Actors: Al Pacino | Russell Crowe | Christopher Plummer | Diane Venora | Philip Baker Hall | Lindsay Crouse | Debi Mazar | Stephen Tobolowsky | Colm Feore | Bruce McGill | Gina Gershon | Michael Gambon | Rip Torn | Lynne Thigpen | Hallie Kate Eisenberg
Tratto da un "caso" giudiziario di questi anni, il film racconta dell'incontro fra Jeffrey Wigand, dirigente di una importante compagnia di produzione del tabacco, e Lowell Bergman, produttore del famoso rotocalco televisivo '60 minutes'. Wigand è stato licenziato perchè dissente dalle politiche aziendali ed è convinto dal producer a testimoniare contro i suoi ex-padroni in una causa che dimostri il potere assuefativo della nicotina, cosa su cui si fondano le strategie di vendita delle aziende del tabacco. La CBS, proprietaria del network televisivo, decide all'ultimo momento di non trasmettere l'intervista, per timore di eventuali azioni legali da parte delle industrie del tabacco. Ma Bergman non si arrende e torna alla carica sulla carta stampata. Il caso finisce al Congresso americano che, nell'autunno del 1999, ratifica un accordo col quale i produttori di sigarette dovranno indennizzare gli stati che hanno fatto loro causa con la cifra di 246 miliardi di dollari. Questa la storia reale, ed anche quella del film.

Secret Honor (1984)

16 Feb 2010 07:31
Secret HonorGenres: Drama
Countries: USA
Directors: Robert Altman
Actors: Philip Baker Hall
In this speculative one-man drama, we see former President Richard Milhous Nixon alone in his study, dictating his thoughts into a tape recorder. His only company are a four-screen closed-circuit TV setup, the portraits on the walls, a bottle of Chivas Regal - and a loaded pistol. At times addressing an imaginary judge in a court of public opinion, at other times speaking to an aide named Roberto, and sometimes just talking to himself, the former chief executive reflects, in a series of meandering monologues, on his humble Quaker upbringing, his school days, his family and a political career that reached all the way to the White House. Nixon rails at his treatment by the likes of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the "goddam Kennedys," J. Edgar Hoover, Henry Kissinger, Jews, liberals, the media, "East Coast shits," among others, as he leads up to the "true" reasons for the Watergate scandal that resulted in his resignation - an act he regards as one of "secret honor."
