RE: ALWAYS Remember the difference between fact and fiction.

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2008)

When viewing movies based upon historical events, remember that the movie is STILL a fictional representation of the events... unless it is a documentary.
Always remember that fiction is not historically accurate. However, a film can give you the feel of the times, with the fashions, the settings, the cars, the customs, manner of speech, the beliefs at the time, etc.
Just remember the film is not merely a documentation of what actually happened, and exactly what everybody said. Often there are "composite" characters based upon putting two or more actual people together into one character.
