Do I kill everything that I love?

Ordinary colleagues called him John, those close to him called him Edgar, and he was better known by the Hoover surname. This is John Edgar Hoover, a controversial figure in the United States in the last century and the current name of the FBI headquarters building.
In 1924, before the age of 30, Hoover became the director of the official U.S. secret service, then called The Bureau of Investigation (BOI). Although not widely recognized for his actions against the communists, his successful...

"Hoover"

Biopics are generally not easy to shoot, and often fall into the circle of straightforward narrative, especially the part involving historical politics. Hoover, a controversial figure, his iron wrist, power, and Oedipus, and the love of the foundation are in sharp contrast. People with strong appearance and sharp words usually have low emotional intelligence, or because of some weak places inside, they need a hard shell to arm themselves from being hurt. The film would be even more dull if it...

The look of "Hoover"

I watched this movie very tired, and the reason is very simple - due to the lack of sufficient understanding of the characters and historical events in the film, I basically watched the movie while Baidu, and I watched the 130-minute movie for three and a half hours.
Let’s talk about the advantages first:
the structure of the film is very good, with a time span of 50 years, but the plot is very simple, just select a few major events in Hoover’s life: Kennedy’s assassination, Martin...

Only a dialectical creative attitude is worthy of a biographical film

Biopics have always been one of the hardest forms of film to direct and act, let alone biographies of such a mixed character.
Dealing with the keywords of politics, emotion, justice and lies, it is even more difficult to use the minute unit to enrich and enrich a vivid and once real character. Personally, I think the creations of Xiao Li and Eastwood are actually very good. From the point of view of film and art, it is very democratic and objective. Although it is inevitable that some...

embarrassed hoover

The English title of the film is "J. Edgar", which is a bit different.

But for Lord Hoover to come out of the closet unabashedly, there is less subtle beauty. After all, Hoover and Tolson have a lot of scenes in the movie, and their affection is only in a love letter expressed through eavesdropping. It's touching, and the rest of the action scenes are a bit funny.

The most infuriating thing should be the actors' old-fashioned costumes, their muscles are stiff, and they are...

I thought it was a political film, but it turned out to be a romance... The highlight was the outburst of Armie...

The plot of the story is disorganized and fragmented, and the quality of the works of the old man has declined a bit in recent years. The old-age makeup of several protagonists is indeed terrifying, completely different from Iron Maiden. Xiao Li's performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory. It's just a performance in his true colors. If he wants to win the best actor, I'm afraid he still needs to work...
