Time for a New Nixon Film?
There are new discoveries that show Nixon was far worse then depicted, in his shadowy actions that still reverberate today.
His culture of mistrust, paranoia, and secrecy. Warmongering, insecurities, and brash decisions. Pandering to anyone who would give him power, prestige, feeling of self-worth. Any of this ring a bell to politicians and actions of today?
His Southern strategy and furthering of racism after the advancements of the 1960's. Is still being felt today where the Republican party became the home to many white nationalists, which perhaps is why some drumpf like Trump is the parties frontrunner...in the year 2016!
Its also been known from the releasing of LBJ's tapes, that Nixon deliberately sabotaged the 1968 peace talks in Paris in order for him to get elected president and eventually credit (and admiration) for ending the war. This was treason and also a war crime for all the dead in the 1970's continuation of the war. The genocide going on in other countries after everything was toppled, and the quick pull out of American troops without some restoration of some type of governments.
This is what is known and can be find with a few minutes of research. I bet a seasoned director could dig up more, since this man had some graveyards of skeletons. So how bout a darker, modern Nixon film that showed the man his true colors. And that should serve as a warning that we can never let a man like that as president again.
Picks to play him: Mark Rylance, Gary Oldman, Gary Sinise, ?
