I definitely agree with LeAnn, the only moment of competitive tension was at the very beginning of the film. Woodward left a draft of his article which Bernstein promptly went forward to correct. Afterward, they seem like fairly good pals on a mission. Was there a little bit of hollywood flair in the potential violence aimed at the reporters?--[[User:Bakhtinjali|Bakhtinjali]] 19:25, 1 December 2010 (MST) | I definitely agree with LeAnn, the only moment of competitive tension was at the very beginning of the film.

| + | I thought that a major problem with the film was that it portrayed Woodward and Bernstein as the lone forces facing the Nixon administration. Though their editor played a minor role, there were no other major players that were searching for the truth in the Watergate story. As we saw in class, several different people played key roles in the entire process that eventually led to Nixon's downfall, like the Judge John Sirica and the lead prosecutor, but that is not really seen in the film. -Melissa | ||
