Elämä kuin elokuvaa

Eilen tuli vuokratuksi kaksi elokuvaa, joista Martin Scorsesen Lentäjä jäi odottamaan tätä päivää. Leffa kiinnosti. Niinpä heti aamiaisen jälkeen - yhä yöpaidassa - oli ruvettava tunnustelemaan, miltä tällainen monin Oscarein palkittu elokuva näyttää näin pyhäinpäivänä, kun ulkona satelee räntää. Aika pian selvisi, ettei sitä voinut edes hetkeksi keskeyttää. Vangitseva tarina, etevä toteutus! Vilkaisin hiukan Wikipediaa ja löysin sieltä pitkän artikkelin ohjaajasta. Kopioin tähän Lentäjää (The Aviator) koskevan osan: Scorsese's film The Aviator (2004), was a lavish, large-scale biopic of director, producer, legendary eccentric, multi-millionaire, and aviation pioneer Howard Hughes. The film received highly positive reviews,[34] [35][36][37][38] The film also met with widespread box office success and gained Academy recognition. The Aviator was nominated for six Golden Globe awards, including Best Picture - Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor - Drama for Leonardo DiCaprio. It won three, including Best Picture & Actor - Drama. In January of 2005, The Aviator became the most-nominated film of the 77th Academy Award nominations, nominated in 11 categories including Best Picture. The film also garnered nominations in nearly all of the other major categories, including a fifth Best Director nomination for Scorsese, Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actress (Cate Blanchett), and Alan Alda for Best Supporting Actor. Despite having a leading tally, the film ended up with only five Oscars: Best Supporting Actress, Art Direction, Costume Design, Film Editing and Cinematography. Scorsese lost again, this time to director Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby (which also won Best Picture).
