* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Not entirely, since the movie does show Hughes' possessive nature, his paranoid wire tapping of Ava Gardner and his obsessive nature but it plays down a lot of Hughes' shadier and sleazier side and frames him as a ByronicHero. Likewise, the film stops in the late 1940s, right before Hughes enters his darkest phase (the purchase of Creator/RKOPictures and his hermetic retreat). Some critics have noted that the film is a movie about Hughes as he might have made a movie about himself.

* MyBelovedSmother: The opening and closing scenes of Howard's childhood heavily imply that his mental illness was triggered [[FreudianExcuse by his mother]]: She constantly reinforces to him that he will never be safe from infection, and she keeps him [[AlwaysAChildToParent infantilized]] by hand-washing him naked in a bathtub while he is already at the age where he can wash himself. While it has been established that child abuse can contribute to mental illness, the reality and cause of mental disorders are far more complex than the film portrays.
