Howard Hughes is America's first billionaire, film producer, aviator, aerospace engineer...he owns a tool company, a movie company, an aircraft manufacturing company, an airline, a casino, a TV station...it's hard to describe him in a few words His life is too legendary.
Whether shooting the movie "Hell's Angels" or making the plane "Hercules", his every shot will achieve unprecedented success, and at the same time his wealth and fame will grow rapidly. To this day we are still amazed at his courage and his world-renowned achievements.
The film focuses on the huge risks he took and the heavy price he paid in the process of realizing these wild dreams.
He is an example of putting dreams into practice, and brilliant achievements are just added value.
From him, I really understood that I would defy the crowd and be independent. This "madman" who pursues the ultimate, a patient with severe cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, even if he goes bankrupt, even if he betrays his family, even if he sacrifices his health and even his life, for the sake of his dream. However, it is precisely this madness and paranoia that allows him to abandon all external interference and pursue his dreams desperately.
He has attracted much attention all his life. Some people want to see how he is self-sufficient and fall short of success; some people want to see him create miracles again, and more people just relish his mental problems and peach sex scandals. He has countless rumored girlfriends, but his two favorite women have left him one after another. He had many, many compliments and compliments, but no one could share the excitement and joy with him.
In the second half of the film, he is no longer passionate and suave. His cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder aggravated, he washed his hands and rubbed his hands to donate blood, he didn't shave his hair, and he stayed behind closed doors... However, everything did not obliterate his dream from beginning to end. He wanted to build the world's largest aircraft, and he believed in aviation. The industry should not be monopolized by one airline, and citizens should have the right to choose an airline for travel.
So he kept a seemingly unlucky mind and categorically rejected the favorable conditions of being acquired. Afterwards, he braced himself to attend the hearing of the extremely unfavorable decision on TWA's survival, argued with the senators on the grounds, and published an impassioned defense that shocked the United States.
He said at the hearing that the Hercules would be a milestone in aviation history, not only did he cost the U.S. government $56 million, but he also invested millions of dollars out of his own pocket and will continue to spend millions. If Hercules doesn't fly, he'll leave America forever. When he made this statement, it was impossible to predict whether it would succeed, and no one in the world could predict at that time. His speech further expressed his determination not to give up.
At the end of the film, he successfully took off with the "Hercules". His contribution to the history of aviation around the world will go down in history.
As he said, flying was the love of his life. He deserves to be a great pilot and a fearless dreamer.
