“A Wise Man is hungry for TRUTH, while the fool feeds on trash” … Proverbs 15
Last night I saw FROST/NIXON for the first time, years after Directing the premiere of “Nixon’s Nixon,” (then titled NIXON & KISSENGER) at the Circle Rep Theatre, in New York City, by masterful playwright, Russell Lees. For the most part, the film was as boring as a docudrama can be, when we forget, to educate, we must first entertain. Nonetheless, the last 30 minutes of the film was as moving and disturbing as the real events themselves, primarily because of the reminder of its prequel (The Assassinations of the 60’s) and its sequel, (the election of George W Bush & Dick Cheney – twice).
Needless to say, I wept deeply all over again, not for Nixon, despite Frank Langella’s brilliant portrayal of the Constitutional betrayer, but for America and all Americans everywhere, because for all of the hard lessons of Watergate, “We the People” still allowed the Bush League of Cheney, Rove et al, to once again drag us through the mud of treason, murder of our youth in Iraq & Afghanistan and a loss of our International integrity.
Despite the white wash of our history text books, we were never an innocent people, perfect in every way, but at least we wanted to be. At least, we were born out of an ideal of national brotherly love. At least, we dared to dream of leading the world by the very highest and best example of the Golden Rule. Yet, we stood by for eight years of a government steeped in secrets, lies and joint ventures of greed with corrupt banking institutions & corporations. Not even Watergate made us submit to that. We dethroned the villains then. Shouldn’t we at least imprison them now?
