Nixon's midnight visit to the Lincoln Memorial

submitted by NicoleBee

1 decade 6 years 2 months 1 week ago

Nixon, played by Anthony Hopkins, impulsively visits the Lincoln memorial at midnight, the ninth of may 1970. He spoke briefly with protesters before being ushered away by the secret service.

This picture intercuts with many violent images, so be aware..

Nice one, Nicole! 'Nixon' is second only to 'JFK' as the best presidential flick. We'll see how 'W' stands up in the coming weeks.

It may be obvious but I wanted to point it out anyway, that this scene is a dramatic interpretation of a confrontation between Nixon and the "young people" of whom Nixon always regarded as "troublemakers." So while this confrontation never really happened, from a dramatic, storytelling perspective, it reveals a truth about Nixon's personality and his remarkable political prowess.

Moving this video to NicoleBee's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I'm sorry, but I must insist.. *beg
