Film- J. Edgar

J. Edgar is a biopic narrated by Hoover as he tells the story of his life in the FBI force.

I watched this film, it was a very long film though interesting too. What I liked about this film was the way it switched from the past to the future without any indication such as text across the screen saying 'Few years later'. It mainly just used the character's appearances to tell the viewer which tense it was in. 
The film switched from elderly Hoover to the younger one. There was some nice scenes cut together such as when Hoover in his old age enters the elevator with his work colleague and best friend, then the  elevator doors close and re-open with Hoover and his partner with their younger self. 

Generally the way the story was told and presented was good and the narration helped to give insight to what Hoover was thinking during certain moments of his life took place.
