Just as a side comment: it was a little distracting to see Dustin Hoffman turn around and suddenly look like a lady. It was probably the long hair and tiny, thin body. I think the flared pants also had a little to do with it, though they were accurate for the time period. And standing next to Robert Redford certainly didn’t help. Not at all. Poor guy. --Taylor Brann | Just as a side comment: it was a little distracting to see Dustin Hoffman turn around and suddenly look like a lady. It was probably the long hair and tiny, thin body.

| + | If this movie was not the most historically accurate we've examined in this class, I believe it was at least the most effective. It's errors, where they occur, are slight and do not detract from the telling of a historical event. After some of the ridiculous at portraying history we have seen throughout the semester, I am tremendously impressed by All The President's Men. I would have been tempted to watch it two or three times just in the last two days, mistakes significant enough to negatively effect the film's ability to tell it's story. As long as we take this story as a small piece of a greater event, this movie is incredible. - JT Newcomb | ||
