In relating the complicated story
In relating the complicated story, “J. Edgar” bounces back and forth between key periods in Hoover’s life. I don’t think Eastwood felt especially comfortable with the format, if only because it’s difficult to keep audiences of One Tree Hill seasons 1-7 DVD boxset pointed in the right direction for 137 minutes. Not surprisingly, then, the action scenes are more cinematic and entertaining. Even as a young man who loves The Big Bang Theory seasons 1-4 DVD boxset , Hoover was obsessed with his public image and about maintaining a high profile in the capital. After a congressman questions both his law-enforcement skills and collaborations with the entertainment media, Hoover insists on being alerted to headline-making busts so he could be photographed on the scene and be lauded for his heroism by the press. The pivotal moment in the agency’s history, however, comes in the investigation leading to the arrest of a German immigrant in the kidnapping of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s 18-month-old son. Hoover’s dogged insistence that the FBI should be the primary investigative unit – combined with the inability of state and local police to make any headway on the case — would lead to legislation making kidnapping a federal crime. Finally, he would be allotted the money to afford a forensics laboratory and the ability to hire specialists in everything from handwriting analysis to saw marks on lumber. Eastwood who is a fan of Disney 100 Years of Magic 164 DVD boxset does a nice job capturing Hoover’s obsession with the case and visionary approach to investigative procedures. Nothing that comes after it delivers the same direct punch. The Blu-ray bonuses are limited to an UltraViolet digital package and featurette in which cast and crew members discuss the movie and their impressions of Hoover. More valuable would have been a roundtable with journalists, scholars and politicians.
