Emotional drama

To be honest, I really think this is a romantic movie...

Although it does not rule out the actual brave and warrior figure like Richard III, but in Shakespeare's writing, the situation of retreating to hunchback and lame appears here; but watching this film does not Reminisce a little bit, Hoover's image in history and movies probably has this characteristic: hegemony.

It's so alone. Needless to say when I was young, when I was old and dying on the last night, when my old friend Tolson persuaded him to retreat from the torrent, why should they not agree with my achievements? , If you say this again, I want to doubt your loyalty to me!

Loyalty, alas. Decades ago, I couldn't bear it and only kissed him, and then followed you without complaint. When I arrived, I was questioned whether I was loyal. Tolson really tolerated, hearing such harsh words just repeated it in a cold voice, without any other complaints. In the end, it was Hoover who came back to his senses, not knowing if it was the first time, but it must be the last time that he gently kissed Tolson's forehead. In the next second, Tolson raised his head and answered "Thank you" in disbelief and emotion, so the female audiences were all heartbroken, and the gap was filled by honey...

How could this not be a romance? !

But to be honest, at the beginning of the movie, it was probably because the audience still had a new sense of the characters themselves, and they would think about many problems when they were taken by the movie. Hoover mentioned that if you want to expand the scope of the investigative bureau's capabilities, it will inevitably rely on the local procuratorial system. How are all the authorities willing to hand over the scope of their powers casually? It's not easy. First take the public figures who are least welcome by the procurator-general: court trials, judgments, and deportations. The east wind is here.

Therefore, it is obviously not unreasonable that the FBI has become one of the greatest investigative agencies in the 20th century. However, Tai Chi doing anything is a double-edged sword. Protecting the safety of citizens means controlling everyone's information, whether it is public or private. This is probably why Nixon’s first reaction after Hoover’s death in the ending credits was completely different from the deep sorrow expressed in the National Radio afterwards. Instead, he happily told his men: He was finally sent away! Hurry into his office and bring back those goddamn secret documents!

For this reason, how sad Hoover himself should be, I don't want to think about it anymore. He firmly believes that everything he has done is correct and just. Others probably never argued, and the only one who argued against him was Tolson, but it was difficult to get it right.

In the middle of the film, when the relationship between Hoover and Tolson was getting closer, the two and three women drank alcohol one day. Hoover was very upset about the invitation of one of the ladies to dance. After returning to the room, he complained to his mother (Sir Judy Dench are you going to act until when?!). His mother followed the temptation and finally told him that I would rather lose you than You have a strange sexual orientation.

That’s why there is such an emotional scene where the audience will be suffocated to death... It

must be said that Leonardo probably went for the Olympics, but he is really not the most brilliant in the film. people. The bright blue eyes of Tolson, played by Armie, can really speak, although the climax of the quarrel scene is still a bit obvious, so you need to practice more. The most comfortable thing is the role of Naomi Watts. Steady and down-to-earth, but actually full of emotions.

Finally, vomit, the good wife is really a good place for a veteran movie actor to make extra money. The informal judge Abernathy and the chief of the divorce case David Lee of L&G Law Firm all showed up, so I had a little drama when they showed up...

But all in all, it's worth looking at. But the point is really not at work, it’s in love and support..

    Compared with the recent IRON LADY, this biography is shot in a similar way, but it is more organized. Some reasons for the characters' characteristics are alluded to, which is also a screenwriter's skill. At the same time, I didn't forget to bury some HOOVER's private life. Not bad, worth a look.

    This movie should be based on base love drama as the main line! Dong Ye wanted to tell the poignant lifelong love between the two, and at the same time he was ambitious to describe Hoover's life. As a result, both sides had to take care of their hands and feet. The most terrible old makeup of the three people, like ghosts! The two zombies greeted each other there, and everyone laughed! The highlights are all in Amy Hammer, the smile is really good, Xiao Li has nothing to do, it is estimated that this time he will miss Oka again.

J. Edgar quotes

  • [J. Edgar Hoover arrives home to go to bed]

    J. Edgar Hoover: [narrating] The very essence of our democracy is rooted in a belief in the worth of the individual. That life has meaning that transcends any man-made system, that love is the greatest force on earth... far more enduring than hatred or the unnatural divisions of mankind.

  • [last lines]

    J. Edgar Hoover: Funny how even the dearest face will fade away in time, but most clearly I remember your eyes with a sort of teasing smile in them and the feeling of that soft spot just northeast of the corner of your mouth.
