An Amazing Performance and Big Screen Biopic

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2019)

30 December 2004. Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn stands out as one of the best performances of all time - her acting and capture of the one of the greatest actresses is a tribute to both Hepburn and Blanchett - a strong contender for best actress. The Aviator also captures one of the most frightening and dramatic crash scenes (the literally bursts even further from the trailers). This intense and psychological and physically revealing movie is raw and hard-hitting. Leonardo offers up a spectacular breakthrough performance, maturing as an actor and taking on the more difficult job of method acting (having to become another person) and shed his own persona and his past historical performance from Titanic. Interestly, this movie isn't perfect in that unfortunately, this movie is only half a movie and is unable to offer its audience with the Godfather I and II effect that would make the movie experience complete.
