question

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2006)

Anyone know how true to the "real story" this movie was? I was wonderin because a few events, like Knockout Ned's killer happening to be the son of the guy he killed in the bank, (coincidentally linking it with the point where Ned loses his compunction for killing, making him no worse than Li'l Ze, and therefore propping up the circle of violence.) This seems too dramatically important. I mean some beautiful points were made, but it seems they are made poignant only by placement in the film, not by their content.
OK, new question(Assuming my hunch is correct). Do you think a more objective view would have made for as good a movie?
