knowing how "real life" movies get messed up

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2006)

I never assume that movies based on real events are even close to accurate, with the license they take and the time limitations, a movie can never tell a story true to life. I think everyone pretty much knows this, or should. Still, this movie remains one of the best, if not for the factualness of the story, the acting far outweighs any deviation from the true facts. I watch movies for entertainment, and this is very entertaining and engaging, right up there with "to hell and back" with Audie Murphy, who's real deeds far exceed those in the movie. Alec Guiness cannot be equaled in his role in this movie, true to life or not. you notice this is one movie hollyweird has not tried to remake, they just could not. They do not even try to make quality movies like this these days.
