| The Aviator Appreciation Thread #1  The Aviator appreciation thread Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes the man who became a legend. Phenomenal public success contrasts with private behaviors close to madness: Howard Hughes from the late 1920s to the late 1940s, from "Hells Angels" (spending a fortune on details) through the only flight of the Hercules, a huge, money-losing transport plane. Along the way, the public Hughes sees the big picture - in movies and in aviation, building TWA and leading it through a fight with Pan Am and the US Senate. In private, phobias and compulsions threaten him with self-imposed solitary confinement. How long can his imagination, drive, and the sympathies of Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and the men who work for him stave off these internal disorders? __________________ Mònica  I'm trying to remember why I was afraid to be myself and let the covers fall away I guess I never had someone like you, to help me fit in my skin PJ/BL/TnT- icon by me - Last edited by Miranda : 06-17-2007 at 12:02 PM. | |||

| ICA! I felt like I was watching Howard Hughes, not Leo at all. He was simply amazing playing him. So in character... it was a very powerful performance. IMO, Oscar worthy.  __________________ you got me hypnotized, | |||

| I love this film, I have watched it so many times and I swear Leo amazes me more each time I watch it. He is Howard in this film. The blueprints scene leaves me speechless everytime I see it. | |||

| Fan Forum's Finest  | Should post #7 be added to the opening? I haven't seen this movie yet, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO FOREVER  , but I do have the DVD and this is definitely #1 on my must see list, so hopefully I'll get to watch it sooner than later, then I'll be back to this thread.  __________________ "I don't want the celebrity to affect me; I just want to make music.
