The main thing that prompted me to write this was when I was reading boards about movies like Inglourious Basterds. It's so funny how angry people get when someone wants to re-envision history for a movie. But I know exactly what you mean, many of those 'inspired by true events' movies that take a couple small truths and try to play the movie up as being the real deal is very annoying. Thanks as always for your great comments! Oh I know what you mean. The main thing that prompted me to write this was when I was reading boards about movies like Inglourious Basterds.

Movies take reality and make it into something else. One thing that does bother me about this though, is when movies claim to be based on a true story or true event and you find that just the names or something little like that is actually based on reality. I like to watch a lot of true story movies. I accept that they twist the truth, I even expect it but I hate it when they use a small detail of the truth. They might as well have made up the entire thing. I agree with you. Movies take reality and make it into something else.
