I truly leaned about J. Edgar as I watched the movie and now see what an important role he played in American history. A flawed man, aren’t we all? But he sure dedicated his entire life to the FBI. Plus his idea about fingerprinting…what an amazing idea that serves well. I think it is best to get away from too much stress on his personal life. He made indelible contributions to our nation and to fighting crime. What he did in his personal life is his business

I did find myself wondering how great a film Tim Burton could make with this character, a la "Ed Wood." It would certainly be more entertaining than Eastwood's film.

And how about if they just started out the movie with J. Edgar in a dress, instead of making people wait 'til the end?
