Viewing the film "All the President's Men" I saw a true work of art and a testimony to journalism's finest hour.
Gripping emotions of fear were threaded throughout the film leading you from scene to scene. A dark indoor parking lot although shot in color appeared in your mind as black and white full of deep shadows. Driving forward not knowing where they are going or to what end they will find.These are all portions from this highly acclaimed film, of how two journalists brought down a president and lived to tell about it.
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward were shown as young and hungry journalists, bringing compelling evidence piece by piece to their managing editors that were creditable enough to keep the investigation going forward.
It was their due diligence, to get the story that gives us cause to be still reviewing this film after forty years.
