J. Edgar (2011) - GOOD MOVIE
The story evolves around the life of Edgar Hoover (Leonardo Dicaprio),
who was the founder of the FBI. It shows his rise to power, and his
American dream to make this world a better place. Clint Eastwood did a wonderful
job at bring this amazing story to life. I loved
how the film paced back and forth (one moment comes to mind when they
enter the elevator old, and leave it young in a flashback). His
simplistic composition really added to the sadness and dramatic
elements of the film.
"J. Edgar" is a well-made, thought-provoking film. It handles the
public image of Hoover while giving us insight into his soul. The film
takes us through many decades at the different junctures of Hoover's
life. He left quite a legacy, but it's hard to say exactly who he
really was. Right or wrong, Clint Eastwood's film does a fine job of
putting the pieces of the puzzle known as J. Edgar Hoover together to
try to make sense of the FBI icon. I'm sure there are a few pieces missing, but are we not all flawed in
some way? "J. Edgar" tells it like it is.
Overall, J. Edgar is a good movie with a good cast and great
performances. This is a very well done movie. There were a few flaws;
the makeup used to age some of the characters was a little odd and not
convincing taking away from the movie.
