stuff snipped

Many of us remember what Canada did. We also remember what Carter did
not
fo.

Movies about history should merely be considered "teasers" for finding
out
what really happened. There must be a site for movies that diverge from
historical reality.

There are an awful lot of one-off's about various movies but only this
site
seems to have tackled more than one:

and they take on "Mississipi Burning, A Beautiful Mind, Remember the
Titans,
The Last King of Scotland, Hoosiers, Frost/Nixon."

Other sites have complaints about "Gladiator, Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt
Locker, etc."

There is a book, however:

The comments mention dozens of movies that have had minor to major
"fixes"
made to them.



Don't forget "Brave heart" Another bunch of Yank lies.



Is that anything like King Arthur and Merlin The Magician? ^_^

There is little known historical basis for King Arthur.
So any tale could be true or not.
The film stuff is based on Victorian fantasy.
