironically some of the only people who dared even go near the Watergate Scandal. The story is obviously devastating for many people across America, but by far the best part about this film is watching the events unfold in a unique way through Alan Pukula's directing. But more importantly, it really captures the chaotic life of an investigative journalist. All the President's Men is a fascinating portrait of how two men took down a president. Even if the story of Watergate itself wasn't as interesting as it is, this film would probably be just as good.
