The Aviator
(Martin Scorsese, 2004) 7/10
I liked this film a lot more now than I thought beforehand. I was bowled over by so many things, not least Cate Blanchett’s vivid cartoon portrayal of Katharine Hepburn – its audacious, but it works, so does Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner (imo). Add in Jude Law for a minute or five as Errol Flynn and the film soars, just like Hughes and Hepburn do in his plane when he lets her fly it.
Basically tho, Scorsese only shows us Hughes from the 1920s to the 1940s, with all that
Hell's Angels
movie-making, with Jean Harlow (Gwen Stefani). Leonardo DiCaprio captures the spendthrift madness of Hughes in his early prime, as he spends, spends and spends more to get his visions on screen. Nobody it seems can say no to him, as we watch his staff and companions like Noah Dietrich (John C. Reilly), and later his deadly foes like Alec Baldwin as Juan Trippe, CEO of Pan-American Airways, and Alan Alda as that very devious, corrupt politician.
The basic facts about Hughes are present and correct, his unstoppable will and inner demons, as we see his growing obsession and OCD about health and germs and how he cannot open that washroom door… It is all vivid film-making, as the running time flies by, with Scorsese in his element, and all those fantastic planes and amazing set-pieces; it makes me wonder what Scorsese’s proposed Sinatra biopic would have been like.

i don't remember much what Scorsese said about his idea of making a biopic about Sinatra, but he mentioned it some years ago that he thinks about it… no clue how much of that is true now tho.

this guy needs to get a script and find an actor who could do the impossible: recreate Frank, before it's too late and he dies
or have AI simply generate a 3-d Sinatra and screw the actors' union -

You and The Academy differ vastly in opinions about Cate playing Kate Hepburn. -
