Dos not show all the true facts

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2004)

Over all it is a good film but it does not show all the true facts about Howard Hughes. Hughes was supposedly bisexual and had an affair with Randolph Scott and Cary Grant. This is has been avoided as a plague in the film. It is sad to see that Hollywood always tries to change or hide the facts about a persons sexuality especially when it comes to homosexuality. The best example is Richard Burton's Alexander the great where he was shown to be straight as an arrow (ha, ha, what a bunch load of lies). I am not a gay activist but sincerely feel that true facts are most of the times never shown by Hollywood. Leo and Cate Blanchett have done a great job though. Despite the complete truth not shown about the legend in the film it is good and worth watching once 6/10. Talking about the Oscars, I feel that Jamie Fox deserves it over Leo for Ray. Jamie was superb as Ray. He was Ray and not Jamie Fox. I am sorry to say that at many places in the film Leo behaves like the super star Leonardo Di Caprio and not Hughes. But amongst the actresses, Blanchett rightly deserves the Oscar. She is absolutely superb as the legendary Hepburn. Her voice, mannerisms, body language, wow! guys, this is what great acting is!! Absolutely brilliant.
