one of my personal favourite films of the 2000's

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2020)

Not only is this one of the best films of the 2000's it is also one of my favourite movies ever made (if you check my top 55 movies list). Now this isn't a film you'll pop in the DVD player and just watch, it's a film you'll probably ever watch once because it is very time consuming and trust me I felt the length at times. Even though you may feel the length at times that is due to Martin Scorsese's excellent work in this movie, it changes colour for each time period, it is one of the most realistic biopics I've seen and Leo's performance...
The performance given by Leo is one in a million and one of my favourites ever given by an actor and this movie proves that Scorsese has still got that spirit in him to keep making epic after epic after epic after epic.
Aviator is based on director/producer Howard Hughes who got really sick and had a lot of mental issues and health problems after his plane crashing for testing of a film, he made it out alive but with serious injuries, a broken spine, collapsed heart, temporary deafness and extremely blurry vision. This accident completely ruined his whole life but he fought through it and is a true survivor. Do I need to say anything more? Roger Ebert gave this a 4/4 and it was loved by critics on its initial release and is considered a classic for many years to come.
Now, I don't want to make this review too long and bore you to death, but I will definitely recommend this movie to any true film lover out there. Grade: A+
