Marty's Direction and Cate's Acting in its bests.

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2020)

Howard Hughes was one of the richest man in his time, a prominent film producer, record setting pilot, engineer and above all a business magnate, who also suffer from Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In this biopic Leonardo DiCaprio plays Hughes, in his youth with all his passion, dedication, craziness and eccentricity. He is so daring that the movie is as much a thriller as it is a drama.
And there we see another beautiful collaboration forming up with Scorsese and DiCaprio.
Let me take some words to say about the brilliant Oscar and SAG winning performance by Cate Blanchett. She plays a real life actress who was known for her unconventional off screen life. Now acting is one thing and acting an actor is a whole another thing and not just any, but the greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema, Katharine Hepburn herself. For a 3 hour long movie she had such a short screen time but she was simply stunning with her mannerisms replicating Hepburn.
Scorsese designed each year in this movie to look just the way a color movie from that time period would look. Seeing it for the second time was even more enthralling and made me adore the mastercrafter even more. This is clearly one of the best directed movies i have seen of any directors. Scorsese earned his 5th Oscar, 6th Golden Globe and 6th DGA nominations with this film.
Nominated for 11 Oscars and winning 5, the highest number of nominations and win on 2005 Oscar, 14 BAFTA nominations and 4 wins including Best Picture, 6 Golden Globe nominations and 3 wins including Best Picture and Lead Actor, this is
