Auteur director Scorsese begins his movie with the making of the war film Hell’s Angels and paints Hughes as a naïve but idealistic director completely new to the moviemaking business. The truth is, he already had some experience in the film industry, having produced the Academy Award-winning Two Arabian Knights. While Hell’s Angels was an undeniab...
Cate Blanchett won an Oscar for her authentic portrayal of screen icon Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator, who was shown to be in a close, long-term relationship with Hughes following the production of Hell’s Angels. The movie neglected to reflect that Cary Grant introduced the pair several years after the premiere of his war film. The biopic was del...
The Aviator does acknowledge Hughes’ contentious relationship with Gardner (Kate Beckinsale), but the reality was considerably more alarming. Hughes wasn’t just a controlling boyfriend. There was one occasion where their fight reportedly turned physical. Hughes is said to have punched Gardner, dislocating her jaw, and she thought she had killed him...
Scorsese’s movie partially details Hughes’ reputation as a playboy, casually addressing the numerous female stars to which he was supposedly linked. There is an ominous scene where he appears to “audition” Hepburn’s replacement as his lover, with the character a composite of teenage actress Faith Domergue (Kelli Garner) and star Mamie Van Doren. Th...
Howard Hughes was an eccentric genius who obsessed over his work, but The Aviator leaves out a peculiar period in the early 1930s where he was employed as a baggage handler for American Airlines. Using the alias “Charles Howard”, he was soon promoted to co-pilot before disappearing after his real identity was uncovered. This event recalls another h...
One of The Aviator’s most memorable sequences showcases Hughes’ 1946 plane crash in Beverly Hills. The biopic accurately depicts the horror of the event, including his life-threatening injuries and the destruction of three houses. He was rescued by Marine Master Sgt. William L. Durkin, who appears only briefly. However, Hughes was said to have paid...
Scorsese had the difficult task of portraying germophobe Hughes’ obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) during a time when there was no medical definition. The Aviator did a commendable job of conveying his suffering and the mental deterioration which plagued his later life, but once again changed the timeline to better suit the underdog story it want...
Scorsese’s epic documents Hughes’ rivalry between his Trans World Airlines and Juan Trippe’s (Alec Baldwin) Pan American World Airways, which culminated in a Senate hearing where the disgraced pioneer was forced to defend himself against accusations of wasting government money on building aircraft never delivered to the military. The Aviatorprovide...
At the triumphant climax of the movie, Hughes proves his detractors wrong by finally flying the Hercules, mockingly dubbed “the Spruce Goose”. On November 2nd, 1947, Hughes piloted the massive craft himself, which is shown to soar over newsreel cameras capturing the historic moment. However, this was considerably exaggerated for greater impact in T...
