Based upon the 1993 non-fiction book Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the film depicts the life of Howard Hughes, an aviation leader and director of the film Hell's Angels The movie depicts his life from 1927 to 1947 during which time Hughes became an effective movie producer and an aviation magnate while simultaneously expanding extra unsteady as a result of extreme obsessive-compulsive condition (OCD).
Ironically, regarding this reviewer is concerned the most stirring, most unforgettable minute in Martin Scorsese and John Logan's The Pilot isn't the (admittedly impressive) aerial battle at the beginning of the movie, or the aircraft collision later on, or any one of the social goings-on.
It is a historic legendary that focused on a key duration in the life of Howard Hughes among one of the most well-known and probably important guys of the twentieth century. Even if it's not a total success, nor among his finest motion pictures, I still locate it to be a lot more enjoyable than most of scrap Hollywood craps out on a regular basis.
Appearing at 169 mins, The Aviator tries to remain up, yet like Howard Hughes' much-too-heavy and much-too-big Spruce Goose (a.k.a. The Hercules), this cinematic big can maintain itself airborne just a few mins at once.
