Howard Hughes

I just saw The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes on DVD. It was ok, although 2 hours 40 minutes was too long, thank god for the pause button.

It was not the Howard Hughes I wanted to see. I wanted to see how Howard got his billions, how he managed his people, more about his involvments in the different conspiracies during those times. What I got was Howard do crazy airplane antics, and going out with Hollywood starlets and burning money with his wild projects.
One shining moment in the film was when he went to the Senate hearing committee investigating him and he lashed out at the the senator. This was what I wanted to see. Howard Hughes biography can be read here.
