All the President's men  

By Isabella Robles  
 
This will definitely involve you trying to jam your typewriter 
in so be prepared to experience drama, mystery and a 
series of conflict while watching this movie.  
This film is intriguing to many viewers as watching two 
advanced journalists trying to solve the mystery of the 
Watergate scandal. In 1972 the political conflict became an 
issue for the presidential elections causing a break-in into 
the Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate 
apartment-office complex in Washington D.C. And after 
congressional hearings, in the resignation of President 
Nixon in 1974 this became a major issue for the people.  
“All the President's men”  
Is a perfect movie to watch for those interested in mysteries 
or detective thinking. It definitely gets your brain going and 
makes the viewers interested in the solution to the 
Watergate scandal. The main actors do a great job of 
portraying the emotion needed to make the story come to 
life. The human values that were included in the movie were 
moving and expressive towards the topic. The ratings 
about this film are underrated. There was some blurry 
moments due to the camera work and the ending of the 
movie wasn’t a full recap or a solution . The final ending 
didn’t satisfy the questions a person might have, the 
presidential elections along with the the burglar arrest 
remained unanswered. Five men were arrested and found 
with burglary tools, cameras, film and three-pen sized tear 
gas guns, but no actual ending to the journalist part of the 
movie was reasoned or reached. Luckily no one in the film 
or the actual historical event were hurt but some votes may 
have been tampered with. It was even more shocking to find 
out that one of the five men was James W. McCord, a 
security coordinator for the Republican National 
Committee and the Committee for the Re-election of the 
next United States President.  
Overall this film was a great two hours of my time but I 
would of liked a real ending. I would most recommend this 
to people who like to solve problems, my thoughts on this 
particular movie are a success and a great piece of 
cinematography.
