The Aviator | 'Above the Weather’ (HD) - Leonardo DiCaprio, Danny Huston | MIRAMAX

I love this 😢🎉

Only thing I felt this movie missed was his round the world flight. They mention it when he's eating dinner with the Hepburns' but it's kind of a thrown away line. The significance of that flight was that it was not some great act of courage like Lindbergh barely getting across the Atlantic, it was a flex showing how sophisticated aviation had become. Hugh's flight was with state-of-the-art navigation and communication equipment and was meant to convince people of the safety and speed of flight. In many ways he was the Steve Jobs of his era - neither really invented fundamental new technology, but they both optimized existing technology and leapfrogged user experience.

Howard Hughes invented the jetway, which allows passengers to walk from a comfortable waiting area into the airplane without stepping outside, hearing the noise of the airport, or even seeing the exterior of the aircraft.

Leo DiCaprio was born to be a spectacular actor, as he is the best of my generation & a top five finest American thespian since WW2. Watching him in the act (literally) is beyond mesmerizing. How he didn't win an Oscar for this astounding performance boggles my mind. For he became Howard Hughes, in a fashion that was powerfully immersive & transcendent. And not to mention very entertaining. Even Howard Hughes would have been extremely impressed with Leo's depiction of him. As outstanding as the Leo canon is this performance ranks as one of his top five most brilliant, as magically riveting as it was!

I always flush the rivets.

Scorsese films are always great.

I wonder how many young men went on to become aviators or work with airplanes in some capacity after seeing this movie? Had I seen this movie as a kid, I would have gone into some form of aviation when I graduated.

“Only 1% of the American population has set foot on a commercial airliner, why?
Because they’re scared to death Jack…”

Wrong, because air travel was too freaking expensive at the time Howard.

Howard Hughes was unironically a galaxy brain.

I love his voice😍

"That's the future"
"The what now?"
"The way of the future.."

Any mechanical engineer here? Would it be simply a matter of getting those rivets out and making a 'countersunk depth hole' in the pre existing holes or would they have to replace the whole fuselage with new metal?

Looking at that reflection, Leo and Matt Damon should have been Tom and Dickie from "Talented Mr. Ripley."

Masterpiece: the way the future
The final scene:
He has accomplished everything he wanted to when he was a kid : he's the richest man in the world, he made films everyone will remember, he's a great aviator...
But he's not happy
This is the future

odie, quit thinking like an insect

Flush rivets at the time were an absurd expense. They are now industry standard.

He should have gotten an Oscar for this role.

He is the Elon musk of 20th century

srajler...

This movie has all that old Hollywood glamour, but it's just nonsense. Scorsese's trying to present Hughes as an important person, as a visionary. He was no such thing. He was born with a lot of money and then he went out and made a lot more money and had some fun along the way. That's about it

Why have i not seen this movie

For a second I got this confused with Catch Me if You Can 😂😂

His understanding of the climate is abysmal but he sure can act.

The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future.

It’s not they think your crazy it’s they’re just jealous and wanna knock down all dreams and ideas you may have.

Gavin Belson's early career

Should've won Best Actor with ease.

Is it normal that people stand so close together when they talk? Would make me highly uncomfortable! :)

Eagles are the only birds that fly above storms.

I go back and watch some of Leos performances. I remember myself that his performances are believable and legendary.

The cinematography in this movie is so overwhelming.

Omg Gavin Belson

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........great movie to take a nap to.......

Jet airliners - great vehicles for carrying people ... and viruses.

God bless his entrepreneurial spirit.

Howard Hughes: We build a plane that flies above the weather; we can get every man, woman and child in this country to feel safe up there.


Boeing: Hold my beer!

The way of the future

The way of the future?

Lockheed Constellation

aided by technology, the end goal is for humanity to be healthy, hardy & above the weather.
society has only just turned the corner from the industrial age, and change doesn't happen over night.
you have to be patient!

true ⎯ smog, smoke & fumes are in a way contributing to a somewhat asphyxial atmosphere (i.e. cases of asthma), more so in highly industrialized areas than others.
but to say it's suffocating humanity is an exaggeration.

a good analogy would be that of a cigarette smoker.
yea, it's not the nicest of habits, but it's not an instant killer.
the effects are definitely noticeable in the short term, but it takes a long time for the symptoms to be irreversible ⎯ like ten to twenty years of smoking two packs a day.

another apt parallel would be:
sitting in your car in a garage & letting the engine run, except... the garage isn't even really a garage... it's more like a five acre warehouse.

in short, it's not the best but it's the best we've got at the moment.
this is the trade off humanity made in it's effort to save a little more time.

the industrial age was all about INGENUITY, regardless of the consequences.
the technology age will be all about SUSTAINABILITY.
