Biographical films like this are boring in my opinion.
But the last 20 minutes of the movie really moved me.
Excellent acting by Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer.
The later life of J.Edgar Hoover and Mr. Tolson is vividly portrayed.
Mainly mentioned in the details.
Eyes, hand movements, hunchback, etc.
Let's talk about the script first.
I like this narrative.
Interspersed narrative.
Towards the end Mr. Tolson also pointed out that a lot of Hoover's biography was untrue.
All of a sudden, the whole character of J.Edgar Hoover becomes angular.
No great person is perfect.
Only to show that human beings themselves are not perfect.
This movie is close to "perfect".
Personally, I have always disliked such dark tones.
I feel like I can't see anything clearly.
But because of the plot.
The tone echoes the film itself.
Reflect the darkness of the whole era.
All in all, this is a movie worth watching.
The cast is also strong.
