I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

A lot of fun.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is a distinctly odd and downbeat biopic about a man who concocted a half-baked plan to kill President Nixon in 1974. Except that it isn't really about this at all. Despite the title and the fact that this event is all that the central character is famous for, the movie is actually about what it was that drove him to such a desperate and insane plan of action. Consequently, The Assassination of Richard Nixon is a psychological drama about a fragile man, unable to cope with his society.Sam Bicke is a failure in all aspects of his life. His wife has left him, while at work his boss looks down on him. He hates his job as a salesman in any case, as he is unable to embrace the requirement for lying in order to close a deal. As a result he tries to set up his own business - a mobile tire shop - using a small business program set up by President Nixon. When he tries to get financing he is self-destructively honest about his business ethics and the deal falls down. His application for finance is rejected and he starts to think that the President himself is ultimately to blame for this society of crooks. Hence, his mad endeavour to assassinate him.Bicke seems almost like an alien in his culture, unable to connect with people and not understanding the harsh realities of life. His idealism seems incredibly naive. The film examines why this attitude is considered so ridiculous though. I suppose it holds up a looking glass at the audience to ask why a man who only wants to be honest with others seems so strange and ridiculous. It's a very drab world that Bicke inhabits, reinforced by the beige washed out colours that seem to be everywhere. It's, therefore, a commendably uncommercial offering and is very much in a lower key. Although, there is room for the occasional moment of funny comedy, such as the scene where Bicke visits the headquarters of The Black Panthers and witlessly tries to join, suggesting they should rename themselves as 'The Zebras' in order to increase their membership by attracting disenfranchised white people such as himself.Sean Penn is outstanding in the complex and unglamorous role of Bicke. He is in every scene and he really convinces as the downtrodden man. It's really a testament to the brilliance of Penn's acting that he can pull of roles so completely different and disappear into them. The film itself is a definite success, albeit a bit of a downer.

Based on the true story of Sam Bicke (Sean Penn), a deeply troubled man who in 1974 planned to assassinate U.S President Richard Nixon by hijacking a plane and flying it into the White House. Niels Muller's brave post 9/11 film delves deep into Sam's world to reveal a tormented soul struggling with a wayward perspective on life. Sam wants to live the American dream, but is constantly derailed by his own inability to function within conventional parameters. Sam sees injustice everywhere and it spills over so much as to damage the key relationships in his life. In many ways,and not just by name, Sam is reminiscent of the self destructive Travis Bickle from Martin Scorcese's 'Taxi Diver'. Bickle's warped perspective and one man mission to make a stand against the system is echoed all the more by the 70′s period and political backdrop. Sean Penn is sensational as Sam, provoking feelings of pity as he's taunted by his boss and shunned by his estranged wife, yet also manages to perfectly capture the essence of a man on the fringes of sanity with frightening accuracy. Penn is well supported by a trio of fine performances from Don Cheadle, Naomi Watts and Jack Thompson. Knowing nothing about the real life events, i found myself drawn fully into this unsettling story of a paranoid delusional man. Everything from script, direction to acting is fully top notch and although it could never achieve the classic cult status of Taxi Driver, it stands strong as a first rate character piece.

The modern Taxi Driver.If this film had been released in the 70s alongside Taxi Driver and the likes of Coppola's The Conversation, it would have been much more acclaimed. Sadly, this one is now lost among the last decade of indie dramas, high-concept blockbusters and Sean Penn's two Oscar winning performances. His best work though, is here, as Sam Bicke. He's incredibly powerful, essentially carrying the film on his shoulders. He's in every single scene and there wasn't one time I looked away from the screen. There are several incredibly powerful moments but his breakdown at work ("It's about money Dick! Money!") is just staggering. Don Cheadle and Naomi Watts are also good in well written but obvious roles. The direction by Mueller is also brilliant, perfectly creating a feeling of isolation and failure. We feel like we're in the same position with Bicke, an outsider looking in on a world prepared to lie and back-stab in order to get to the top. The cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki (Y Tu Mama Tambien, The New World) is also brilliant and has the same effect, creating a dark world for its inhabitants. Finally the structure of the script along with the exemplary editing by Jay Cassidy creates a feeling of repetition - the endless cycle of day to day life that leads Bicke to his actions. A haunting, masterful drama, a modern masterpiece and successor and superior to Taxi Driver.

Being a huge fan of Sean Penn's performances ('Milk', 'Mystic River' etc) and more specifically '21 Grams' starring Penn and Naomi Watts I picked this film up with high expectations purely on the premise of Penn and Watts reunited on screen, needless to say, it does not disappoint! The film has the rare accolade of being set several decades earlier (1974) in the middle of the Nixon regime, yet still containing themes that are just as relevant in 2010; Racism, Power Struggles, Terrorism (particularly post 9/11, although ironically the film was being scripted before this).Focusing on 'average-Joe' salesman Samuel Bicke (Penn) the film focuses on one man's despairing breakdown as he searches for 'a little piece of the American dream'. Bicke goes through a series of jobs and is a failing salesman due to his strong morals in equality and honesty.The cinematography is fantastic, as Bicke becomes more and more disillusioned the camera shows an increasing number of extreme close ups, serving to highlight the mental disintegration Bicke is going through. The score throughout is also chilling and works seamlessly with the mannerisms of Bicke against the backdrop of several close ups of President Nixon on the TV representing everything Bicke has come to hate. The editing is also superbly paced, speeding up as Bicke becomes more and more despondent with the world around him and we reach the harrowing final scene.It is a testament to the incredible talent of Penn that whilst his characters actions would stereotype him as a traditional villain you are left feeling nothing but empathy for Bicke and will be questioning your own notions of morality long after the credits role, even more so with the irony that such is Bicke's desire to support his family that he is dishonest on more than one occasion in his desire to provide for those closest to him. Naomi Watts is equally brilliant as his ex wife and as usual Don Cheadle is superb as a friend, 'a grain of sand' as Bicke would say who accepts the world for what it is. There is also a fantastic performance by Bicke's boss, Jack Thompson.If you are a fan of thought provoking cinema then 'The Assassination Of Richard Nixon' is an absolute must see. Having only seen this film recently and on the back of watching both '21 Grams' and 'Milk' (of which Penn is simply superb in both) I don't believe it is to presumptuous to go as far as asking where Penn may be the greatest actor of his generation? This is definitely a film to watch again and again, and yet each time you do it raises more questions. The film has been a likened to 'Taxi Driver', released in the same period as Nixon is set and much like the success of that film I can see this one being just as highly thought of thirty years from now.
