Storyline : American movie icon Clint Eastwood directs his 32nd feature film with a biopic of J. Edgar Hoover, the man who lead the FBI from 1924-1972. J. Edgar exhibits the same great period look he achieved in 2008’s Changeling along with the year’s best makeup. It also gives us cold joyless performances in a detached film that is hard to follow. It is currently playing in Roanoke at the Carmike 10, Valley View Grande 16, and the historic Grandin Theatre.
The overly ambitious screenplay by Dustin Lance Black gives us a movie that is broad in scope yet scant on details. It’s difficult to settle into the picture as the story jumps back and forth through time from the outset without a clean initial introduction to the title character. Over fifty years of our nation’s history are squeezed into the movie with most of the characters and events getting only a passing mention.
Those looking for the story of how the FBI came to be what it is today may be disappointed. J. Edgar focuses more on the personal life of Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) than the actual development of the bureau. This biopic presents a mother dominated, ruthless obsessive, and oddly repressed homosexual who finds a life companion in second-in-command Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer). He digs into the personal lives of those around him, keeps his findings in secret files, and has no compunction about using them whenever they can advance his agenda.
Yet the movie offers too little insight and investigation into what made Hoover this way and raises a lot of unanswered questions. Though it does not outright paint Hoover as a villain, neither does it praise his accomplishments. It offers a sad uninvolving peek into the life of a complicated and history making personality.
