Oliver Stone was the director of the 1995 film Nixon, which starred Kevin Spacey in the role of Richard Nixon, who served as the 37th President of the United States. The movie received positive reviews from both critics and audiences alike, and it made more than $40 million at the box office.However, the title of the film did not do as well in Hong Kong, where it was translated to The Big Liar, where it did not fare as well.
This was probably owing to the fact that Nixon had a very poor reputation in Hong Kong due to the fact that he was considered as a symbol of American imperialism by the people there.The Watergate crisis, in which Richard Nixon was accused of lying to the American public about his role in the break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters, is referred to in the title of the film The Big Liar, which is a reference to the incident. In the end, Nixon decided to step down from his presidency in 1974, becoming the only president in the history of the United States to do so.
