behind the rights

Not an extreme patriot though. But the crusade against the Party at the beginning of the film is really unbearable. Uncle Lai's acting is the highlight.

Young Hoover was also timid and stuttered when nervous. Strive to overcome your gay tendencies. mother's expectations. Ignore my father's disappointment. All kinds of people feel distressed.

However, teenagers can always find solace elsewhere! such as power and honor. This is where Hoover is most confident. He never stutters in this regard.

Hoover's success was that he went the right way. Use technology to fight crime.
His failure is in life. Gay tendencies have made him never happy with Sex and Love. He knew it, but he couldn't resist. Just avoid it. His love for his mother is palpable. However, his attitude towards his father also showed his confusion and contempt for his father's dementia. It also reflects his typical image of a power chaser. Believe in strength and despise cowardice.

Emotional scenes are always sub-lines throughout the film. Follow the looming display of the story's bus.
Hoover put on his mother's clothes. The moment you put on the necklace. Are you missing your mother? Are you still questioning your gay identity? Uncle Lai's eyes were appraised with grief and anger, but what was Hoover's heart like? I'm afraid it's been hidden for a lifetime. Even he himself has no way of knowing.

Behind the successful power man lies a bleak personal life.

  • [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.
