Frost/Nixon: Difference between revisions

* [[Big Fancy House]]: La Casa Pacifica.

* [[Expecting Someone Taller]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]]. Upon seeing Nixon in person, Reston declares he's taller than he'd imagined. This is because Frank Langella, who plays Nixon, is about five inches taller than the President.

* [[Golden Snitch]]: Due to the necessity of creating more tension for the dramatization. Unlike what happened in real life, Nixon is in control for three of the four interviews, but Frost's success with the last one determines the whole outcome. There is [[Lampshade Hanging]] of this done by the [[Narrator]].

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Richard Nixon attempts to do this to Frost with a late night phone call, but as his drunken ramblings progress, all his [[Not So Different]] lines only end up revealing how broken and full of self-loathing he is. Frost doesn't even need to say [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]- he now knows that all he needs to do is corner Nixon and the man will destroy himself.
