J. Edgar

Went to the cinema today to see this movie. Although I have seen it on the disc before, but watching it on the big screen, it feels very different.
Dongmu is really a young man of literature and art, trying hard to appreciate this "arbitrary oligarch" that he can hardly understand.
So, looking down, I feel that Hoover is an arrogant and lonely child in his eyes, poor man.

Xiao Li has actually made great progress.
Although Hoover is always bluffing, Xiao Li doesn't have the "hard" feeling he used to play.
Although the old-age makeup is not very good, I still forgot that he is "Little Li" when I look at it.
Although I don't know if he is "Hoover", after all, I don't know this old Hu very well, but I can understand the deep sense of insecurity, aggression, self-centeredness of this Hoover...

Tolson Saved him, and without his faithfulness (love is sometimes inexplicable) and company, Hoover would have turned into a mad monster.

Or in fact, in Dongmu's eyes, he is a monster.

    It doesn't feel right to look at it. Check it out, fuck me.

    The way of interspersed with flashbacks is good, and the portrayal of Hoover's complex character is relatively successful. It turns out that the penetration of GCZY in the United States began in the 1920s.

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.
