PAIS Film Club: J. Edgar (2012). Introduced by Jules WillieMS.01The PAIS Film Club continues on Monday November 18th, MS0.1, 7pm J. EDGAR (2012) - Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover, famous Director of the FBI Introduced by Jules Willie Linked to introduction to Politics and World Politics but open to all students and staff Biopic of J. Edgar Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) told by Hoover as he recalls his career for a biography. Early in his career, Hoover fixated on Communists, anarchists and any other revolutionary taking action against the U.S. government. He slowly builds the agency's reputation, becoming the sole arbiter of who gets hired and fired. One of his hires is Clyde Tolson who is quickly promoted to Assistant Director and would be Hoover's confidant and companion for the rest of Hoover's life. Hoover's memories have him playing a greater role in the many high profile cases the FBI was involved in - the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the arrest of bank robbers like John Dillinger - and also show him to be quite adept at manipulating the various politicians he's worked with over his career, thanks in large part to his secret files.
