The Aviator - The Way of the Future

For me Leonardo DiCaprios best performance

Brilliant film, one of my favorites from that decade

Your statement about the future was sufficient, lewis.

The way to end...

I like the part where he says “the way of the future”.

The only way this movie could have been better is to have it exactly as it was but the only thing he says in the entire movie, “the way of the future”

Anybody can Tell me the name of the song??? Thanks

Its the music that does it for me ...playing constantly thru the scene almost resembles life and the way it does NOT stop for us and our problems 😮

A series would’ve been far more appropriate to cover the extensive, fascinating life of someone like Howard Hughes; but Scorsese and DiCaprio more than made justice to the man by showing some of the most noticeable aspects of his persona… ❤❤

OCD really is a nightmare and way too often it doesn't get treated seriously enough by the media. It's a gimmick or plot device. The show 'Monk' had the guy with OCD being really good at his job because of it. That's completely wrong. If anything it would make him much worse at his job, because of the constant mental chatter and anxiety impeding rational thought.

Or 'As Good As It Gets', where Jack Nicholson's OCD is more of a funny quirky than anything. Although I can't totally diss that movie, because it is what gave me the courage to tell my parents about the OCD I had been suffering from for a year by that time. They otherwise could not understand why my marks had crashed and I couldn't get anything done.

Or anytime someone says "I'm so OCD". Ha ha. No, you ain't or you wouldn't be saying that.

The Aviator has one of the best depictions of just how depraved OCD is. It utterly ruined Hughes' life - all his money couldn't help him. He died about a decade before the first effective treatments and medications for OCD started appearing.

Even then, OCD often proves too strong for therapy or medication. The most promising areas of research are coming on fast now though - psychedelics, neurofeedback, direct brain stimulation. Neuroscience is one of the most rapidly developing areas in all of science, and for this 30-year OCD sufferer that does bring some relief, knowing one way or another that they will beat this thing.

…. And Leonardo didn’t win an Oscar for this? It’s one of the best performances I’ve ever seen by anyone.

This suddenly reminds me of OCP(Robocop).
I wonder why.

This portrayal I identify so much with. I get caught in vicious feedback loops, everything seems insultingly simplistic. I'm not that smart but I put the work in to understand the details as best I can because details mean precision and precision means accuracy. All these opinions by people who's areas of expertise are so far removed from the subject at hand. The obtuseness of discussions about psychology are always insulting. Every year, more things we used to consider personality traits are considered illnesses. There's a normalcy crusade which creates insufferable concepts like "neurotypical" and the ever nebulous "toxicity". They narrow the scope of what's acceptable so they can sell you on their opinions of your inadequacy. They want you to believe you're in worse shape than you are. Your best interests are not at heart.
Find people that try to relate, as "understanding" doesn't exist. Too many nuances to explain why things are irritating but if I had to sum it up, I find all society is based on deceit and navigating that deceit. It's exhausting.

OCD is something hard to explain and even harder for other people to understand. Things have to be done a certain way and if it isn't I get so angry, and people think you should just get over it, it's nothing.

This movie made me aware that there was something wrong with me.

Its weird I started doing this again today getting caught in a loop and then it comes right up on suggestions? Fucking computers are all listening to everything. Its from benoz withdrawl.

The way of the future.

Never understood the Goons?

the part where his child self is looking at him is peak cinema.

Didn't Hughes experience some sort of brain damage after his plane accident? Would that have increased the effect of his OCD as well? So sad indeed. Dicaprio did an excellent job.

I think this movie underperforms, because americans today, can't really comprehend someone so comprehensively dynamic and innovative and dominating as howard hughes was. His bio almost reads like a greek demigod.

Moonlight Serenade always hits different after seeing this film.

His mother was right.

As someone with OCD his character is just so damn accurate it’s uncanny. Mines not so much verbal like this but mostly repeating things in my mind. I wish he could have gotten better treatment back then for this disorder. I even wonder if medication would have helped had it been around. Makes me have tears just seeing this. Leonardo DiCaprio did a tremendous job in this movie.

As an inventor plus having an autistic son, this movie resonates. Great movie 🙏🏻

I suppose most people will see only Howard Hughes compulsions in this video, "the way of the future" phrase repeated desperately again and again until he said it "just right", reassures himself and calms down, i.e. his fears, his overwhelming anxiety goes away and finally feels safe again, in control (he recovers his sense of agency). But, if you take a moment, you can also see the external trigger that lead to this bizarre way of acting, perfectly captured by Martin Scorsese... When Hughes takes notice of the guys in blue suits, he starts feeling unsafe, paranoid (also before in the film he had incidents with the goverment searching his houses IIRC and a near fatal plane crash, those are heavy stressors), full of the so called intrusive thoughts, he became obsessed with the perceived danger (hypervigilance), so futhermore his anxiety (feelings of danger) goes way up, and how he copes with those emotions? Trying to be perfect (what is perfect is socially untouchable, and "safe"), in this case, repeating that phrase again and again, until the anxiety and danger feelings goes away. So his OCD is truly a dysfunctional coping mechanism. At the end, he finally feels "perfect" and in control, reinforcing this way of responding to his deep emotional turmoil/distress. What is more interesting is that in the film, after this scene ends, you can clearly see and understand why Howard feels like this: his mother emotionally manipulated him when he was a little boy in order to control him, making him feel deeply unsafe about the world. The mother, by emotionally manipulating him, made him feel guilty and ashamed for his own child's natural needs of exploration and experimentation, making him to see them as something bad and reprehensible (against his mother's wishes and emotional needs). The mother was abusive but the child needs his mother to survive so he unconsciously and instinctively blames himself for his own wants and needs and his mother's abusive and manipulative behavior, and he responded to his mother's abusive behavior trying to be perfect ("When I grow up, I'm gonna fly the fastest planes ever built, make the biggest movies ever, and be the richest man in the world."). From a child immature and narcissistic (all childs are narcissists, not in a pathological sense but naturally, mentally and emotionally undeveloped) point of view this is what it means to be perfect, also to be/feel safe. The anxiety Howard felt here was not a normal mild anxiety, but a primitive, totally overwhelming and out of control form of anxiety that got triggered by the blue suit guys and made him feel in despair, helplessness, like a scared little boy, and be being perfect he is trying to convince himself that he is a "good boy" and safe, so his mother (all this unconcious in nature of course, but we are talking about primordial and unconcious emotions and feelings as the driving force here) is not going to abandon him (the worst thing that can happen to anyone really, but specially to a child, is feeling unloved and alone, exactly what the abandonment feels like, and what the mother's abusive behavior represents, that's the danger he is actually trying to protect from: the emotional pain of rejection). This is exactly what OCD is about: trauma and shattered assumptions about the world, the other people, yourself and your ability to cope with the other two (and not and illness, if you ask me, because as in this film, one does not born with this, it develops, so it's psychosocial, not biological, that means it can be reverted psychosocially), and with it being scared to DEATH (the fear of being alone, abandoned, unloved, rejected, etc, and dying). Awesome film.

I think I started going crazy at 29... 😿🥺

Something about a genius that went crazy is fascinating 🤔

It sounds like he's saying "the way of the future."

man as actor i feel like that would be such a hard scene to pull off

i love the realization of his company growing to the point where he doesn't even know if people work for him or not 😂

Imagine if this happened before Leonardo DiCaprio received his Oscar winning role.

He was right, it was the way of the future.

Were those men with the gloves really there?
I feel like the callback to the agents ransacking his house and John C. Reilly's criptic line make it an open question whether he was hallucinating.

Our Father and Lord

Garbage Johnny Depp this is a real Actor.

"When I grow up, I'm gonna fly the fastest planes ever built, make the biggest movies ever, and be the richest man in the world!" The unspoken line as the young Howard and the adult Howard share a look is then "And I *DID*" Modern aviation exists because of this man. A truly perfect scene.

The way of the future=To be imagine="When I grow up, I'm gonna make the biggest movies, fly the fastest planes ever built, and be the richest man in the world." But infact, the most important thing is health of mind. İmagines comes from after.

I have something similar to this (not quite as bad) I own a rapidly growing company. Sometimes I have episodes like this if there are too many jobs going on or if the business account keeps shrinking without enough work to replenish it. It’s rough sometimes. I usually have to drink a couple beers to relax enough to fall asleep and I pray I sleep through the night. If I wake up at 2am, I’m up. Period.

Few know the truth, but, in actuality, he had finally, in secret, discovered a revolutionary process for turning milk into cheese and other related by products.

I've always felt that Howard was (despite his wealth and fame) very lonely in his life because of his OCD problems. I felt lonely once, so I know how it feels. 😔😔😔😔

This movie is mocking the audience. Howard Hughes went into hiding because he knew the Germans were infiltrating America through the CIA, State Department, and Unacknowledged Special Access Programs, especially Aerospace. With their new Jet Tech and rockets, Hughes knew there would be no place for Patriotic Americans Airplane Developers who did not get on board, so he went into hiding to develop a plan.

I thought he was saying The Wave of the future

It was the way of the future until the future happened.

Am I the only one who finds bitter-sweetness in this? Howard feels trapped by his OCD, but also remembers his childhood goals and how he has achieved them all.

Anybody here after the Russians destroyed the largest plane in the world.😥
