I don't know about Hoover, but after reading The Biography of Hoover, what I regret the most is not that the story is not exciting, that the characters are not full, or that the span is too messy, it is the makeup of the whole film! The aging makeup of Hoover and her boyfriend was a real failure. . It's even more disgusting than "Rejuvenation". Every time I see his handsome boyfriend turned into such a disgusting makeup, it makes me want to cry without tears. He is so elegant, loyal, affectionate and charming. what. I believe that even if the little charming is old, he should be elegant and handsome, not the effect of a lump of unleavened wrinkled dough in this movie, and he can't even open his eyes. . How I miss the way he looked at Hoover so fondly and gracefully in his youth. . Eliminating the mistakes of old-fashioned makeup, Clyde should give some consolation prizes, at least they should gain a lot of nympho fans!

[J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson discuss over dinner about the first time they ever met]
Clyde Tolson: Edgar... you can lie to everyone else, the whole world, for you own sake... and for the sake of the bureau, but you cannot lie to me.
J. Edgar Hoover: I should've never given you your job, Clyde. You know that? You weren't even qualified. You remember the day you came in for your interview.
Clyde Tolson: I do.
J. Edgar Hoover: You walked into my office and you fixed my window, you picked up my handkerchief. You handed it to me. You remember why I was sweating, Clyde?
Clyde Tolson: It's because you were exercising.
J. Edgar Hoover: No, I was... I was sweating because I... I knew at that very moment...
[Clyde hands Hoover his handkerchief from the dinner table]
J. Edgar Hoover: ... I knew at that very moment that I... I needed you. And I've never needed anyone else in my entire life. Not like that. So I began to perspire.
Clyde Tolson: I know.
Clyde Tolson: [Edgar grabs for his stomach and gasps] Edgar, are you all right?
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes, yes it's - it's just indigestion, Clyde. Let's go to dinner tomorrow night, shall we? Our old corner booth.
Clyde Tolson: Perhaps if I feel better.
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes. And you must - you must. We have a great many things to discuss. And now I can't trust anyone else at the bureau right now. I can only depend on you.
Clyde Tolson: [Edgar walks up to Clyde and holds onto his hand, kissing is forehead] Thank you, Edgar.
J. Edgar Hoover: [Edgar leaves the handkerchief in Clyde's hand] Good night, Clyde.
Clyde Tolson: Good night, Edgar.
[Edgar walks off and Clyde holds Edgar's handkerchief to his cheek]

[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.
