I am curious as to whether the safety of Woodward and Bernstein was played up for the sake of the film? Certainly they were being spied on, but did they really have to fear their lives? That whole fear aspect seemed a bit awkward in the film and I am curious if it was a real fear or something played up to add tension in the film?- Bryan Mull | I am curious as to whether the safety of Woodward and Bernstein was played up for the sake of the film?

| + | In response to Bryan-- I think that when a dude who works for the FBI makes you meet him in a parking garage in the middle of the night over a period of about 8 months and finally tells you that people in every part and in every level of the government are involved as conspirators to do illegal bidding for the President, anyone would get freaked out that he was being watched or bugged or possibly endangered. So even if Woodward and Burnstein weren't being spied on--I think they at least had just cause to fear that they might be in the context of the movie.-- Jackie Reed | ||
In the book and in the movie, Woodward would put the flag up whenever he wanted to meet w/ Deep Throat, and DT would mark the NY Times in case he wanted to meet w/ Woodward. However, the movie primarily showed Woodward making an effort to meet DT. How often did DT request to meet w/ Woodward? - David F. | In the book and in the movie, Woodward would put the flag up whenever he wanted to meet w/ Deep Throat, and DT would mark the NY Times in case he wanted to meet w/ Woodward.
