The Aviator
A thoroughly enjoyable movie. Leonardo di Caprio is compelling as Howard Hughes, as are Cate Blanchett and Kate Beckinsale as his love interests. Roughly, the plot covers Hughes' first epic foray into the film industry, and then delves into his literally high-flying lifestyle, as he becomes an aviation industry mogul, while maintaining a Hollywood presence and sensibilities. His overwhelming obsessions cripple him, yet he still manages to be groundbreaking and important, even while he hurts those closest to him.
What really grabbed me was the immaculate styling. I know nothing on the periods portrayed by this film, but everything seemed just perfect. And even if it wasn't 100% accurate (though I suspect it was), it was just so aesthetically pleasing. I loved the way the suits were cut and worn in that time, and the overall sophistication of the clothing and social interactions.
