The Aviator (2004) is so relatable


Recommended Posts

My OCD affects me in a very similar way that it affected the great filmmaker and pilot Howard Hughes. I have even learnt Leo DiCaprio himself also had OCD which is awesome! Martin Scorsese's The Aviator (2004) is so relatable as someone who lives with OCD. 😄 Anyone else seen this movie and found it relatable?

Yes I just watched this film. Martin Scorcese's Biopic of aviator, inventor, film maker and individual who took on America's corporate monolpoly of aviation travel and won. He also made some daring films and as an individual to on Hollywood's corporate domination of the film industry and won.

He also designed with Richard Palmer the H-1 which he flew at 352 MPH breaking the US speed record. In 1938 he flew around the world in 3 days/19hours a new record at that time.

Stellar cast of actors and engineers in his life and stellar cast in the film.

His mother instilled in him a fear of germs and infection at a young age and he had an obsessional personality. After a couple of serious plane crashes, and the immense stress of managing multiple careers and companies while taking on those corporate monopolies, his OCD took over his life.(free on ITVX)
