Despite 3 Days of the Condor being one of my favorite films, I never got around to watching All The President’s Men until a couple days ago.
My god, what I’ve been missing.
It’s truly a masterclass in film making. It’s a slow burn, but never feels it. There’s always something interesting happening, some new piece of information revealed, tension always building, and acting so damned good I didn’t move from the sofa until the end.
There’s some really impressive cinematography in this, but something that consistently impressed me was the level of acting of even minor or unnamed side characters, who do virtually as good of a job as the leads in feeling absolutely believable and natural.
If, like me, you just haven’t gotten around to this film, I really recommend making it your next watch.
The Pluto link asks me to enable DRM to watch it (which I didn’t try), but the Bitchute upload is not encoded, and works fine for me in a slightly hardened Librewolf browser. Does the Bitchute link not load for you?
The bit chute link got censored so I couldn’t see it (try viewing the page), but I eventually figured out what it was. I’m not much of a movie buff so I didn’t try to watch it by myself. I’ll try to watch it with the friend that I mentioned sometime. Thanks for the links!
Another great movie in a somewhat similar mood is Z by Costa-Gavras, with Yves Montand. I’ve probably seen that one 5 times.
Added: lol, bit chute didn’t get censored because of its possible complicity with unauthorized uploads. It’s because the first five letters are sometimes used as a sexist slur. Sheesh.
Added 2: I tried viewing the video and it works fine, it’s pretty low res but I’m not bothered by that. I only watched the beginning of the opening credits though, so maybe there are problems later. The other one of the series is Klute? I’ll put that on my list too.
