The ultimate brilliance, the other side must be the ultimate darkness

It's hard to imagine that this is a movie based on a true story.

Howard Hughes is a young consortium heir. In order to give his young face a firm foothold in the business empire, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to shoot an aerial combat movie that took several years. The films he made also received unanimous acclaim, laying the groundwork for his life-long pursuit of interest.

He is a crazy genius who loves flying, pursues the ultimate at all costs, and struggles with mental illness.

In pursuit of the ultimate, in order to make the air resistance of the aircraft smaller and to fly faster, he put his own money on it, and even if the conditions were difficult, he had to pool the money to do it. By the way, he took a big step forward in aviation technology, which can be regarded as the originator of modern large aircraft. He is also obsessive-compulsive, because the wrong placement of vegetables on the dinner plate makes him intolerable.

Adventurous personality, whether it is far (hair) see (crazy), decides to throw millions of dollars to develop a new plane in just a few seconds, or is always the first person to test flight, the first time to take off, the first time The unparalleled thrill of flying over new routes was everything he was fascinated by. He loves, so desires, so he can do whatever it takes, and the last thing he sees the rescuers say is: I am Howard Hughes, a pilot. This kind of love is to the bone, dedicate your life to it, and give your life to it.

Because the starting point of all his actions is his interest and his love for aviation, so he can't stand any other greedy and visionless company that destroys aviation development. Therefore, in the unbearable hearing, although there were many traps ahead, he won the hearts of the people as long as he simply stated the facts and the intention behind his every action. His purity seems to have paid a great price (money, reputation, life), but in fact, such purity is the simplest, and he has obtained the greatest return at the least cost.

What is more gratifying is that madness and genius are torturing him and the people around him. In the two most difficult and about to be knocked down events, the two most important women in his life have returned to him. Support him, comfort him, this is the power of personality.

ps The first time I saw the Coconut Hotel scene, I thought I was watching Gatsby. In this scene, Xiao Lizi's handle is so real, he doesn't care about anyone else.

    I like split personality

    It is rare to be able to make biopics of real people into three-hour-long movies that are good-looking and fit the original story. Howard Hughes' own experience is truly legendary. In addition, Xiao Li's (finally) explosive acting skills deduced his obsessive-compulsive mental illness, which really made the film very brilliant. Martin Scorsese did not shoot and edit according to his usual typical methods, so the effect is actually better. I really like the green retro tone in the first half hour. Four and a half stars
