Review of The Aviator (2004) by Ken S — 23 Feb 2014
Leonardo DiCaprio gives a great performance as the OCD-tortured millionaire Howard Hughes. The film is wonderfully shot, I especially like Scorsese's use of the two-tone color system earlier in the film.
It also has a good script...but what really makes it work is the fantastic performance of DiCaprio, who really sells the effects of OCD and how it hurts this outgoing showboating rich guy. You start to feel for this guy who has just about everything and seeing him just close off to the world.
It ends up being one of the better biopics I have seen.
