Frankly speaking, I don't really like movies in this genre, but it's undeniable that the movies are okay.
Hoover is admirable. He single-handedly created a powerful FBI. He has made great contributions to the stability of American society. His strengths and weaknesses are very prominent. We Chinese people should learn from this. We have always liked to create heroes, beautify them endlessly, and deify them. This is not good. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. A person. Having said that, Hoover's strengths are his management skills, his detective skills, his strength, his filial piety to his mother, and he is decent, and he has no lace news. . But overall, it's a strong man.
From the movie, the actors' performance is in place, Hollywood's makeup is really incredible, even the hands are made up very well, and the actors are very good at dealing with middle-aged and elderly people. Leonardo DiCaprio's acting goes a step further in this film, playing Hoover alive.
