关于此电影

During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protect his country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize. Hoover was a man who placed great value on secrets—particularly those of others—and was not afraid to use that information to exert authority over the leading figures in the nation. Understanding that knowledge is power and fear poses opportunity, he used both to gain unprecedented influence and to build a reputation that was both formidable and untouchable.

评分和评价

In a sense a history of America across the twentieth century, seen through the eyes, the challenges and the passions of one person who shaped and was shaped by the events and the attitudes of the day. The relationships are beautifully acted. Fascinating.

For me it was a really great movie, its touching and informative. Its great for people who love biographies. Would recommend it to anyone.

Sorry I liked it. A bit long. Excellent acting.
