[[WMG: Frost dreamed the phone call.]]
Late in the film, Frost is alone in his hotel room at night when Nixon calls him and rants in an unhinged manner. When they meet in person, Nixon can't remember the call. We're supposed to believe that Nixon's drunkenness was affecting his memory, but it's just as likely that Frost fell asleep and dreamed the whole thing. It would be less of a departure from the real-life events, and it would also explain why Nixon cared so much about Frost's past.
[[WMG: The film is set in an AlternateUniverse, and Nixon's phone call is the {{Point of Divergence}}]]
The film isn't relating {{real life}} events. Frost didn't nail Nixon in RealLife. The phone call was the first major departure from reality.
* He didn't? He certainly got him to say the same things on tv that he did in the movie...
** True, but it wasn't a "damning admission of guilt"--[[MagnificentBastard it was a carefully calculated PR move on Nixon's part.]]
[[WMG: The film was originally going to be BrokebackMountain, with political figures instead of cowboys before ExecutiveMeddling]]
Just look at the title dammit!
* In the extended dvd release this will still be the case
* At least it wasn't the *ahem* ''other'' type of [[UrineTrouble Slash]]. Although some people might like to see that...
