high-ranking official who has experienced 8 presidents (sounds like an old minister like the "four dynasties" in the dynasty era), the founder of a secret police agency that controls the most powerful, in the movie He is portrayed as a famous old man, a frustrated boy who can't handle a small secretary, a good baby who always hangs with his mother, even a transvestite, a gay who has a lifelong infatuation with his deputy. In the capacity of Clint Eastwood, he can really despise the so-called "taboo for His Holiness". He made a real documentary, not a biography of merit.

Hoover should be the most traditional conservative, opposed to everything traditional white people oppose, and never mind how dirty he is. It is not so much that the 8 presidents respect him, but that all presidents fear him. How many stories are hidden behind the pieces of paper torn by his secretary that will take 50 years to be revealed or will never be known?

    It's not so much a biography of a political figure, it's more a same-sex love movie. What should have been a big book has become an embellishment, and what should have been a one-off but added a lot of color, a movie without a theme.

    Compared with the recent IRON LADY, this biography is shot in a similar way, but it is more organized. Some reasons for the characters' characteristics are alluded to, which is also a screenwriter's skill. At the same time, I didn't forget to bury some HOOVER's private life. Not bad, worth a look.
