J. Edgar

Slovenski opis filma:

V filmu spremljamo biografsko zgodbo J. Edgarja Hooverja, razvpitega direktorja ameriškega FBI-ja, ki je s svojo čudaško osebnostjo, kontroverznimi metodami za preprečevanje zločina in drugih moralno spornih dejanja skoraj 50 let buril duhove ameriške javnosti. S pomočjo svoje zveste tajnice Helen Grady je J. Edgar ne le stopil na prste nekaterim najbolj razvpitim zločincem svojega časa, temveč si je na podlagi skrivnih dosjejev, ki jih je imel o njih, dovolil tudi na veliko manipulirati z raznimi političnimi veljaki.

Originalni opis filma:

Biopic of J. Edgar Hoover told by Hoover as he recalls his career for a biography. Early in his career, Hoover fixated on Communists, anarchists and any other revolutionary taking action against the U.S. government. He slowly builds the agency's reputation, becoming the sole arbiter of who gets hired and fired. One of his hires is Clyde Tolson who is quickly promoted to Assistant Director and would be Hoover's confidant and companion for the rest of Hoover's life. Hoover's memories have him playing a greater role in the many high profile cases the FBI was involved in - the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the arrest of bank robbers like John Dillinger - and also show him to be quite adept at manipulating the various politicians he's worked with over his career, thanks in large part to his secret files.
