When he says that to Hepburn's mother about having money I literally cheered him on. I was so caught up in being annoyed and yeah, count on Hughes to be a badass. I so sincerely hope this was based on something from their real relationship....lol.
Why are people siding with DiCaprio's character?? I spent the whole scene being annoying that some yahoo enginerd would wear that ill-fitting jacket to dinner with smart, respectable people!

@xSxOxUxRxMxIxLxKxx He's an actor playing an aviator/innovator, film maker, investor, ceo of The Tool company, a man suffering with ocd...in short leo is playing the most badass, crazy motherfucker to walk the face of the earth, not an actor....
"Im not some paranoid and deranged millionaire...Godammnit, I'm a billionaire!" - Howard Hughes...
In this scene he is stuck with a family of folks that are the epitemy of everything wrong with hollywood.
@AustinCKurtis I don't think that's the whole intention of the scene. It's at least in part portraying Hughes' hypersensitivity brought on by his OCD, making the conversation appear more aggravating and jumpy than it would to someone else.
@Britslovesocialism Yes, this single scene out of hundreds in a movie about Howard Hughes brilliantly demonstrates the evil degeneracy of socialism in all its hideous forms, I agree, Britslovesocialism.
@HPOL001 While this scene may seem frustrating, the dynamics of the Hepburn family was something which Huges would have never have acclimated had her family been more convivial to strangers. The Hepburns were NOT snobs but were close knit. The family enjoyed many holidays and summers as a group, and Katherine was extremely close to her parents and brother. The family was well read and intellectuals, and their conviviality was a more to which Huges did not experience in his family,
@directorlog Not to mention the tension over accuracy on this thread. While the dynamics of this dinner scene impossible to know, I think it's very possible the Hepburns WERE elitists who yes, always had money. Then again so did Hughes. But he WORKED HIS ASS OFF! And for those saying "the Hepburns hated this movie" (her parents were dead), what's your source? Of course no one wants to be portrayed this way. But watching the real Hepburn I could EASILY see her coming from a background like this.
I had an experience like this once, not while eating though... The thing is I was trying to speak but everybody was interrupting me, they were talking about silly things, each one of them about something different... I wanted to scream... I hate when people interrupt me while I'm speaking... :(
I understand Howard here (and I like the scene, too. Really well done in my opinion)
By the way, Leo's performance as Howard is THE BEST, I can't imagine another actor instead of him
the most annoying four minutes of film ever put on the big screen,, the scene is so rehearsed, fake and unrealistic.. im sure they are all talking like that at once about ten different subjects, ruined the movie for me..
@V4D3R no im not, it really did ruin the movie for me? The Hepburns hated this as well and were not like this! they werent the aristocrats as portrayed in the movie and never met Hughes, but would have been respectful of him had they since he was a nationally if not world known figure.. they wouldnt have treated him like one of the help and asked him to "speak up" ridicolus... you must have been the person who didnt realize bruce willis was dead until the end of the movie in Sixth sense.
@flycentro123 Cate Blanchet did as much research on Katherine Hepburn possible and NAILED it! How do you know they never met Hughes? What's your source? I DO NOT CARE IF I AM WRONG. But Scorsese made this film accurate as possible. The press conference was verbatim. I agree there is no way he could have known the dynamics of this dinner. I just want to know your source because I would be VERY surprised if Scorsese were to suggest they met Hughes if they didn't and throw in complete bullshit.

The Hepburns weren't that rich and I don't think they ever lived this luxuriously or formally, given all the photos available of them at home and what Katharine herself wrote. But they were smart, full of vitality, imaginative and broke just about every mold they could break.
Here in Europe we love liberal stars with class...not the junks recruited from waitresses...Katharine Hepburn was definitely one of the few thinking stars in Hollywood not afraid to speak out...probably because she came from a rich background and was therefore not exclusively dependent on her Hollywood salary...
@iDreamOfJulia It's a Kate Hepburn impression and Cate does a very good job. However, I do not think it was Oscar worthy.
Blanchett is one of my fave actors and I think she deserved the Best Actress Oscar for "Elizabeth" (which went to the terribly overrated actress Gwyneth Paltrow) and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "I'm Not There." When one compares the Dylan performance to the Hepburn one, it's like glaringly obvious that the Academy mucked up.
They are such snobs!! I could feel Howard's aggravation building through the whole scene! And who invites your daughter's ex-husband when you are meeting her new boyfriend? And though Howard Hughes always had money as well he didn't just sit and do nothing- he actually used his money to do good things
"You don't care about money because you've always had it." In fact, Hughes, orphaned at 18, inherited $871,518—or $9.4 million in 2003 dollars; by 1938, thanks to other people’s astute management of Hughes Tool Co., he was worth $60 million (three-quarters of a billion dollars in today’s money). He was a far wealthier man than Hepburn’s father, a surgeon and urologist.
@melodia155 We're all very impressed with your fact finding what with having the internet and all, but the reason for all those facts are unjustified. Howard didn't make the absurd statement of not caring about money...the woman did. He called her on her own B.S. She was the one that made an ignorant statement, so I don't see what that has to do with Howards' financial advantages.
@melodia155 Remember Katharine Hepburn was a member of the Houghton family and heir to the Corning Glass Works fortune. Though Hughes was wealthy at the time, it is safe to say that the Hepburns were quite affluent and considered "old money".
@lacpof@daekru92 lacpof's point is well taken. But all I was trying to say is that the scene implies that Hughes was someone who didn't inherit money and was thus different than the Hepburns, when in fact he did inherit most of his fortune. It's not an honest scene.
Hughes' statement did not contradict his financial standings. His statement brought to the surface that a person that always has AND flourishes on money does not have the right to say "I don't care about money."
Funny.... most of my well-meaning socialist friends are elitists with money. They seem genuinely unaware that SOMEONE had to work to earn it in the first place! These people, the Hepburns, epitomize that mindset.
@worldlylass No. The point here is that if you don't listen, you shouldn't speak. Just as you didn't really see what was going on in this scene, you shouldn't comment about it.
@LexiixoxRoxx It's a scene from Martin Scorcese's The Aviator, which is a brilliant and probably mis-marketed film. Hughes and Hepburn did have a relationship but I doubt a scene like this really played out. If you can find Leonardo's character to be sympathetic in this scene, then it's a good representation of the whole movie: An afflicted man in the terrifying real world where discerning your friends from your enemies will save you.
@jacobestes Ah, I see. It looks as though it would be a good film. Katharine Hepburn is actually one of my favorite actresses. And yes, I can definitely sympathize with his character in this scene.
I hear Howard also had an affair with Bette Davis - they should have brought in Winslet to play her (another Kate& Lleo reunion). Oh, and Drea de Matteo should have played Ava Gardner.
classic liberalism. people that practice this sort of behavior are called "limousine liberals." Sure is easy to be liberal when you don't have to worry about money, right?
Only Mrs. Hepburn was. They were also near-nudists and the guy with the camera is Kate's ex-husband Luddy who had a bad habit of hanging around after the divorce. Awkward.
@jovidman69 The Hepburns were far from filthy rich, her father was a working doctor. This film makes them seem as rich and as tightly wound as the Rockefellers.
It's quite badly edited isn't it? When the scene shifts from the garden to dining room scene, it takes a moment for you to realize wats happening. But I love the movie.
terrible...terrible contrived real life or film it was all garbage- deception- affairs- money money money- these people were Madoff before Madoff- corrupt to the hilt. Rude people whose only claim to fame was their fake accents....
No. She was from CT. It was the way people were trained to speak back then: it was considered "classy", so to speak. Not British, but not quite American either.
You know this is a movie that is based on recollections of the truth, so try investigating the facts before making such a harsh judgement. Try "Kate Remembers" it's the only book written by someone who knew Katherine Hepburn. She was from a rich family, because they were educated and became artists or doctors. And because of this education they were against Racism and Sexism which made them outcasts in their town. If that makes them snobs then I wish we were all snobs too.
yeah her mom, while a suffragist was an heiress to corning glass, and her dad was a wealthy doctor - so they've always had money - (even when a tornado blew away their house, they just built another one) - kate was also college-educated, especially when in those times few woman were - so yeah they were snobs, far-left, atheists. Not to say thats wrong, just wanted to give history on her.
The hepburns were snotty socialists who would not have invited a bum off the street into their home but would have gladly expected you to. What Howard said to them was right on. I seriously doubt that they worked hard for their money, certainly not as the average American does every single day. Stuck up and elitist, they are the very picture of what is wrong about socialism. I hope Howard actually did say this to them. They deserved it.
The Hepburns might always had money, but they knew the value of hard work moreso than most New England bluebloods, and actually gave their money to a lot of charitable organizations whose causes they believed in. They know the value of working for a living.
Damn but wasn't the Mother the most annoying of that pack of smug little hypocrite New England snobs. Despite the lack of historical accuracy it's one of the more memorable parts of the movie and I cheered when he effectively told them all to go fuck themselves.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! SHE WAS SPECTACULAR PLAYING KATHARINE!!.. maybe thats why she won an oscar for her role?!?!?!?! i thought cate was flawless when i first saw this movie! an oscar worthy performance

I hear Howard also had an affair with Bette Davis - they should have brought in Winslet to play her (another Kate& Lleo reunion). Oh, and Drea de Matteo should have played Ava Gardner.

Cate Blanchett is awesome in this film, a well deserved Oscar
sergjvi 1 year ago
@sergjvi I love Blanchett, but did not care for this performance (I also hated the film)
I thought Cate's Bob Dylan in I'm Not There was much more Oscar deserving than this Hepburn impression.

classic liberalism. people that practice this sort of behavior are called "limousine liberals." Sure is easy to be liberal when you don't have to worry about money, right?

Only Mrs. Hepburn was. They were also near-nudists and the guy with the camera is Kate's ex-husband Luddy who had a bad habit of hanging around after the divorce. Awkward.

@jovidman69 The Hepburns were far from filthy rich, her father was a working doctor. This film makes them seem as rich and as tightly wound as the Rockefellers.

every1 at the table needs to loosen up a little. maybe smoke a bowl or get drunk. it wouldn't make them any ruder or obnoxious at the table.

You know this is a movie that is based on recollections of the truth, so try investigating the facts before making such a harsh judgement. Try "Kate Remembers" it's the only book written by someone who knew Katherine Hepburn. She was from a rich family, because they were educated and became artists or doctors. And because of this education they were against Racism and Sexism which made them outcasts in their town. If that makes them snobs then I wish we were all snobs too.
aunki 2 years ago 7
yeah her mom, while a suffragist was an heiress to corning glass, and her dad was a wealthy doctor - so they've always had money - (even when a tornado blew away their house, they just built another one) - kate was also college-educated, especially when in those times few woman were - so yeah they were snobs, far-left, atheists. Not to say thats wrong, just wanted to give history on her.
joemamak88 2 years ago 4
In that tornado, Katharine lost her 1933-34 Best Actress Oscar, which was later recovered intact. Just some more history.

The hepburns were snotty socialists who would not have invited a bum off the street into their home but would have gladly expected you to. What Howard said to them was right on. I seriously doubt that they worked hard for their money, certainly not as the average American does every single day. Stuck up and elitist, they are the very picture of what is wrong about socialism. I hope Howard actually did say this to them. They deserved it.

The Hepburns might always had money, but they knew the value of hard work moreso than most New England bluebloods, and actually gave their money to a lot of charitable organizations whose causes they believed in. They know the value of working for a living.

Damn but wasn't the Mother the most annoying of that pack of smug little hypocrite New England snobs. Despite the lack of historical accuracy it's one of the more memorable parts of the movie and I cheered when he effectively told them all to go fuck themselves.
