Dedicated and Colourful, didn't move me an inch

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2007)

Scorcese was, until the creation of "The Departed", the black sheep of the Oscars. In "The Aviator", Scorcese delivers an outstanding carnival of eccentric clothings, fresh visual tones, and sly filmography scenes. Seeing the movie, one utterly is deviated into the majestic scenario of powerful dresses, settings, decorations that the focus on Howard Hughes is sometimes lost. Di Caprio applies fabulously to his work, so does Cate Blanchett and Alan Alda. There is a gigantic cast; which will fascinate you with the presence of stars. The luxury and excess of the movie is the contrast that sharpens the grey and unmoving story of Hughes. We like his story, we understand his fall but it doesn't emotionally move us. Scorcese has derogated into a path of visual content and left aside unpolished the strength of what meant to be a great biopic.
