i loved seeing the history play out on screen in oliver stone’s 3.5 hour nixon biopic, and the directorial choices and great character work kept it interesting throughout.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
