Anyone seen this movie before? I'm just curious what some thought of it

I thought it was a very good movie, but the way they portrayed Nixon as a nasty paranoid, haunted man was very surprising to me. I have no clue whether that aspect of his life is accurate or not, and you always have to take Oliver Stone movies with a grain of salt, but holy sh*t, I was not expecting this particular view on him. A very Bizarre man was portrayed in this film , to say the least.

    i thought it was excellent. anthony hopkins and joan allen, UNREAL! is it truly accurate depictions? who knows. i have heard that nixon was a very paranoid man, so i would think there's at least some seed of truthfulness to it. that said, it's a movie, and while based on real life people/events....artistic license is ever present.
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow

    Oliver Stone always takes his artistic license to the limit.
    "they don't give a shit Keith Moon is dead,
    is that exactly what I thought I read?"

    I've never seen the movie, so I don't know how he was portrayed; but considering his hippie spying program, secret tapes, enemies lists, Watergate, etc., I'd say he was a pretty paranoid guy.
