Genres & Description

Action Biography Drama History

7.5 / 10

Biopic of billionaire Howard Hughes, starting with his early filmmaking years as owner of RKO studios but mostly focusing on his role in designing and promoting new aircraft. Hughes was a risk-taker spending several fortunes on designing experimental aircraft and eventually founding TWA as a rival to Pan AM airlines owned by his great rival Juan Trippe. When Trippe's politico Senator Ralph Owen Brewster accuses Hughes of being a war profiteer, it's Hughes who gains the upper hand. Hughes also had many women in his life including a long relationship with actress Katharine Hepburn. From an early age however, Hughes was also germophobic and would have severe bouts of mental illness.

I still wonder about that interview in which Chris Nolan said about him writing about Howard Hughes biopic which according to him was his best piece ever written and he was gonna cast Jim carrey for the lead role. No doubt this martin Scorsese version is amazing in its own way with power packed performances but it would be interesting to watch the Nolan version with Jim carrey in it this combination itself is exciting - @Sunday, November 12, 2017 8:10 AM

I wonder if Hughes had a fascination with magnets (eccentric minds tend to tinker around with child-like imagination). I thought DiCaprio portrayed Hughes with the appropriate amount of zealotry. - @Saturday, September 2, 2017 5:02 PM

By far Leo's best performance. After this people said Leo is transforming into a great actor and not relying on a pretty face. - @Friday, February 3, 2017 5:29 AM
