The Aviator

Hello again. I had a fun 3 days off. Laundry, shopping, buying Vanity Fair's cover on Star Wars, and interviewing for a volunteer position. I also saw The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio and even splurged on popcorn and pop, which led to the restroom during a panicking crash scene. There were about 7 people in the theater, on a Monday afternoon. It was a bit long face wondering when this thing will be over, but that could be from the urge to use the restroom. Then I wondered what is this thing about, Howard Hughes hobnobbing with stars or his insanity. That question was answered, both. I guess I should have figured that out in the opening scene with Howard's mother making him spell quarentine, he feared germs leading to his insanity taking over his brain at the ending scene. The ending was a bit abrupt after a long duration of the man's film and airplane career. The part I like the most and think Mr. DiCaprio did an excellent job in was the congress hearings where His Character was twitching with nerves of all the pressmen snapping his photo constantly as he spoke and sat silently, but managed the courage to stand up to Alan Alda's character and turn the tables around asking Him questions about his dealings with Alec Baldwin's character. That was excellent acting skills. I am probably one of the few people in the world who can separate The Character from The Actor. When an actor makes the audience believe his character is real, they're doing a good job. It also made me think a bit more about my book being made into a movie. I'm sure people will ask when it gets published who I would like the cast to be. I'll answer that in my next posting. Post soon. Bye!
