"The Aviator" is a biographical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese that showcases the life of Howard Hughes, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie primarily focuses on the period from 1927 to 1947, highlighting Hughes' rise as a successful filmmaker and aviation tycoon while grappling with the escalating symptoms of his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
The story begins in the late 1920s, when a young and ambitious Howard Hughes rocks the film industry with his financially risky but groundbreaking epic movie "Hell's Angels." The film establishes Hughes as a talented filmmaker but also hints at his meticulous attention to detail and perfectionism. The success of "Hell's Angels" propels him further into Hollywood's elite circles, where he meets influential figures like Katharine Hepburn (played by Cate Blanchett) with whom he develops a turbulent romantic relationship.
As Hughes expands his film empire, he becomes involved in a series of ambitious aviation projects. His passion for aviation leads him to form the Hughes Aircraft Company and build groundbreaking airplanes, including the H-1 Racer, setting world records for speed. Despite facing numerous setbacks and financial struggles, Hughes' determination to push the boundaries of aviation becomes evident.
However, as the years go by, Hughes' obsessive-compulsive disorder intensifies. He becomes consumed by his fears of contamination and constantly washes his hands, sometimes to the point of bleeding. His condition greatly impacts his personal and professional life, leading to strained relationships and failed ventures. Hughes becomes an eccentric recluse, isolated from the world in his elaborate screening room and later a germ-free environment, which serves as a cocoon for his deteriorating mental health.
The movie also delves into Hughes' conflicts with various external forces such as political figures and corporations seeking to control him and his enterprises. Notably, Hughes battles against Senator Owen Brewster (played by Alan Alda) in a Senate hearing investigating Hughes' controversial wartime contracts.
"The Aviator" culminates with Hughes' groundbreaking project, the H-4 Hercules aircraft, popularly known as the "Spruce Goose." Although criticized and ridiculed by the public, Hughes defies his doubters and emerges successful, eventually piloting the massive aircraft himself.
Throughout the film, Scorsese portrays both the triumphs and challenges of Hughes' life, emphasizing his genius, determination, and struggling mental health. "The Aviator" showcases the complex facets of an extraordinary man navigating both the glamorous world of Hollywood and the high stakes of aviation while battling against his own inner demons.
