Abstract

Clint Eastwood has emerged as one of the most important directors of the American commercial cinema. His work in 2011 on the life and work of J. Edgar Hoover obtained from the most acidic to the greatest compliments reviews. Eastwood constructs a biopic of the same way it did when he shot "Bird" in 1988, that is, with leaps forward and backward continuous history, and even backflips in previous flashbacks. Respond if this movie fits into the stylistic cinematography found in the illustrious filmmaker California.
