The Aviator
© Copyright Miramax films
I have yet to have the pleasure of telling you about the weird and wonderful movie, The Aviator, ok maybe weird, but not so wonderful. The trailers are quite deceiving in what the film is about, and it is not just glitz, glamour and planes. The movie delves into his private life and most importantly his OCD (Obsessive compulsive Disorder,) These scenes frequent the movie and provide a different insight into the man. There are plane scenes, and they are great, the cinematography throughout the film was top notch and don't get me wrong some of the weirder scenes were quite good and Di Caprio nearly broke the boundaries of his acting. But the movie wasn't great, it was OK, some good bits, some bad bits, but it left me scratching my head, and not in a good way.
