Excellent, the best of 2004

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2005)

The Aviator is my personal favourite film of 2004. I was amazed at the story-telling and the wide mix that made this film. It's a documentary, and it is blended with action, romance, psychology, history, and a great music track. The attention to detail and the picture is excellent. Scorsese does a fine job portraying the mood for every scene in a combination of images and audio. The characterisation is done as brilliantly as some of Scorsese's other films. If you are looking for an excellent storyline, characters, and cinematography, then you must see this film. It stands on its own very well - as a story and as a biography. (For those of you who think that this movie 'has got to be boring' because it is a historical biography, I am telling you that I did not find it boring at all.) You have got to see this film. It's great.
