Like Melissa and Kelly brought up, I did not like how "All the President's Men" portrayed Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as the sole investigators of the Watergate Scandal. In reality, there were many others on the case, such as Roger Wilkins, a former Washington Post reporter who recently spoke at UMW and also shared in the Pulitzer Prize for their fantastic journalism. However, like Kelly stated, the movie would not have been as dramatic if all of the lowly players were involved like "Reel History" mentioned. Also, in the very beginning of the movie, only one man was pictured doing surveillance across the street during the Watergate break in, when there were actually two. --Anna Holman | Like Melissa and Kelly brought up, I did not like how "All the President's Men" portrayed Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as the sole investigators of the Watergate Scandal.

| + | Did Woodward actually meet Deep Throat in a parking garage in the middle of the night? When this movie was made, they did not know who Deep Throat was, so maybe they did not know much about him. -- Justine R. | ||
