If the male and female protagonists in "La La Land" overlook the crimson morning light of Los Angeles from the top of the hill where they danced together for the first time, the two are indulged in the beautiful scenery and have a beautiful relationship, then the male protagonist in "The Aviator" teaches the daughter The main flight of the private plane, the aerial tour of Los Angeles, overlooking the Beverly Hills, is really romantic to the extreme, and the passion behind it is also logical.

And his accurate foresight and foresight of the road ahead has also led the progress of the American aviation industry.

The Aviator quotes

  • Howard Hughes: What about the girls? How are they in the bomb department?

    Johnny Meyer: Well, let's put it this way. It'll be a regular boob buffet. I don't think the gentlemen from the Air Corps will have any trouble scoring tonight.
