ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN (1976): How Watergate Changed Journalism Forever
Description
Watergate, the scandal that toppled Nixon. All the President’s Men (1976) tells the story of Woodward and Bernstein, the two Washington Post journalists who “followed the money” and uncovered corruption at the highest level. But does the film hold up today or has it become a mythologized version of journalism that no longer exists?
Richard, Thorin, and MonteCristo dig into Robert Redford & Dustin Hoffman’s iconic roles, the slow-burn procedural style, the myth of journalism as a heroic truth-to-power force, and why this movie may feel like historical fiction in today’s cynical political world.
