J. Edgar was shown in a dress in the movie. The movie seemed to suggest that Hoover was gay.
Overall, the movie was good and a lot better than some films I have seen recently.
Incidently, the film also insinuates that Hoover couldn't blackmail Roosevlelt with a suggestive letter from his wife to her lesbian lover, because Roosevelt knew about the relationship, and was cool with it. It also has a wiretap of President Kennedy having sex with "as East German Communist," and AG Bobby Kennedy more interested persuing Martin Luther King than further prosecution of Communist infiltrators.
Look, it is high time people on this website come to terms with the fact that libertarians and conservatives are different KINDS of Republicans. Federal law enforcement is not popular among libertarians.
As the son of a retired FBI agent, I am glad I did not see this movie with my father, as we originally planned. I am going to to him and my mother into seeing the Margaret Thatcher biopic instead. Maybe it will get into her alleged affair with Ronald Reagan.
I don’t buy the concept of Hoover as a flaming homosexual. If he was a homosexual, he kept it under wraps.
Those stories about him going to cocktail parties in drag and engaging in widely attended group orgies are horse hooey, in my opinion.
It is a standard slander by the left who claim to love homosexuality, yet use it as their favorite malediction against anyone who disagrees with them.
Saw this movie tonight. Complete F A I L.
I enjoyed the movie
