Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2005)

The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes, Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn, Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner, John C. Reilly as Noah Dietrich, Alec Baldwin as Juan Trippe, and Alan Alda as Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster, directed by Martin Scorsese, is a dramatic retelling of the life of filmmaker and Aviator, Howard Hughes.
The movie begins with Howard filming the 1930 hit "Hell's Angles", and goes onto show Howard's career designing airplanes. It also tells how Howard had to deal with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and how the disorder almost ruined his life. Leonardo's performance as this disordered aviator was very well acted, and he could be up for an Oscar nomination. Cate Blanchett on the other hand will most likely get an Oscar nomination, for portraying actress Katharine Hepburn, and might win it too.
Like most Scorsese films, such as "Goodfellas" and "Casino", The Aviator is beautifully directed, filmed, and acted. Scorsese is a master at directing grade A films, and this film proves it. (I won't be surprised if he wins the best director award)Â… Final Grade, A-
