Review of The Aviator (2004) by Alvin T — 15 Jan 2012

Leo and Martin at their best, may not be of Goodfellas that kind of level.

But this Howard Hughes epic is a great look into the tycoon's person life, his struggles, his rise and his fall. Leo is incredible as Howard Hughes, he gives Hughes a powerful image, but still able to show a side og Hughes that is fragile and need reaching, making audience to feel sympathy for a psycho is hard, yo?

Of course, the whole movie is about a man and his time of living, and Scorsese is able to insert some nice political bits, and since its a period piece, Scorsese surely knows best, when he generously insert the process of how Hughes makes his ambitious Hell's Angel, and how Hughes tries to convince the film censorship board to allow more exposure of boobs in movies, it just fun looking back at Hollywood in that era.

Verdict: Leo is good, the atmosphere is good, the movie is damn good.
