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. Such an adventurous, exciting and wonderful experience, few people can resist. It's hard not to be astonishing at the beauty of the view from the air. Therefore, many captains are photography enthusiasts, because what they see is so beautiful, they can't help but want to freeze and collect them.

I have been in a low-flying small plane three times, and I have driven a simulator once. I don’t know if I will have the opportunity to fly a plane in the air in the future~ [laughing]

Leonardo did a great job in this film, creating such a complex and multi-faceted legend that the idea for the film originated from him (unfortunately, it was only nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor). The love of flying made Howard Hughes defy all opinions and put all his wealth into building the most advanced aircraft. He tried flying it again and again, even if he almost took his life - 78% of his body was burned, 9 ribs were crushed, and he survived again. Test flight. Such courage is simply frightening. Perhaps only people who also love flying can understand. At the same time, his almost morbid cleanliness, obsessive-compulsive disorder, possessiveness, and perfectionism make him appear neurotic, disgusting, and make him lose the person he loves.

His contribution to the aviation industry cannot be ignored. Look at the current US aviation market, and then look at the United Airlines Act proposed by the senator for Pan Am trying to monopolize international routes at that time (the United States can only accommodate one airline with international routes), how ridiculous! And his accurate foresight and foresight of the road ahead has also led the progress of the American aviation industry.

As a little boy, he said to his mother, "When I grow up, I'm going to fly the fastest plane in the world, make the biggest movie in the world, and become the richest person in the world." And he did.
