Aviator should have gotten "Best Picture" Oscar

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2005)

I am writing to say that "The Aviator" should have gotten the Best Picture" Oscar. The Aviator is a riveting, non-stop emotional picture from beginning to end. It almost seems Howard Hughes is at the helm in producing this picture. It has his intensity, his non-stop energy, his emotional ups and downs, his vibrant colorful life and tragedy. To even compare this fast-paced picture to "Million Dollar Baby" is a sacrilege in my opinion. "Million Dollar Baby" had my mother asleep and me wanting to get there. The pace is SO>>>>>>slow, the actors only mediocre in my opinion. The script was so simplistic compared to the intriguing lines of the "Aviator." I thought Leonardo DeCaprio was par excellence as Howard. He put an incredible piece of himself into a very complicated character and came off very believable in my opinion. Thank you for letting me share my comments.
