About this product
Product Information
Martin Scorsese's THE AVIATOR is a lavish spectacle of a motion picture that harks back to Hollywood's Golden Era in telling the story of Howard Hughes, one of 20th-century America's most pioneering and influential figures. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the eccentric billionaire, Scorsese's biopic concentrates on Hughes's life between the 1920s and '40s, when he made striking contributions to both the film and aviation industries. At only 25 years of age, Hughes directed the most expensive film ever made up to that point, HELL'S ANGELS (1930), which Scorsese gleefully recreates here in all its sprawling, audacious glory. At the same time, he became known as an unabashed playboy, bedding the likes of Jean Harlow (singer Gwen Stefani), Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale), and Katherine Hepburn (a brilliant Cate Blanchett). In the mid-'30s, he turned his attention to the aviation industry, where he quickly became world-renowned for shattering speed and distance records. He also continued to test the limits of flight technology, building bigger, faster, and stronger aircrafts. All the while, he struggled with an obsessive-compulsive disorder that sent him into a full-fledged tailspin after a near-fatal plane crash. The film concludes with Hughes being called before the Senate in 1947 to defend himself against the nefarious Senator Owen Brewster (Alan Alda), who accused Hughes of taking money from the United States government during wartime.Stunningly photographed by Robert Richardson, Scorsese's nearly three-hour drama features an impassioned performance by DiCaprio, who is also credited as an executive producer. Although she appears in less than a third of the film, Blanchett delivers a performance that cements her status as one of the finest actresses ever to appear on the big screen.Product Identifiers

Timely message due to Howard Hughes childhood fears of quarantines
Timely movie to watch during the corona virus pandemic. I didn't realize that such a big part of Howard Hughes' reclusive nature and paranoia was due to the quarantines his mother had told him about when he was young. There may be lessons for us to learn from this movie in approaching how to help children cope with the current pandemic so that they can not be adversely impacted so much. Great movie overall-- despite some disturbing portrayals of Hughes' eccentric nature. There is often a fine line between genius and insanity. I have a personal connection to Howard Hughes in a way. My grandfather gave a young Mormon boy here in Salt Lake City his first (or one of his first) jobs and taught him to be honest, devoted and hard working. That young man eventually became Howard Hughes' number one man and one of the few that Howard Hughes consistently trusted. I don't think that Howard Hughes was a religious person but he was known for his trust for LDS (Mormon) people as some of his top advisors.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great aviation history
Very well researched and directed movie. Some people may find portions tough to endure, but those portions are depicting the realism of life that some people endure. The aviation side is very well done and covers some aspects of history that are in many peoples minds but not truly presented in the past.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
