At the end of the film, "Director: Clint Eastwood" on the screen is the best illustration of the style of the film. The old man is still very nostalgic. Looking at "The Banner of the Fathers" and "Toilet Paper from Iwo Jima", Director I is indeed very persistent.
It is worth mentioning that DiCaprio, "J Edgar" and "The Aviator" are obviously not at the same level. When actors act in biopics, many times the control is not in the performance, but in how attractive the characters are. J. Edgar Hoover, there are two honors, one is forty-eight years of conscientiousness, and the other is the heart of citizens (American citizens). The charm of DiCaprio in the film also depends on "Hoover". The magic is that he can't see that he is performing. He is simply Hoover himself. Here's the problem. Hoover was first a lie-maker, secondly suspected of being gay, and thirdly a racist. These three points are all key issues that can change one's attitude toward a person.
Looking back at Armie Hammer, it was a bonus after a stroke. There was nothing missing from the Parkinson's posture and Alzheimer's-like eyes. Among the female characters, Hoover's mother is still in place.
There is a hero in everyone's heart. What happens when a hero encounters a lie? J. Edgar Hoover crossed moral lines many times, which made it even harder to tell the purpose of the film, whether it was a biopic, a drama about life, or a critique of Hoover's morals piece.
And what is behind the hero? Single, room full of hero statues, an old mother. Over and over again, I have lived my entire life by the admonition of "more flowers wither, be strong". By the way, Hoover also had some mental illnesses, manifested in language barriers. These all show that Hoover is lonely. Is loneliness a necessary quality for a hero? Hoover was lonely enough to transfer his emotions to Clyde, and he said the name "Clyde" countless times that said it all.
But these emotions are abnormal and cannot fill the void in the soul. Another quality of a hero comes into play—the ability to strip emotion from thought when needed, leaving only a purely dedicated career pursuit. So we admire and admire them for standing firm and guiding the direction. Who knew they had to sacrifice their lives to fulfill their divine mission.
There is a shortcoming - the mainland may not be able to release it.
