Excellente!

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2005)

I recently saw the Aviator and was riveted by the attention to detail in this film. Leonardo DiCaprio WAS Howard Hughes. He brought an unbelievable amount of reality to this character and rightfully so because he was portraying a legend. You can feel with him as he suffers through hardships, this is so hard to do when you are portraying someone in history. Cate Blanchett, *sigh*. Excellent work. Katherine Hepburn was almost a caricature herself so being her is probably one of the most challenging roles that will ever be attempted. I also loved the minor and supporting actors/actresses in this movie. The only thing that really didn't sink with me was Alec Baldwin's performance, maybe cause he was a villain I have yet to figure out why I didn't get his character in this... Alan Alda, I don't even have to say anything... I love the man! Please see this movie but go to the bathroom before cause it's a long one!
