The Aviator is another Martin Scorsese's movie confirming his genius and unique character in film industry. His movies always has an intricate plot, the cast always consists of great actors and the scenarios are also magnificent reflecting with all details the epoch where the story takes place. All this together makes his films be watched, remembered and talked about.

The Aviator is a story about Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio), American millionaire, inventor and director. Since his childhood he was passionate about movies and aviation. So, his first movie Hell's Angels was about planes. Its production lasted for several years. During these years Hughes spent a lot of money and efforts on finishing this film. Nevertheless, the final result was amazing, the movie was very successful. Then Hughes made some more films, but at the end decided to dedicate himself to aviation. He also had different love affairs that ended tragically. Howard Hughes is rich, successful, but he, like many other mortals, has his own skeletons. He suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that gets worse and worse as Hughes grows and reaches new victories. And it's interesting to watch how he deals with this problem: being such a genius and paranoid at the same time and achieve his goals. I guess Leo's character totally proves that no matter what, but he will get what he really wants. By the way, I should point out DiCaprio's brilliant actor performance. He is really great and talented actor. I can't imagine any other person who could present his character how Leo did that! I just don't understand why he doesn't have any Oskar yet.

The Aviator is a movie I would recommend to those people who appreciate film craft and Martin Scorsese's production. I don't mean other audience can't watch it. Everybody is advised to see it. You will enjoy this movie, its story, actors' performance, decorations and the way it was made.
