Talk:Hell's Angels (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How much money did the film ultimately lose (or make)?
[edit] The Aviator
In section "The Aviator," : "The film depicts Hughes' struggles with Nielan and the extravangant extents to which he went to ensure accuracy throughout production."
This is nonsense. That part of the film possibly depicts Hughes' struggle with Noah Dietrich over financing, but Nielan is portrayed nowhere in the film. Nor is any other director. Hughes is portrayed in the director role from the first scene in the film covering his Hollywood career.
The "extravagant extents to which [Hughes] went [sic] to ensure accuracy," clause is also off the mark. The film depicts the extravagant measures Hughes implemented to ensure that the dogfight footage looked more convincing on the screen. There is a world of difference between the two concepts.

- Just cleaned the section up somewhat. GeeJo 12:49, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Slightly modified the grammar and replaced the phrase 'part of the movie' to a more descriptive phrase 'act of the movie'.
Added a date to the phrase, today's money, at the bottom of the first section - I guess the OP hopes that this page will be around for a few years to come :-) Also, streamlined the sentence a little (it was a touch informal and had two prices in 1930's and today's dollars - couldn't figure out why...) --Oscar Bravo 10:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
