"The Aviator"
My wife and I went to see "The Aviator" yesterday.
Comments: The planes and some of the flying sequences were great -- especially the S-38 and the reproduction of the H-1 and the CGI of some of the other planes. Acting: Leonardo DiCaprio should *never* have been cast as a pilot! His "flying" scenes looked like an airheaded actor playing pilot -- moving the control wheel all over the place; the head motions and general demeanor when "flying" were obviously the work of an actor and director who knew absolutely nothing about flying planes. Script: Hughes is talking about expanding TWA to international routes (during the middle of WW-II) and talks about competition from other airlines and mentions Lufthansa as a competitor. Lufthansa didn't get resurrected until the 1950s -- 10 years *after* the movie conversation. |
