embarrassed hoover

The English title of the film is "J. Edgar", which is a bit different.

But for Lord Hoover to come out of the closet unabashedly, there is less subtle beauty. After all, Hoover and Tolson have a lot of scenes in the movie, and their affection is only in a love letter expressed through eavesdropping. It's touching, and the rest of the action scenes are a bit funny.

The most infuriating thing should be the actors' old-fashioned costumes, their muscles are stiff, and they are terrible.

Alas, DiCaprio's figurine is dead. It was embarrassing to see the two of them looking at each other, how could there be any tenderness towards Rose at the beginning.

J. Edgar quotes

  • [J. Edgar Hoover meets the child actress, Shirley Temple, at the movie house in front of reporters]

    Reporter: Miss Temple!

    Shirley Temple: Mr. Hoover, I was wondering if you would join my police force.

    J. Edgar Hoover: Why, yes, Miss Temple. If you agree to be an honorary G-Woman and give me one little kiss.

    Shirley Temple: I don't know if your wife would approve, Mr. Hoover.

    J. Edgar Hoover: But, you see, I still live with my mother.

    [both chuckle]

    Shirley Temple: Oh, Okay!

    [Miss Temple kisses him on the cheek under the flash of cameras]

  • [later in the night Annie Hoover passes away, Edgar is alone in his bedroom and wakes up to grab his rosary]

    Annie Hoover: [in the air he hears his mothers voice] Stay strong, Edgar.

    [Edgar then goes to the mirror as his mother helped teach him to, to get over his childhood stutter, holding out and dressing into his mothers shirt]

    Annie Hoover: [again in the air Edgar hears his mothers voice] You stay strong, Edgar.

    J. Edgar Hoover: [Edgar screams out and tears apart his rosary in a frantic shiver] Stay strong! Uhh!

    [Edgar finally collapses in tears and curls himself in a ball]
