Care to elaborate? Never heard of this movie.

[philstar22]

I didn't see the movie. However, Hoover was a really awful human being in real life. So if the movie portrayed him as positively then I probably agree with this secret.

[(Anonymous)]

^ Word.

[leisuretime]

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I recall it portraying him as extremely flawed, which makes him sympathetic/tragic in a "things didn't have to be this way" sort of way.

[philstar22]

But he wasn't just extremely flawed. He was genuinely awful. The way he acted towards the Civil Rights Movement was genuinely horrifying. And there is a lot of strong evidence (enough so a civil court awarded the family money) that he was involved in the murder of Martin Luther King Jr.

[leisuretime]

OK? I'm not really in a position to judge whether you'd find the portrayal palatable, I just remember thinking it was a good movie.

Hoover cut his teeth early... he got Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman deported from the United States in 1919 (along with 247 other immigrant radicals). Nasty piece of work he was.

[leisuretime]

I thought it was a good movie with a great performance from Leonardo DiCaprio.

[(Anonymous)]

I watched it for the gay.

[(Anonymous)]

Not gonna lie, me too but it was pretty weird and disappointing in that aspect.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man, if you can overlook Hoover's RL awfulness and just view him as the movie presents, it' such a tragic gay love story. I love it. Which probably sound weird.

[(Anonymous)]

Same.

*confused*

[(Anonymous)]

This is such a weird secret. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than to remind (or inform) people that this film exists. Which... kind of runs counter to the supposed heart of the secret?

Re: *confused*

[leisuretime]

Ditto, actually. Haven't thought of this movie in years, but I might rewatch it now.
