I think everyone is familiar with this name. Through the past history, we will know that he is one of the most influential figures in America. Through the screen, we can also know his experience. The protagonist in the film Leaflet played by Leonardo DiCaprio, a famous Hollywood movie star, is the prototype of Hughes.
I got to know him from Voyager, and I was completely attracted by Xiao Li's performance. He imitated Hughes, elegant, charming, rational and crazy, and pursued his ideals hard. When he descended from the sky in a huge plane, it indicated that the road to the future had set sail.
When I seriously investigated this work, I met Hughes, a man who was stronger and more persistent than the movie.
1February 24th, 905, 1905, Hughes was born. Within a few years, his genius attribute exploded rapidly. At the age of 1 1, Hughes organized his own radio station and made the first one in Houston. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, he invented the moped. 13 years old, can assemble a motorcycle; /kloc-started to learn to fly at the age of 0/4 and has flying experience.
18 years old, Hughes' parents died, and his father's inheritance could not be inherited until 2 1 at any time. As a last resort, Hughes tried to persuade the court to buy 25% of the shares of Hughes Tools Company (Baker Hughes Company, USA) that his relatives should have shared, making him the sole owner of this company, which also made him the largest business tycoon in the world.
But Hughes' dream is not to drill for oil. 1924, howard hughes became interested in movies, so he moved to Los Angeles, California. I bought the right to operate the 125 cinema and started my career as a producer and director.
His acting career is not smooth, especially his high seriousness and concentration in dealing with things, and his character of never giving up. After accepting failures again and again, he insisted on hiring the best employees, investing the most money and cooperating with the best directors, which opened up a bright road for him. Finally, in 1929, howard hughes invested nearly $4 million to make the war romance Hellscream. Hughes directed the film with Edmund goulding. Not only that, for the success of the film, he also changed the original heroine and became a stuntman himself. The plane crashed and survived, a lot of money was exported crazily, and a lot of manpower kept coming. Finally, in 1930, Hughes' expensive air combat film Hell's Angels was released in the United States. The film was nominated for Best Photography at the 3rd Academy Awards, and the box office was even more impressive than the investment, reaching $8 million, leaving a surprising dawn in the unprecedented history of the United States. After that, he spent $9 million to buy RKO Film Studio (Radio and Television China Film Company) and produced many works, which ended in the final film "Dark War Plan".
Speaking of which, it's not grand enough. He is most famous for his identity as a pilot. He loves airplanes and has an irresistible obsession with flying. In this way, he established Hughes Aircraft Company, and the first aircraft manufactured by H 1 broke the French world record for the first time. H 1B once again broke the world record by flying over the continental United States (from burbank to Newark) without landing for 7 hours and 28 minutes, and was received by Roosevelt. Howard hughes flew the Lockheed 14-N2 "Super electra" twin-engine transport plane, once again breaking the record of 18 hours and seven days of round-the-world flight created by Willie Post five years ago and completing the promotion of "1939 World Expo". In so many magnificent undertakings, he worked too hard, flew in person, and risked his life in countless failures. He had to be hospitalized. Not only that, he devoted himself to pursuing his dream of flying, owed huge debts and had to continue to borrow money to mortgage the company. He was also accused of offending the American aviation tycoon, and finally persuaded the congressman with his intelligence, wit, determination and sincerity, and won.
Moreover, in 1965, Hughes Aircraft Company developed a commercial communication satellite weighing about 38 kilograms, and with its 6000 telephone lines and 12 color TV transmission functions, it opened up the TV and telephone network between Europe and America. 1966, Hughes Aircraft Company built an unmanned spacecraft for the United States. This spaceship landed on the moon for the first time, which laid a solid foundation for the subsequent manned landing on the moon and became Hughes' most historic commercial achievement. Throughout the 20th century, Hughes was a pioneer in the aerospace field in the United States and even the world. Hughes Aircraft Company founded by Hughes invented the first practical laser, the first synchronous satellite and the first lunar probe.
In his later years, Hughes established a laboratory set up by some doctors and scientists. Through the profits of Hughes Aircraft Company as working expenses, a Hughes Medical College named after him was founded. Hughes signed a scientific paper devoted to the basic research of "the origin of life". Established Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute, which is a non-profit medical research institution in the United States. It is to promote the effective application of human knowledge in basic science (mainly medical research and medical education) and the field of human interests. After that, scientists focused on cell biology, immunology, genetics, neuroscience and structural biology.
1976, howard hughes died, and his medical research institute inherited all his property; Until 2 1 century, howard hughes Medical Research Institute was the second largest medical research fund in the world, with more than a dozen Nobel Prize winners and assets under management of nearly $20 billion.
His brilliant life was accompanied by many roles, such as business tycoon, investor, pilot, aviation engineer, film producer and philanthropist. All kinds of glamorous titles are just stages in his life. Some people say that he is an idealist, but I disagree. He is an actor who has great goals and puts them into practice. All his ideals are not utopia, and all his actions are the best.
Howard hughes was one of the most interesting figures in the 1940s and 1950s. He is an inventor, adventurer, millionaire, romantic lover, and absolutely crazy.
Howard hughes, the "flying tycoon", is indeed a legendary pilot. He created a miracle in the flying world. He has everything the world envies, money and power.
This is people's evaluation of him. People can understand his beauty, but people won't remember what he did, which is why he can be beautiful, but few people can be like him.
He has obsessive-compulsive disorder and neurosis, which happened to be the same problem when I was young. It's better to taste life than to die. I can't help myself. Maybe this is what I love most about him. He expressed all his shortcomings from another angle. He forced himself to be perfect on the road of chasing his dreams again and again, and often thought twice. In these things, obsessive-compulsive disorder perfected him and changed him.
Howard hughes's life is the most ups and downs and bizarre I have ever seen. He experienced everything, including his relationship with his mother, his struggle with health, his obsession with obsessive-compulsive disorder, becoming a flying champion, the first billionaire in the United States, turning to Hollywood, becoming a producer against the film system, against big consortia and monopolists, and even against senators. He can never be with a woman forever, because he always unconsciously regards the woman in front of him as his plane. He always wants a faster and smoother plane and a bigger turbine.
This is Xiao Li's evaluation of him, which I think is very good and comprehensive. Yes, he can fulfill himself in great pain. Few people can do it, and almost no one will be so persistent. He thinks everything is exciting and more peaceful. He wants to find meaning and peace in repeated stimuli, hoping to get a sense of security from them, just as his attitude towards his lover is brilliant. There is a kind of child who lacks love and security. It was because he was so excited that he forgot a little stability. Even if all the light is focused on him, he will only feel uncomfortable and painful. This is a problem faced by a man standing on a high place. However, his illness deepened this point.
In this way, at the end of a century, there appeared a man whose greatness and deeds were praised by people. This man is a genius, a madman, a man I admire.
