was able to soar to great heights (literally and figuratively). The
physics that allow for flight are counterbalancing forces: thrust
and drag, lift and gravity. The Aviator shows how counterbalancing
forces were present in Hughes life (as they are in all lives.) |

| SYNOPSIS
|
| "The
Aviator" tells the story of aviation pioneer Howard Hughes (DiCaprio),
the eccentric billionaire industrialist and Hollywood film mogul famous
for romancing some of the world's most beautiful women. The drama
recounts the years of his life from the late 1920s through the 1940s,
an epoch when Hughes was directing movies and test flying innovative
aircraft he designed and created. It also chronicles Hughes' struggle
with his physical disabilities and phobias, and his increasingly erratic,
obsessive-compulsive behavior that led him ultimately to isolate himself
from his associates and withdraw from the world. |

 Review
by DARREL MANSON
Martin
Scorsese has a gift for making the characters in his films very
real. They may or may not be good people deep inside, but we do
get that chance to see deep into their souls. Among the best examples
of this are Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull,
Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, Alice
Hyatt in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,
and all the gangsters that populate films like Means
Streets, Goodfellas, or Casino.
In The Aviator he shows us the self-contained
contradiction that was central to Howard Hughes.
