"It's not going to be Scorsese's best work, but it's still a notable film, and for nearly three hours, 'The Aviator' proves Howard with a magnificent chapter? Hughes was once brilliant. Scorsese fully shows the time that Hollywood once had, those retro scenes are immersive, and of course, more importantly, Hughes's life.

We all know that Hughes is a great legend, Spruce Goose holds the record for the largest winged plane, and before Hughes started it, no one thought that this giant plane could take to the skies, he was a genius, a billionaire and a playboy. Scorsese doesn't shy away from these things in the film, and he shows the most important scenes in Hughes's life, or the first half of his life before he hid in Las Vegas. The amazing "Angels of Hell" in those days, and Catherine? Hepburn and Ava? Gardner's affections, the construction of the airplane, the test of the airplane, the plane crash, and, of course, the test flight of the spruce goose.

Scorsese uses the language of the lens he is best at, constructing compelling images that make people celebrate Hughes's indelible dream. ”

- Newsweek's famous film critic David? Anson

"It's certainly a hugely creative film, and perhaps in some people's eyes, it's a bit disjointed, but Scorsese does a great job of stringing the details together to bring a living story.

The biggest surprise is still Sean? Don, before that, almost no one thought he could play the role well, the greatest aviator in American history, even though he had played many roles beyond his age. But this time, most people are wrong, Sean's performance is very wonderful, whether it is a 20-year-old playboy or a 40-year-old aircraft tycoon, he has accurately captured the characteristics - of course, he still has to be a little better at the image of a playboy.

You can see Hughes's passion, Hughes's dreams, Hughes's obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Hughes's affection and desire for control in the movie, and you don't think about it when you watch it, Sean? Don acted so well that you would naturally think that this is Howard? Hughes. Sean showed the soul of Hughes, especially the one-man show before the hearing, Hughes's torment and pain, completely displayed in front of people, and it is impossible not to sympathize with the high-spirited aviation entrepreneur of decades ago.

It's a great movie with a great director, a great producer, and a great cast. ”

- Washington Post commentator Stephen? Hunter

"The film is more of a loose gossip tabloid, with Scorsese in precise control of the camera, but mostly on Hughes's private life. I think the audience would rather see how Hughes went from a young hairy boy to a famous aviator, how he designed an airplane and challenged it to finally take to the skies — yes, like the spruce goose at its worst.

Of course, this is not to say that Hughes's private life is not important, and biographical films need to show a person's life in all aspects. In fact, Kate? Blanchett as Catherine? Hepburn is the biggest highlight of the movie, she almost blends in with the retro style, and completely captures Catherine's style.

As for Sean? Don, I can't say that he acted badly, in fact there are some places where he does perform well, the scene of the obsessive-compulsive one-man show is very surprising, and when you think about his actual age, it is even more surprising. But in this movie, except for a few amazing performances, such as the playboy style at the beginning, or the infatuation when the new plane appears, most of the time he can only be considered decent, reading the prescribed lines and showing the prescribed emotions.

Overall, it's a good work, and Scorsese's depiction of a character's life reminds us of that thriving and magnificent era. ”

- Film screenwriter Jay? Rabin

"Mediocre works, Scorsese has lost his former sharpness, has begun to become popular with the public, and the plot of the film is lackluster and long-winded. If you say Kate? If there are any highlights in Blanchett's performance, then Sean? Don's performance was a disaster, and when he appeared on the screen, people just wanted him to hurry away. ”

- Simon, an independent commentator? Hartman

The day after the release of "The Aviator", various reports poured out, and it continued until the New Year of '05. Although it was only in the entertainment section for the first two days, it still occupied a very important column at other times, whether it was print media or online media.

This shows how famous Scorsese is - of course, there are also Sean and two Kate, whether Sean or Kate? Blanchett or Cate? Beckinsale is now a first-line star, and with one of the four major directors in the 80s, the lineup of "The Aviator" can be regarded as luxurious.

What's more, and Aggreko? Baldwin, William? Dafoe, these old drama bones, and Jude? Lowe, Gwen? Stephanie, a very famous actor and singer, makes a cameo, and it is normal to have such treatment.

Most of the comments were positive, albeit with different emphasis, with some saying Scorsese was doing a good job and some thought Kate? Blanchett is eye-catching, and some people think that Sean? Don was surprising. But overall, they all thought "The Aviator" was wonderful and gave it a high score in their own way.

A small number of comments put forward a lot of criticism, and they are also divided into several situations, such as relatively fair, on the facts, some positive and some negative. There are also those who deny it outright and chase someone after it, like the last comment listed above.

As for some of the more bizarre ones, who like this movie, but ridicule a certain actor, there are no yet. After all, the easiest thing for people to do this is Sean, and Sean is the first actor to be the first actor, 90% of the camera revolves around him, if you hate him, then you can't like this movie, so just criticize it together.

But the interesting thing is that no matter how harshly these people criticize, they basically don't mention Sean's age again. Well, it's not accurate to say that, those tabloids who like to make a fuss still take this big article, saying that he can't play the kind of posture that needs to be precipitated over the years, but the criticism that really has something to say is not about this.

In other words, no matter how reluctant they are, most people have to admit that Sean can play the kind of role that transcends his age's temperament, demeanor and image

"In the future, I can pick older characters without necessarily playing the role of a madman, a retarded or a psychopath." In Frederick's office, Sean said with a slight smugness.

He was indeed delighted, and it turned out that the fears at the premiere were completely unwarranted, and although the audience did not give a rating on the one-man show, most of the comments affirmed his performance.

"Sean fully integrates Hughes in this one-man show, making people see the image of a tycoon with great suffering and insecurity in his heart, and no matter how much adventure he takes, he can't control it." Roger? That's how Albert commented.

So, after the New Year, when he came to Frederick's office to discuss what his next goal should be, Sean had the above words.

Not surprisingly, the agent covered his face with his hand, and looking at that look, Sean might be about to cry if he continued to say more.

"Don't do that, Fred, isn't there still Batman Prequel: Time to War this year?" Sean, who knew that he was depressed or something, said comfortingly.

"By the time the movie comes out, it's too late." Frederick said, rolling his eyes.

"Unless it's a box office failure," Sean reminded, "but I don't think so." ”

"Can't you tell, Shaun," Sanders, who came along, shrugged his shoulders, "he's a pessimist through and through." ”

"I'm not a pessimist, Sandy," Frederick retorted, "I thought you, as Sean's agent, should understand the importance of being prepared at all times." ”

"Alright, guys, don't do that, no matter what the topic, it's okay to discuss." Sean was busy playing a round before Sanders could speak to prevent the situation from escalating.

This situation had already appeared when Sanders was an assistant, and it was slowly eased by Sean's mediation, but after Sanders became his agent and slowly formed a team, this contradiction began to appear again, and the two had to pick each other every time they met. Just like now, Frederick's worries are understandable, when the movie is released after the box office is bad, it will affect the value of the actors, especially those commercial productions, so when the movie is being hotly promoted and is generally favored by public opinion, negotiate a new script with a big studio, even if there is a bad box office, there is a chance to turn over.

So Frederick was talking about this before the official release of "The Aviator", and now he just brings it up again, although the box office of the movie is okay, the total box office has reached 50 million by mid-January - the distributor only arranged 40 theaters when it was released, and it slowly increased to 1800 in the second week, and it has not exceeded 2000 so far, and the box office of 50 million in five weeks is already good, after all, this is a literary movie, and it cannot be compared with commercial masterpieces.

But this does not prevent Frederick from taking advantage of the topic to play, hoping that Sean will read a few more scripts and strive to get a good role before the release of the Batman prequel that has been scheduled for this summer.

"I know you're busy, Sean, and you're going to be at all kinds of events, and you're going to get the word out and keep your image," Frederick said, glancing at Sanders, "but there's still something to do." ”

Well, after Sanders became an agent, he took away a lot of his power, and he took it on his own initiative, and Sanders's team is now responsible for Sean's image packaging, and Frederick is understandably unhappy. However, Sanders is Sean's best friend after all, so he has to be a little partial no matter what, and he can only grieve Frederick for the time being.

However, before Sean could be appeased, a somewhat cold, gnashing voice came from the door: "Can you come out, Sean?" ”
