In reality, the hearing into Hughes alleged misuse of funds was, not surprisingly, much more complex. Some have claimed that the Texan fabricated the story that a business rival had bribed the Senator, investigating Hughes. This was part of a clever strategy to get out of his legal troubles. The Texan was never charged with wasting government money, and the investigation was soon dropped. However, there are lingering suspicions about Hughes business activities. The movie does not mention the Texan’s role as a philanthropist and that he founded the world-renowned Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) which has developed many pioneering medications and treatments. <ref> McCook, A.

====Conclusion====<i>The Aviator concentrates </i> focuses on Hughes during his prime life between when he was a leading figure in Hollywood, business, moved to Los Angeles and aviationflew the Spruce Goose. The movie does capture successfully captures the personality aspects of Hughes who was a 's personalities, complex, tireless, and charismatic figure who charisma, that that captivated a generationAmerica in the 1920s through the late 1940s. It also captures the man’s essential loneliness and demonstrates how he became increasingly crippled over time his growing worsening mental instabilityillness. However, its the film's explanation for the cause of his mental health problems is too simplistic. The movie does portray also shows tries to focuses Hughes 's reputation as a great womaniser womanizer. His relationships with Katherine Hepburn and Ava Gradner are explored in the movie, but neglects to show that The Avaitor ignores both his marriage and how he sexually harrassed women throughout his movie career. Hughes was actually married for some of the film. It also portrays him as a great aviator and there is some truth to thisan outstanding pilot who took extraordinary risks. Whether he Scorsese’s motion picture does capture the brilliance and his slow descent into mental illness and even alludes to his later years that were marred by instability, when he lived as a virtual recluse. However, The Aviator, fails to address many issues in Hughes life such as his often-controversial business practices and the dark side of his womanizing.
