In fact, I have never been optimistic about DiCaprio. Poor young and famous handsome guy. His films before Hoover's Biography are full of a strong commercial atmosphere. When the major movie stars make money following the trend of business, only the DiCaprio has been struggling to get closer to the power faction. In addition, his deputy is indeed a handsome guy, especially the sexy lips make it difficult to pick out better words to admire, and his acting skills after old age are also very realistic, he is likely to be a Hollywood superstar in the next five years.
The director of Clint Eastwood, so the narrative of the film is quite good, it is very effective to link the events of Hoover's life together, and reflects the character characteristics of the characters through some small things, and has more ink on Hoover and his assistants. . Although Hoover fought against communism for most of his life, he can see some qualities of some communists in him, authoritarian but accurate and efficient. The belief in freedom he dictated before the film ends reminds me of a fanatical believer.
Compared to the Iron Lady, the heroine of this year's Oscars, I don't know how much better this film is. Compared with the director's skill, which is also a celebrity biography, Hoover is more mysterious than Mrs Thatcher. I feel that in the narrative, the character Hoover is much more detailed and real than Mrs. Thatcher. From this, the director's skill is revealed, and the naturalness of time switching is also more natural than that of Iron Lady.
The only downside is the make-up. The protagonist's Hoover's make-up is in place, but the supporting characters are not so in place, and their emotional expression is slightly worse, but the actor's body language in the later stage more covers up this deficiency.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the clothes and the details of the clothes, from Hoover's close-fitting in his youth, gradually loosened in middle age, and became slightly tight in his later years. In place, which is why I admire the actors.
4 stars for the actor, 5 stars for the director, 4 stars for the soundtrack, 5 stars for the costume, and 4 stars for the make-up. Generally speaking, it is a good film that Hollywood has not seen in ten years. It is a pity that the pure American blood has met the American-French hybrid artist. The Golden Globes was a sigh of relief.
Last but not least, the kiss at the Racecourse Hotel and the kiss on the forehead at the last table are really touching.
