2004 / United States Germany / Drama Biography / Martin Scorsese / Leonardo DiCaprio Cate Blanchett

The duration of two hours and fifty minutes is not long for Howard Hughes' life. The movie started when he was a child, and it actually ends in his twilight years. Personally, I think "The Aviator" is a more attractive movie. .

His childhood education on the so-called "clean life" made him different from others from the very beginning. He spent a lot of money and worked hard to make a movie that others dare not think of; he loves a person, loves A person with a personality just like him; he aspires to build the fastest and largest plane, regardless of whether it hurts the interests of others; he is a paranoid, playboy, and has a serious cleanliness. His difference makes him Dare to fight against these seemingly normal worlds, Hughes is the leader of the world.

People can't understand everything he does, but he himself understands that a person who is not understood will work harder to protect himself. In his own heart, Hughes is always like a child, because he lacks understanding and care. , and he can pay more attention to the person he loves, but unfortunately love never comes to his world easily, even if he has tens of thousands of desires, but it is always fruitless, even an ordinary person is not easy to find someone who really understands him. , not to mention fringe figures like him.

I think the director's little plum is the feature of this movie. The director Martin Scorsese is very good. I have seen his "Hugo" and "Shutter Island" before. This movie is actually somewhat different from his style. The difference is that the film has an old-fashioned Hollywood style in terms of soundtrack and shooting techniques, which makes the film more immersive, and the director's use of color is also very fascinating. Xiao Lizi likes it even more, and his performance is always There is a strong tension. He himself said on the Oscar red carpet in 2014 that "The Aviator" was one of the films he really devoted himself to shooting. His performance when he was completely naked in the screening room and fell into a state of absolute cleanliness is really surprising.

The director wanted to convey a happy ending, so he chose to end with Hughes repeating "the view of the feature" in the mirror, but in the actual ending, Hughes died in an airplane accident, the last moment of his life , which ends in an airplane.
