An American young man with an extreme passion and a sense of mission to destroy the Bolsheviks also has an extreme desire for power. Having a social barrier and being a homosexual who was severely spurned by his mother could not be a normal person. Distorted mind, depressed personality, all the "blessings" are reflected in the enthusiasm for the cause. This is the only movie I've watched Xiao Li so far, the only one I didn't think he was handsome, even in his youth. But it is very textured. From speech to action, he is a character with a strong sense of presence. Even the sloppy figure in "Blood Diamond" and the embarrassment in "Shutter Island" will still be electrocuted by the wrinkles between the eyebrows, but this Not once, so I have to give him a thumbs up for that alone.
In addition to Hoover's brain seeds that dare to break through the imagination, and dare to create various conditions just to achieve the ideal neuroticism, homosexuality is of course also an important point of view. There is only one positive scene in the movie, which Clyde gnaws at. The emotions are in place and the performance is full of blood. However, there is a little bit of bedding ahead, so the intense scene broke out suddenly enough. In retrospect, it was nothing more than that the two exchanged ambiguous glances a few times, and once held each other's hands. But no matter what, being gay can only aggravate Hoover's personal tragedy, not to mention the fact that he and the person he needs just stay together.
Hoover is a very dark person, at least that's how the movie shows him, and the movies are mostly dominated by shadows, darkness, dim yellow, etc. After watching it, there is a sense of heaviness, just like history is history, good and bad can only always be Leave it to later generations to dispute.
