Along the way, the virtues and downsides of organized religion, pornography, capitalism and free speech are explored. It is the second of screenwriting duo Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski's trilogy of biopics of "anti-great men," after Ed Wood and before Man on the Moon (about Andy Kaufman).The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, for Best Actor (Harrelson) and Best Director (Forman). | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Larry himself freely admits that he's a sleazebag, but the movie clearly positions him on the right side of the debate, as opposed to the self-righteous (and hypocritical) puritans he opposes. | |

| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_2d92c43c | comment |
Little "No": Larry's response to being asked to take an oath in court. It's leads to a Big "NO!" from the judge wondering why and Larry explains that as an atheist, an oath to God means nothing to him. The judge just shakes his head and asks him to affirm instead, which Larry agrees to. | |

Kangaroo Court | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_5d3e7c6 | comment |
Kangaroo Court: In Larry's first trial, evidence in favor of Flint is denied, specifically magazines with similar content as Hustler. The judge also sentences him to 25 years and denies bail. Subverted in Larry's later trials, when the judges are clearly more frustrated by Flynt's appalling behavior, a retaliation for his earlier mistreatment. Larry lets the judge (played by Flynt himself) have it at the end of his first trial. | |

George Jetson Job Security: Larry fires his staff over the phone from a mental hospital. They think he's just angry, or not in his right mind, so they keep right on working. When he returns, he's glad to see them. After he come back from his drugged up stupor in 1982, Larry fires the vice president in charge of marketing who was telling him about President Ronald Reagan and Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority and how it had shifted their business plan. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Not "bad" exactly but Larry never lets his unashamed sleaziness and opportunism get in the way of being a loving son who who cares deeply about his parents and eagerly uses his wealth to provide for them. A deleted scene even had him show them he had an exact replica of the house he grew up in built in his new mansion because he never wanted to forget where he came from. | |

Money Fetish | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_a545e2a4 | comment |
Money Fetish: Hinted at: Althea as she totals his sales figures and then requests that Larry take off his pants, explaining that she's never fucked a millionaire before. On the one hand, they were a couple before he made that much money; on the other, it's only after he's rich that she offers up marriage as a possibility. On a third hand, Larry is initially surprised - because he thinks she's suggesting monogamy, which both agree is very much not on the cards. | |

Take That! | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: In-Universe, everything Larry does when he comes back in 1983 is meant as a retaliation against the U.S. Government, Moral Guardians, and anyone else he can think of due to his frustration with how there was no investigation of his getting shot back in 1978. The Campari ad parody with Jerry Falwell is the pinnacle. | |

Amoral Attorney: Inverted: Most of the lawyers, even Isaacman, are against Flynt's erratic public behavior. Isaacman forces Larry into following decorum to remain his counsel. Charles Keating is a straighter example, as he would be one of the central figures in the S&L scandal of the 1980s. | |

It's Not Porn, It's Art | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_c86b7046 | comment |
It's Not Porn, It's Art: Oddly enough this argument is never made specifically, it is simply discussed that although disgusting it should be allowed under the freedom of speech clause. | |

Interplay of Sex and Violence | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_c8ba12ee | comment |
Interplay of Sex and Violence: Used to argumentative effect during a speech Larry makes about why what he does shouldn't be illegal as photos and scenes of violence and sex play are interspersed in the background. | |

Idea Bulb | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_d2b8cd85 | comment |
Idea Bulb: According to The People vs. Larry Flynt: The Shooting Script, the scene where Larry figures out the best way to photograph a woman's vagina was meant by the writers, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, as a parody of the traditional biopic "lightbulb-over-the-head" moment. | |

Hypocrite | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue makes a point of noting some of the less-than-savoury aspects of Larry's self-righteous political and Moral Guardian opponents, specifically Charles Keating. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: The Supreme Court Justices, who press Isaacman on how the Constitution protects obscenity, and rule in his favor when he gives a decent answer. | |

Composite Character | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Edward Norton plays a character named Alan Isaacman, after the lawyer who defended Flynt before the Supreme Court. This character essentially stands in for all the legal assistants Flynt had employed. For instance, he is depicted being wounded in the 1978 shooting attack on Flynt; that event happened to Gene Reeves, Jr. | |

Stock Legal Phrases | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_e7968ad2 | comment |
Stock Legal Phrases: When a good deal of the movie occurs in the courts, with the dialogue taken from transcripts of Larry's various court appearances, these are inevitable. At least one is averted when Larry refuses to "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" as he has recently become an Atheist. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick | |
| The People vs. Larry Flynt / int_eef90616 | comment |
Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: According to The People vs. Larry Flynt: The Shooting Script, when the Real Life Larry Flynt found out about the movie, he met with the writers to go over the script as it was at that point. His objections qualified for this. | |
