Great movie, but FALSE

Rating: 2/10 (9 June 2014)

I don't care for this movie only because it makes a grossly false claim. As a film it has very good qualities, but the introduction states that this movie depicts a true story, which is an outright lie perpetrated by the Coen brothers to mislead the public and boost ticket sales. The false statement should be removed, and the Academy should not have allowed this film into competition until it is removed. The film also depicts the people of Minnesota and North Dakota in a derogatory stereotype, which is also false. For decades conservatives and right wingers have denounced the movie industry as immoral, which I've always found to be totally untrue. But when idiots like this start lying and presenting false or inaccurate information as fact, it starts to makes me wonder. TELL THE TRUTH for crap sake!
