rich, willful

I feel that some of the plots are a bit procrastinated, but after all, it is a biographical film, and there is still a plot of nearly three hours, which is acceptable.

Leonardo's superb acting skills also perfectly interpret Howard Hughes's high spirits when he was young, his decadence when he fails, his joy when he succeeds, and his appearance when he has a cleanliness attack.

If this movie is going to tell us that we should be like Howard to be desperate for the dream of "the best golfer, the best filmmaker, the best pilot," I'd say, "No." After all, we are ordinary people, and we don’t have assets like him to squander. He can take out an airplane from an airport to make a movie when he is still rummaging through boxes in China to make up more than 20 planes to fight a war. He can buy an entire radio station, bar, gambling station for his own happiness City, can date countless girlfriends at the same time, and we can't, we are just non-RMB players.

At the same time, it is undeniable that this super cleanliness patient has contributed to a better country (although he is also making money, but who does not have self-interest)

No matter the starting point or the ending point, he stands at a height beyond the reach of ordinary people. He is a rich and willful playboy and an ambitious entrepreneur, a meticulous filmmaker, and a passionate pilot.

    This kid's acting is good, I've always felt average in biographical films
