David Poland has written about Martin Scorsese's tribute to the spirit that propelled Howard Hughes: "Better than any of the other movies nominated, The Aviator offers a look at us...at the power of outrageous daring...not just of one man, but of a culture that shouts our aspirations across the globe." To which I must reply, "Better than any of the other movies nominated, The Aviator offers a look at our willingness to swallow rankly phony CG images that violate any sense of organic, first-hand reality...that promote the negligible effect of CG sequences that blatantly announcing themselves as such...all to celebrate not just a single willful man, but a culture that shouts our aspirations across the globe."
