Now I am not talking specifically about OCD, but some people do rejoice at the fact they suffer from it. The Aviator talks beautifully about the guy who pioneered aviation. His actions, through THIS film, will set a role.
Leonardo DiCaprio is a maverick. His Oscar loss is the brightest example of flawed judgment. The way he lives as Hughes in this biopic is beyond anyone's skill or repertoire. And his interpretation of OCD, coupled with startling agony is one of the many genius antics he does and amuses in this film. With a beaming supporting cast and very-well written plot, the film advances good in the first hour. Then as the camera focuses on the personality & his disorders & thoughts, the screenplay quite makes it boring at two or three nodes. And although it has nothing to do with the 170 minute run-time, the dullness is the only bad thing about it.
With complementing music and apt direction for such a biopic, Martin Scorsese proves that he is one of the phenomenal directors of all time. I just love his topic-driven films and The Aviator is no different. Just, the editing & polishing could've been better. Awesome cinematography & clever use of CGI.
BOTTOM LINE: A well-written, inspirational film. highly Recommended!
