Rivele, Christopher Wilkinson and Stone, and Score for John Williams), Nixon takes a riveting look at a complex man who became the first American president to resign, due to the threat of impeachment and his involvement in conspiracy jeopardizing the nation’s security.

And you can only watch them through Amazon's proprietary players. But now on to the movie...One thing about the Nixon administration is that We have so much of the tapes to rely on for dialogue that it's must be incredibly useful when writing a script, producing a movie, learning lines etc...Of course the vast majority of the Nixon tapes never made it public as the movie points out but there's still many many hours for which a filmmaker can lean on.Not to say Stone is always relying on factual events. There's definitely some speculation especially in the uncut version where there is a completely made up conversation with the CIA director. I mean this doesn't bother me too much, it was not nearly as egregious as the JFK movie (which I also like but there's definitely some questionable embellishments in the narrative I think).Anthony Hopkins is kind of an odd choice but it works well. He doesn't really look like Nixon and they don't try too hard to make them look like him which I think is appropriate. The clothing and the dialogue and the mannerisms are great, but the face it doesn't look the same and I don't think prosthetics would have been useful.But I don't think you pass up on casting Hopkins for that reason and he deserved awards for this. As did the person playing his wife. The makeup and costumes and sets are incredibly realistic. The casting is amazing in terms of looking like their counterparts (with the exception of Nixon which as I said I'm willing to live with).It's a shame when you buy the digital version there is no special features because there is a commentary from Oliver Stone out there. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Probably Stone's best political drama, In a great Blu-Ray edition *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2009* The Film:Let me say right now by way of disclosure: I love Oliver Stone films. I don't think he's the "conspiracy nut" he's often painted as. I do think he is a biased historian. He has an ideological axe to grind, especially insofar as American politics are concerned. But it's easy enough to detect and set aside (if you want to), and nonetheless he is a stunningly talented filmmaker."Nixon" presents probably the best of Stone's "presidential" films (JFK, Nixon, W.). It contains a spectacular performance by its principal character (Anthony Hopkins), and a great set of supporting players, as per usual in Stone's films (particular standouts include Bob Hoskins as J. Edgar Hoover, James Woods as Bob Haldeman, Paul Sorvino as Henry Kissinger, and Joan Allen as Pat Nixon). Hopkins does something amazing - without directly aping every little thing about Nixon, he portrays the inner Nixon so well that he ends up replacing the original in the mind of the viewer, to the point that when at the end Stone shows us the real Nixon's farewell helicopter ride, it is phenomenally bizarre to see someone else as Nixon.Stone weaves a story of Nixon as a sympathetic, troubled, perennially downtrodden little guy who claws his way into power through tenacity, dirty tricks, perseverance, and canny manipulation of current events. Nixon is a man who has the highest aspirations of power, and is brought to the lowest possible point through his own frailties, paranoia, and personal demons. Stone at once makes him sympathetic and demonic.I think Stone is a humanist, and a person who is seeking the truth. His humanism puts him at odds with those who would use mass populations as pawns and destroy vast populations for policy objectives - but it also drives him to seek what is human in these sorts of manipulators. He seeks to tell the truth - the human truth - of the events and the times he focuses on. He uses different kinds of footage, and compresses times and conversations, creating montages, almost collages, of images and words that evoke the spirit of a time."Nixon" may well be Stone at his best in this art of collage film-making. It is utterly absorbing, despite its 3.5 hour heft, to anyone who enjoys deep character drama, and of course any political history aficionado.The Blu-Ray:At its best, this HD transfer presents images of amazing detail. Certain scenes show incredible facial detail, with pores, whiskers, fine lines, and the like shown in pristine clarity. But, as with many Stone film, detail is often obscured by intentional choices on his part - so many types of video sources are used, from 35mm to 8mm, TV broadcasts, all kinds of material with all different levels of inherent detail. This Blu-Ray displays them all probably as well as they'll ever be displayed. Whatever grain is inherent in the source image is always faithfully presented, never scrubbed away by excessive DNR. So, no, this is not a transfer you'll want to choose to really blow away a viewer with "HD" quality (try Stone's "Alexander" for that). But it's faithful, and as the film works on you for its 3.5 hours, I think most viewers will appreciate it.Audio is an uncompressed Dolby Digital 5.1ch mix. It does a fine job presenting the sometimes booming soundscape Stone employs with all of his complex cuts from dialogue scenes to documentary shots and pictures of war. Dialogue is never drowned out, and John Williams' score comes through very nicely.Stone has recorded two commentaries for the film, one dealing with the movie-making end of things, one dealing with the political backdrop of the age. Both are entertaining, as per usual with Stone commentaries. Sometimes there are gaps (heh heh), but when he is speaking he is always lucid and informative.The second disc has a wealth of extras. 58 minutes of deleted scenes (more like 30, when you cut out Stone's explanations and the contextual bits of the actual film) are presented in 480p. Most of them have been reintegrated into the director's cut on the main disc however. So this is more interesting for Stone's intro than anything else. A 35-minute HD documentary by Sean Stone is the new item here, collecting many big-wigs discussing the pros and cons of the film. An hour-long Charlie Rose interview with Stone presents a deep and occasionally tense conversation between a master interviewer and a master filmmaker. Overall, it's a pretty good slate of extras.**********If you're a fan of Stone and you have a Blu-Ray player, you need this disc, pure and simple. It's an essential part of any Oliver Stone collection.Fans of biopics should give this a hard look, too. This may not be a movie for those who dig Vin Diesel movies (not that there's anything wrong with that).For my part, it's something I watch every year or two. It rewards multiple viewings in the way that dense Oliver Stone films can. With this Blu-Ray edition, I now have the best possible video quality and a great set of extras. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Informative *by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024* Decent --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/112196656-nixon-special-edition-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/112196656-nixon-special-edition-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
