Fatty, you are leaving yourself wide open on this one...the amount of 'historical' or 'based on a true story' films that have no relation to reality is literally endless.




True enough. Most Americans know no history so it doesn't matter to them when it's fudged up. But, still, I'd really hope they'd notice if somehow Hitler got killed instead of survived ... but, in a country where many morons think the Bible is a science textbook, I guess anything is possible.


Hollywood even makes "political" alterations like the one in U-571, in historical-fiction works as well. In the book "Master & Commander" the British are chasing an American frigate. In the movie, it's the hated French.

I guess if they did the burning of the White House in a movie now it would be the French or maybe a Bin Laden ancestor.

The one that annoyed me the most in recent years was "Troy". Paris surviving and running off with Helen. Agamemnon dying there instead of at his wife's hand upon his return.
