J Edgar is a film about who else but J Edgar Hoover. He was an infamous political figure who never became president, much to the relief of many people. He was a scary man, and a man whose story I will not tell the rest of because I really really really want you to see J Edgar. It's one of the best films of the year so far. Leonardo DiCaprio is absolutely brilliant in this film. DiCaprio plays both the old and young J Edgar, and it is pretty fantastic how he switches back and froth. Also, the film, for people who have not read up on J Edgar Hoover is an interesting history lesson. Actually, for people who have read up on J Edgar Hoover, this is also an interesting history lesson. J Edgar is also a film that, despite being over 2 hours long, flies by fast. This film is not one of those movies I wished was longer, however, but the running time is pretty perfect, making the film go by fast but also entertaining us and letting plenty happen in the story. J Edgar would have been a perfect film had it not been for just 1 or 2 scenes that just dragged a bit, but it is an excellent film, and one I think you should go check out. |
