"The All the President's Men" A sublime journalistic spirit imprinted with the passion of young The Journalist

Top-notch acting ensemble by top-class actors

In ``All the President's Men,'' the story progresses mostly by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein calling their interview subjects or visiting their homes to listen to their stories. There's no flashy action or dazzling romance. Artistically, it is a very plain piece of work. Therefore, the actors are required to perform realistically.

Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman actually attended a Washington Post meeting to prepare for their roles. By observing the lifestyle of The Journalist, the character gradually develops. Furthermore, the two of them completely input not only their own lines but also the other person's lines. During filming, he purposely included lines that were not his part, creating a sense of tension in the play and giving the work an extraordinary sense of reality.

The supporting characters are also made up of veteran actors. Jason Robards plays the role of editor-in-chief Ben Bradlee with great dignity. The article that Woodward and Bernstein had written with such painstaking effort was coldly declared, ``It's impossible (to write a front-page article),'' and ``Get some proof,'' while others said, ``Two people (in a predicament)... Don't give up on me,'' he says, a very passionate line. Isn't he the best boss?

Jason Robards read the script and decided, ``We need to make sure that the editor-in-chief's presence is always felt in the movie.'' Even on days when he didn't have a scene to appear in, he would come to the set and read a book in the set office even though he wasn't in the scene. It's an episode where you can't help but feel the spirit of the actor. Robards won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. The following year, he won his second consecutive Best Supporting Actor award for his role as Dashiell Hammett in Julia (1977).

Gin Ibushi, who co-starred in `` 12 Angry Men '' (1957), will be joining the cast, with Jack Warden playing the role of Social Affairs Director Howard Rosenfeld and Martin Balsam playing the role of Editor-in-Chief Howard Simmons. Hal Holbrook, known for his role as Lt. Briggs in Dirty Harry 2 (1973), was chosen to play the mysterious informant Deep Throat.

The two young All the President's Men Men'' are supported by veteran actors, which dramatically increases the intensity of the drama.
