Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2011 Biopic of the first and most infamous director of the FBI, John Edgar Hoover, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Told in a memoir-style narration, the narrative hops backwards and forwards in time from Hoover's time as a minor lawyer in the Department of Justice to the end of his life. It addresses such topics as the growth of power and influence of the FBI, the use and abuse of power, and the assorted scandals and rumors surrounding Hoover's life. The film initially received lukewarm critical reviews.Stars Leonardo diCaprio in the title role; Armie Hammer as the assistant director and lifelong companion of Hoover, Clyde Tolson; Naomi Watts as Helen Gandy, Hoover's Secretary, and Judi Dench as Anna Marie Hoover, J.Edgar's mother. | |

Arch-Enemy: The personal hatred J Edgar has for Robert Kennedy is so intense that Kennedy pretty much fills this role. | |

Ambiguously Gay: The film paints Hoover in this light, showing him having trouble and uncomfortableness attempting to have relationships with women (which leads to the below incidents listed under Gayngst and Bury Your Gays), having some slight subconscious feminine tendencies, and, perhaps most obviously, him and Tolson having some clear sexual tension between the two of them; one late scene starts with the two of them fighting and ends with them making out. | |
