What is the movie J. Edgar about?
We all know the legend Clint Eastwood and his shooting skills in old western movies with cowboys and indians. Today, we get to see his directing skills, because this time, he is the one behind the camera. And he made sure to get his hands on the best actors ever for his piece- Leonardo DiCaprio, Josh Hamilton, Judi Dench, Naomi Watts, and lots of others. Today, he is telling the story of man called J.Edgar. It starts with getting to know the old J.Edgar Hoover, as he prepares to tell his life story. And then we get glimpse into the past, where we see a young Edgar who started fighting against Communists, anarchists and lots of other thieves in the US at the time. Over the course of time he built his career and made his agency one of the best ones out there, ready to take down any criminal. And he wasn't alone in that. His companion and partner, his right hand was Clyde Tolson, who was soon promoted to Assistant Director of the Agency. J Edgar has made this Agency involved in every case he could get his hands on, from the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby to the investigation in the John Dillinger robbery. It was all very helpful to the FBI, there is no doubt. But as the truth about his secret files and sniffing into private details comes out, he stands on a trial for every single thing he's done. And this movie character couldn't be better portrayed that Leonardo Di Caprio has done.
