This Hoover was the first director of the FBI, not the president of the United States mentioned in the history textbook. He seems to be more famous than that president. The director of the FBI has been sitting for 48 years and served 8 presidents. He holds the privacy secrets of every president, so every president dares not replace him; he has the obscene evidence of the black leader Martin Luther King; his own life is also unbearable, power lust, whitewashing, homosexual tendencies. The movie is a biopic, and it is more inclined to a romantic movie. The movie has two protagonists: Hoover and his deputy Tolson. They have feelings beyond gender and are inseparable. Other characters and events are very scattered. , the actress Nomi Watts also played soy sauce for two hours.

The problem with this book is that the Qi pulse is not smooth, there is almost no sense of rhythm and no details. In particular, Hoover's work scene and basic friendship scene are almost unrelated and cannot promote each other. Xiao Li's inner performance gives some tendency to motivate, a big bonus! However, he couldn't save any more. The role of the good friend Hammer is a coincidence, and he even performed Duval's feeling in the godfather in the details! But none of them can save Dongmu's mentality from getting old.

[J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson discuss over dinner about the first time they ever met]
Clyde Tolson: Edgar... you can lie to everyone else, the whole world, for you own sake... and for the sake of the bureau, but you cannot lie to me.
J. Edgar Hoover: I should've never given you your job, Clyde. You know that? You weren't even qualified. You remember the day you came in for your interview.
Clyde Tolson: I do.
J. Edgar Hoover: You walked into my office and you fixed my window, you picked up my handkerchief. You handed it to me. You remember why I was sweating, Clyde?
Clyde Tolson: It's because you were exercising.
J. Edgar Hoover: No, I was... I was sweating because I... I knew at that very moment...
[Clyde hands Hoover his handkerchief from the dinner table]
J. Edgar Hoover: ... I knew at that very moment that I... I needed you. And I've never needed anyone else in my entire life. Not like that. So I began to perspire.
Clyde Tolson: I know.
Clyde Tolson: [Edgar grabs for his stomach and gasps] Edgar, are you all right?
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes, yes it's - it's just indigestion, Clyde. Let's go to dinner tomorrow night, shall we? Our old corner booth.
Clyde Tolson: Perhaps if I feel better.
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes. And you must - you must. We have a great many things to discuss. And now I can't trust anyone else at the bureau right now. I can only depend on you.
Clyde Tolson: [Edgar walks up to Clyde and holds onto his hand, kissing is forehead] Thank you, Edgar.
J. Edgar Hoover: [Edgar leaves the handkerchief in Clyde's hand] Good night, Clyde.
Clyde Tolson: Good night, Edgar.
[Edgar walks off and Clyde holds Edgar's handkerchief to his cheek]

[J. Edgar Hoover arrives home to go to bed]
J. Edgar Hoover: [narrating] The very essence of our democracy is rooted in a belief in the worth of the individual. That life has meaning that transcends any man-made system, that love is the greatest force on earth... far more enduring than hatred or the unnatural divisions of mankind.
