From Hollywood's legendary Cocoanut Grove to the pioneering conquest of the wild blue yonder, Martin Scorsese's The Aviator celebrates old-school filmmaking at its finest. We say "old school" only because Scorsese's love of golden-age Hollywood is evident in his approach to his subject--Howard Hughes in his prime (played by Leonardo DiCaprio in his)--and especially in his technical mastery of the medium, which reflects his love for classical filmmaking of the studio era. Even when he's using state-of-the-art digital trickery for the film's exciting flight scenes (including one of the most spectacular crashes ever filmed), Scorsese's meticulous attention to art direction and costume design suggests an impassioned pursuit of craftsmanship from a bygone era; every frame seems to glow with gilded detail. And while DiCaprio bears little physical resemblance to Hughes from the film's 20-year period (late 1920s to late '40s), he efficiently captures the eccentric millionaire's golden-boy essence, and his tragic descent into obsessive-compulsive seclusion. Bolstered by Cate Blanchett's uncannily accurate portrayal of Katharine Hepburn as Hughes' most beloved lover, The Aviator is easily Scorsese's most accessible film, inviting mainstream popularity without compromising Scorsese's artistic reputation. As compelling crowd-pleasers go, it's a class act from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon

Život Howarda Hughese patří k nejvíce fascinujícím příběhům, jaké Amerika předchozího století zrodila. Tento letecký průkopník, řežisér i producent, ropný magnát a muž nejedné další činnosti a tváře totiž vynikal nejen svým všestranným talentem, ale i svou výstřední povahou. A film THE AVIATOR v režii legendárního Martina Scorseseho (Zuřící býk, Mafiáni) se bude soustředit právě na nejzajímavější úsek Hughesovy (Leonardo DiCaprio) životní dráhy. Tedy období, kdy natáčel své filmy, testoval letadla vlastní výroby a proháněl hollywoodské krásky Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett), Avu Gardner (Kate Beckinsale) a Jean Harlow (Gwen Stefani). |
