Nixon & Watergate

In this clip, Nixon is clearly angry. He is talking with much conviction and he is very passionate about what he is saying. This seems to be the first time Nixon is actually candid. In all his speeches he has something to read off of, and knows exactly what he is going to say. In the Frost Nixon interviews Frost was ultimately in control of what was going to happen. Nixon did now know what exactly Frost was going to ask, and had to prepare himself for the worst. In this clip we see Nixon trying to defend himself saying he was not trying to cover anything up. Later in the interview he states that if he wanted to cover it up he could have easily. This interview was very interesting, they should both the reactions of Nixon and Frost as Nixon was talking. Yet, when they should Frost they were at medium view, and with Nixon they were very close up. It was as if they wanted the American people to be able to judge for themselves if Nixon was telling the truth. In other parts of the interview he is much more relaxed, but when the issue of the cover up is brought up they get very close on Nixon, and he gets riled up.
