Di Caprio's finest performance!

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2016)

I had never before heard of Howard Hughes, let alone be aware of his nature and his achievements. After watching this movie I thought I was watching Howard Hughes himself living, in all his eccentric, paranoid self and his love for aviation. Leonardo Di Caprio is my favourite actor, and after watching this movie in 2016, I cannot help but wonder, how can any performance surpass his depiction of Howard Hughes for the Oscars!! The movie was beautifully directed by the legend Martin Scorsese. Subtle details like the use of lights, flashes etc to highlight eccentric nature of the main character were phenomenal. For instance when Howard Hughes locks himself up in a room, my focus was on his fingernails which they showed to have grown several inches as he hadn't gotten out of that room. In all a must watch movie for everyone who wants to enjoy good film making.
