Take whatever offense you want with the story, but the acting and production was incredible. Jesus. Early in his career, I hated DiCaprio, but the dude is a BAMF.

That being said, I'd imagine the story turned most people off. But I found it interesting. I absolutely love that era in history. Love it. Yeah, JEH was a wack job, but as a period piece about a wack job, it was pretty good.
I tried to watch it but couldn't get into it, much like "Goodnight and Good Luck". I own both and just can't get past about 30 minutes of either.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I can really see that. It is not plot driven, it is absolutely character driven, and it is very difficult to connect to J Edgar Hoover. But that era of history kept me intrigued.

It is a great movie. I find myself watching it everytime it's on HBO. I'll probably check out a good bio on him and read it.

That's what I'm thinking. I'd love to know more about him. Not because I hold him in some overly utopian view of him as a hero or something. But because he's an interesting character.
