J. Edgar

FBI Director Edgar Hoover (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), who is over seventy years old, was invited by "Criminal Records" to dictate his personal memoirs. Hoover told the ghostwriter of his memoirs his important life journey since 1919: arresting left-wing leaders, arresting notorious gang leaders, solving the Lindbergh kidnapping that shocked the United States, and so on. According to Hoover's account, he defied all opposition, reorganized the FBI, introduced high-tech investigative methods, and devoted himself to the peace and stability of American society. On the other hand, his private life has become the part he tries to hide.
Even as Hoover looks back on his life, there are still many turbulent factors in American society. Hoover's long-appointed personal assistant Clyde Tolson (Army Hammer) also seems to have an unusual relationship with him...

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]
