This movie was full of so much propaganda and shows how crooked the FBI was coming up into power. The fact that they had the Elite Families at the front of their protection and were labeling others as extremist should have you all thinking about today with what's going on. The same staged show with bombings. If that scene really did happen at the beginning who really did it. Who could come up with a plan so perfect and then put blame on the very ones they were suppose be helping?
@itsTimmyH Be nice. All he did was state his age to say that even a teenage boy can appreciate the quality of this movie.. You were bothered enough by him thinking people would care to be mean and put him down. Who cares if no one cares... Oh that's right, you do.
Look, not to break any hearts or anything, but just 'cause a person "goes on living" is no reason to "mythologize" their life, alright? Particularly NOT if it's at the cost of many, many other folks having their "narratives" broken so there's hardly anything left to cobble together, even inwardly ...
I mean, what's next: a movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman playing Karl Rove? Sheesh! Enough's enough!
leo done a good job yes ,but j edgar was a racist bastard,who hated anything black,also what amazed me about this man,was he himself was BLACK, who passed himself for white, a lot of mixed race people did that back in the day,his mother had an affair with a mixed race man,and he was the end product ,her husband raised him has his own ,that racist knew he was black and was ashamed of it ,its a pity that wasnt portrayed anyway, check out his family on you tube
Good movie and great actor (Leo) but this movie reminds me a lot of Citizen Kane.. its not that original.. But there is not doubt on my mind that Leo can get the Oscar
@patriotsmakemesick There are some parts where Edgar shows affection to his assistant, who is a male. It isn't even that bad, there aren't any sex scenes involving the two and it's just small things like holding hands and crap.
Clint Eastwood is like 82. Has there been a director whose ever done anything like the roll he's on the last 10 years with Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima, Changeling, Gran Torino, Invictus and last year's overlooked Hereafter? Simply amazing output in the twilight of his career.
Tonight 11/11/11 On the French Connection Radio show.
Check out AdrenalineRadio for more information 6-7 PM PST. Leo is talking about the role of J Edgar and the difficulties in portraying a character over 5 decades.
We are also talking about what its like to work with the great Clint Eastwood.
Yes, keep handing out Oscars to this over-the-top melodramatic crap. The guy plays his parts the same way in every movie he's been in, save for "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and in every one, he is horrible. Another American historical figure for DiCaprio to try out with all the acting skill of a 3rd grader.
Ladies, you might somehow find him sexy, but I'm positive it has nothing to do with any kind of talent.
@AmericanWarfare Yes, that's right. You don't agree with me, so start calling me names. That's the mark of true intelligence. I gave you my opinion. Do you have an actual opinion, or will you just sit there and rant?
To answer your question, every movie I've seen him in (the number of which has dwindled over the years) has become less of a good thing simply because I don't believe this "actor" has any talent worth mentioning. The exception is "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"-he was great in that.
J Edgar Hoover was an egotistical, homophobic, racist who was allowed to run the FBI for far too many years. It was only after he died that the world found out that he himself was a homosexual. How fitting that a man in such a powerful position as he, was a hardcore homophobe. I can't wait to see this movie and I hope that it's a true and honest depiction of this scumbag!
@musclen2phat they haven't proven yet he is a homosexual. Some people think his partner may have been the man in this preview who he appointed second in command, basically.
I was watching The Walking Dead last week, when this came on. I saw Clint Eastwood and I was like 0.0. Then I saw Leonardo DiCaprio and I was like O.O and then I pooped my pants.
@tonycns LOL. Do you think Leo is going to win an Oscar for this role? I was hoping Ryan Gosling would win for The Ides of March..that movie was good too. I havent seen this one yet but I will soon (hope its good). :)
this guy was so f***ing weird and he was the most powerful guy in dc and maybe the country and then someone took a photo of him havin anal sex with some guy
@nmbodnar - apparently, you aren't aware that the Lincoln film hasn't even finished filming, and this one is being released in a few weeks. Pretty silly comment.
@TheSammie2508 Sinceramente creo que ya demostraba un talento inmenso cuando tuvo su primer papel protagónico junto a Robert De Niro en "This boy's life", luego quedó encadenado a la figura de galán con "Titanic" pero supo lidiar con esa errónea etiqueta que le pusieron al aceptar diferentes roles y confirmar el gran actor que es. Sin dudas uno de los mejores de nuestra era.
excited for this movie in every way except for the fact that dustin lance black wrote it. that fuck will prolly fill it full of j edgars possible homosexuality when thats only a fraction of the truly interesting character that is j edgar hoover
Leonardo DeCaprio. Naomi Watts. Judy Dench. Jeffrey Donovan. Dustin Lance Black. Clint Eastwood. Hell, this is all you need to make an excellent film.
this will surely win the bald statuette for DiCaprio at the moment biopics are the most poulare for awards consideration last three years Colin Firth, Jeff Bridges, Sean Penn, Christian Bale, Christoph Waltz all these guys either played real people or characters that have been based off real people
i thought he deserved an oscar for blood diamond and the departed hopefully he gets one for this one of my favourite actors ever and hes only getting started
Im not sure about this. DiCaprio looking like an old man, but acting like a young? His voice is way to innocent. He doesn't sound like a man who's gone through the stuff the real J Edgar went through. I still think he will do a good job, but it just feels strange.
Leonardo Dicaprio is ridiculously good actor, just from his accent at at the start u can tell he will act good in this movie haha and its directed by one of my fave directors clint eastwood, this is oscar worthy already

DiCaprio is almost photorealistic as 40-year old Hoover, he's definitely locked up for Oscar nomination just like PSH as Capote or Bale for Ecklund.
But Leo has too much biopics in his career, first Hughes, now Hoover, and on iMDB list has announced project about Jordan Belfort and even Teddy Roosevelt.
i use to hate leo back in the day thats all i heard about from my sister since i saw the beach and watched him progress as an actor i love the guy. very underrated
When dealing with a character as complex and long-running as J. Edgar Hoover you need more than 120 minutes. Eastwood should have made the movie in parts--like Soderbergh's "Che". I agree with halfassstudios. I also don't buy DiCaprio for the title role. He's such a passionate actor and Hoover was notorious for his pedantism and rigidness.
Sadly, I predict another box office failure for Dirty Harry. He's had a bad year to otherwise exceptional track record.
I can already see the nominations: Clint Eastwood for Best Director, Best Actor for Leonardo Dicaprio, Best Supporting Actor for Arnie Hammer, Best Original Screenplay, Best Make-up (I could see the Make-up on Leo's face was perfect, and who knows what else nominations. But that's just what I think.
@cinemapsycho91 Brad Pitt, Moneyball...seriously!? Goddddd let's pray it isn't so...I don't think he deserves to be nominated for that film...but of course he's Brad Pitt, let's nominate him for every movie he's in, it's becoming unnecessary overkill. As far as Ryan Gosling for Drive, I just can't picture why that would be taken as a role that should be nominated, seems like a good time at the theater...either way, I bet your predictions will be nearly if not spot on.
@missym877 Well, you know, Brad Pitt doesn't get the credit he deserves for his acting ability. He is more versatile than people think he is. There are a lot of people out there who see him as just a sex symbol, which is totally not true. But overall, it is your opinion. With that being said, I am in no position, or most of all, mood, to argue your opinion. So, go ahead with your bad self.
@cinemapsycho91 haha look I'm not saying Brad Pitt is a bad actor, I just don't believe for his particular role in Moneyball, it deserves a nomination. Sure he is definitely underrated in some aspects but he does not need to be nominated for every role, it's my personal opinion that the Academy no longer takes great care in who they nominate, it seems like everyone & anyone can get nominated & win...I think George Clooney is a good actor, but does he need to be nominated for every role he's in
@cinemapsycho91 haha look I'm not saying Brad Pitt is a bad actor, I just don't believe for his particular role in Moneyball, it deserves a nomination.

I think George Clooney is a good actor, but does he need to be nominated for every role he's in?
@cinemapsycho91 I doubt Mel Gibson will be nominated, because of his personal life. Besides, they've never nominated him for acting before, so why start now?
I don't feel like they're trying to show him in a positive light I think they're trying to show how he did all of these terrible things in a way to hide his troubled personal life. And to show the other side of him all history books tell us is of his evil deeds and I'll admit I don't like the guy but I think this movie is a good idea to show what he hid from everyone.
They are making a movie about a racist cross dressing fiend who used illegal subterfuge to wipe out black leaders. Sign me up...to spit in the faces of Clint Eastwood and the fuckers that are trying to show this racist fucker in a positive light.
@ikonoklastification you didn' even watch the film yet. Clint Eastwood usually leaves the decision to the viewer, he doesn't try to push interpretation to any particular direction.
They is not one shred of historical evidence to prove that J Edgar Hoover was homosexual but the movie makers just had to go with it. It's nothing but a rumor started by his many detractors decades ago and it persists today.
@DJRustyBridges Gran Torino was a great film. You probably just didn't understand it

When dealing with a character as complex and long-running as J. Edgar Hoover you need more than 120 minutes. Eastwood should have made the movie in parts--like Soderbergh's "Che". I agree with halfassstudios. I also don't buy DiCaprio for the title role. He's such a passionate actor and Hoover was notorious for his pedantism and rigidness.
Sadly, I predict another box office failure for Dirty Harry. He's had a bad year to otherwise exceptional track record.

I can already see the nominations: Clint Eastwood for Best Director, Best Actor for Leonardo Dicaprio, Best Supporting Actor for Arnie Hammer, Best Original Screenplay, Best Make-up (I could see the Make-up on Leo's face was perfect, and who knows what else nominations. But that's just what I think.

@cinemapsycho91 Add Gary Oldman for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He was incredible in it, so hopefully he'll FINALLY get a nomination for it.

@cinemapsycho91 Brad Pitt, Moneyball...seriously!? Goddddd let's pray it isn't so...I don't think he deserves to be nominated for that film...but of course he's Brad Pitt, let's nominate him for every movie he's in, it's becoming unnecessary overkill. As far as Ryan Gosling for Drive, I just can't picture why that would be taken as a role that should be nominated, seems like a good time at the theater...either way, I bet your predictions will be nearly if not spot on.

@missym877 Well, you know, Brad Pitt doesn't get the credit he deserves for his acting ability. He is more versatile than people think he is. There are a lot of people out there who see him as just a sex symbol, which is totally not true. But overall, it is your opinion. With that being said, I am in no position, or most of all, mood, to argue your opinion. So, go ahead with your bad self.

@cinemapsycho91 haha look I'm not saying Brad Pitt is a bad actor, I just don't believe for his particular role in Moneyball, it deserves a nomination. Sure he is definitely underrated in some aspects but he does not need to be nominated for every role, it's my personal opinion that the Academy no longer takes great care in who they nominate, it seems like everyone & anyone can get nominated & win...I think George Clooney is a good actor, but does he need to be nominated for every role he's in

@cinemapsycho91 but like you said this is my opinion, and you have yours.

@missym877 Exactly...

@cinemapsycho91 I doubt Mel Gibson will be nominated, because of his personal life. Besides, they've never nominated him for acting before, so why start now?

I don't feel like they're trying to show him in a positive light I think they're trying to show how he did all of these terrible things in a way to hide his troubled personal life. And to show the other side of him all history books tell us is of his evil deeds and I'll admit I don't like the guy but I think this movie is a good idea to show what he hid from everyone.

They are making a movie about a racist cross dressing fiend who used illegal subterfuge to wipe out black leaders. Sign me up...to spit in the faces of Clint Eastwood and the fuckers that are trying to show this racist fucker in a positive light.

@ikonoklastification you didn' even watch the film yet. Clint Eastwood usually leaves the decision to the viewer, he doesn't try to push interpretation to any particular direction.

@ikonoklastification Ironically, Hoover was considered a mixed-race child and lived in southeast DC.

How anyone could make a movie casting this detestable human being in a positive light is beyond me.

Hollywood has a clear conflict of interest and has NO place making a movie about a man they neither understand or respect.

They is not one shred of historical evidence to prove that J Edgar Hoover was homosexual but the movie makers just had to go with it. It's nothing but a rumor started by his many detractors decades ago and it persists today.
