The Cult Of Howard Hughes!

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2010)

Howard Hughes: Aviation Pioneer, Successful Film Producer and a man suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. 'The Aviator' is about him, this genius, this winner, this master-mind.
Martin Scorsese directs this biopic with remarkable understanding. I have always said that, Scorsese is a filmmaker who creates inspirations through his cinema. He is one of the most talented and dedicated filmmakers in recent cinema history. 'The Aviator' is amongst his finest efforts to date. The Cult Of Howard Hughes unfolds with sheer magic.
'The Aviator' is 169 minutes long in running time, and there is not a single minute when you disconnect with Mr.Howard Hughes. You feel for him when he has to face himself, he is a very memorable character into a film. Scorsese knows that his film is based on a very important person, he understands him. His direction is amazing, as always. Robert Richardson's Cinematography captures the journey of the man stunningly.
Performance-Wise: Leonardo DiCaprio is fabulous as Mr.Howard Hughes. Leo is one of the finest actors to have stepped in films, and this biopic proves that fact yet again. Cate Blanchett is flawless as the legendary Katharine Hepburn. Kate Beckinsale is good. Alec Baldwin is superb. But the real show-stopper here, is undoubtedly, Alan Alda. The veteran plays the role of a Con/Senator with great style and ease.
On the whole, An Oustanding Film In All Respects. A Biopic That Leaves You Dazzled! Two Big Thumbs Up!
