The Aviator

When I read the initial reviews of this movie, the claim that Howard Hughes repeated himself seemed to be something of senility. I thought he simply repeated stories, or what not, of things that he didn't realize he had already talked about. When I actually watched the movie, I realized it wasn't that at all. It was a good move, a good movie, a good movie, a good movie, a good movie...

Howard Hughes was an obsessive-compulsive probably before that label really existed. He was so instilled with the fear of germs, that in "The Aviator" he waits until someone opens the door of a public restroom to sneak out and appears to anyone other than viewers still conscious of the movie as if the timing was coincidental.

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't really know how to restrain himself from intensity I don't think, at least it seems that way from what I've seen of him. He's always "King of the World", but yet he always pulls off any character he enacts convincingly and admirably, as he does in this movie.

Howard Hughes, as portrayed by Leo in "The Aviator", was a man who was overflowing with passion and simply inherited superfluous oil money that left him no other conundrum but what on earth to do with it. What he lacked was direction when it came to intimate relationships, which included affairs with Kathrine Hepburn, Jean Harlow, Ava Gardner,and even an underage aspiring young actress and lover (Kelli Garner as Faith Domerque). What to do with it all but become obsessed with germs? Who can't relate to that? Who can't relate to that? Who can't relate to that? Who cant relate to that? Who can't relate to that? Who can't relate to that? Doh!!
