Movie Notes, Not a Review

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>If there is a flaw in this film,
it's too many to count: a dizzying montage of
zombie-like old men's makeup
, procrastinating clips ... … >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> But the delicate plot is also memorable. When his mother died, Hoover used a cross-dress to miss his mother's appearance as lonely and helpless. He hoped that pure feelings would support him. Clyde appeared in front of his eyes like an angel covered in light. When the title of "Ms Gandy" became "Helen", it was like going back 48 years. Strength, paranoia, and desire for control have all turned into heavy makeup that faints under tears. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fragments about Hoover Paranoid insistence, lifelong pursuit of defending America but at the same time, vanity, good face montage like a bat Flickering on the main spool of the movie, all kinds of lies and debunking , even love needs to be covered up with kindness - "I didn't sweat because of sports, but because the moment I saw you, I knew I needed you" > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    I wanted to play Samsung with the director. I went home and looked at Xiao Li on the wall. I really love him, so let's add stars. There are too many things to tell, but it weakens the original story. In fact, whether it is a case, a friend, or even an Oedipus plot, you can tell it separately. What's more, Dongmu, a tough guy, really didn't take a good picture of homosexuality, and his lines were slightly ridiculous. After putting on makeup, Xiao Li and Jiyou felt that they couldn't make facial expressions anymore.

J. Edgar quotes

  • [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.
