Did You Know?

Trivia:
When J. Edgar Hoover and his mother leave the Strand Theatre following the premiere of 'G' Men, a theatre marquee across Times Square announces the Eltinge Follies. Julian Eltinge was a famous female impersonator and drag performer in the early 20th century and had his own theater on 42nd Street.

Goofs:
Anachronisms: Emma Goldman is interrogated in a scene early in the film, set in lower Manhattan in 1919 or 1920. Through a window, we see the Statue of Liberty to the right, and the Verrazano Narrows bridge to the left. This bridge was not built until the mid 1960s.

Quotes:
Harlan Fiske Stone: Lower the treble, son, you didn't call this meeting, I did.



User Review

Why?

Rating: 10/10

Why are there are these horrible reviews? I just saw this movie yesterday and it was utterly fantastic. I'm not the only one that thinks so. The theater was packed with people, mainly from adult to elderly but it was packed non the less. Everyone was clapping at the end of the movie.

"J. Edger" tells the story of how the man J. Edger Hoover came to power, and goes into his personal life. Clint Eastwood did a wonderful job at bring this amazing story to life, and his so score was beautiful too. Leonardo DiCabrio was unbelievable. I couldn't believe how fantastic he was. It was one of the best performances I personally have ever seen. If he dose not win an Oscar for this, it would be just terrible. Everyone else was great too, everyone. And guess what people, the makeup was FANTASTIC!

Why people are bashing this movie so much is beyond me. It's not for everyone I'll admit. It's for people with a brain who want to see a piece of art instead of some stupid film like the Immortals.
