Howard Hughes was awesome. I bought The Aviator for six dollars a month or so ago and yesterday I finally got around to watching it, and all I have to say is that Howard Hughes was the man. Eccentric? Yes. Neurotic? Or, fo’ sho’. Playboy? Affirmative. Let me just say that I wish I could’ve met him, for I found that he was a lot like me. Hughes hated germs, and I do too, only not to the degree Hughes did. I admire his dedication to cleanliness.
The Aviator was a phenomenal film. Mr. Scorsese delivered. I don’t need to point out the obvious, but everybody should make an effort to see this flick. It’s almost three hours, but the story is intriguing and I rooted for Hughes all the way through. Howard Hughes is one of the most compelling characters I’ve ever seen in a film, and I’m sure he was just as compelling in real life, if not more than the film portrayed him. DiCaprio did an excellent job in regards to his portrayal of Hughes, and anybody who thinks otherwise can kiss my gluteus maximus.
