Today in theatre we were supposed to watch All The President's Men, but unfortunately it was not brought in. So we spent some time learning about what happened before this movie occurred. The largest event before this movie was the Watergate Scandal when Nixon sent people to the Watergate Hotel to try and spy on the other party by planting listening devices. But the ones who were sent were caught, and Nixon was accused of doing it. Of course he denied. And I'm pretty sure now this is where the movie takes place. But since we didn't get to watch any of the movie, I'm really not that sure. So we started watching Catch Me If You Can to try and get the basics of doing a movie analysis. I learned to try and ask as many questions as possible and stay lookout for every little detail, even the opening credits. And to make note of certain words or phrases constantly repeated.
