The Aviator (DVD, 2005, 2-Disc Set, Widescreen)

Timely message due to Howard Hughes childhood fears of quarantines

Timely movie to watch during the corona virus pandemic. I didn't realize that such a big part of Howard Hughes' reclusive nature and paranoia was due to the quarantines his mother had told him about when he was young. There may be lessons for us to learn from this movie in approaching how to help children cope with the current pandemic so that they can not be adversely impacted so much. Great movie overall-- despite some disturbing portrayals of Hughes' eccentric nature. There is often a fine line between genius and insanity. I have a personal connection to Howard Hughes in a way. My grandfather gave a young Mormon boy here in Salt Lake City his first (or one of his first) jobs and taught him to be honest, devoted and hard working. That young man eventually became Howard Hughes' number one man and one of the few that Howard Hughes consistently trusted. I don't think that Howard Hughes was a religious person but he was known for his trust for LDS (Mormon) people as some of his top advisors.Read full review

Great movie and stellar cast on the life and achievements of the great "Aviator" Mr. Howard Hughes who suffered from mental illness.

DiCaprio does an excellent job portraying Howard Hughes and the stellar cast and direction makes for a very interesting movie on how the rise and fall of an innovator who suffers from mental illness.

Great aviation history

Very well researched and directed movie. Some people may find portions tough to endure, but those portions are depicting the realism of life that some people endure.
The aviation side is very well done and covers some aspects of history that are in many peoples minds but not truly presented in the past.Read full review
