I still appreciated 'Argo' even after I learned of the inaccuracies. But a movie like 'Braveheart' did not survive similar scrutiny. After I read the history of William Wallace, Mel Gibson's historical farce became virtually unwatchable.

Life is dramatic enough.

Same with formulaic bullshit. Just tell the story fercrissakes.

I guess that's why my favorite film type is documentary.

Where what people mention as the inaccuracy is at the end, where it went without a hitch, but they made it dramatic.

I don't really mind that. Much of it was worked out well.
I admit, that they could have placed more emphasis on the Canadian involvement, but it is an American movie about the Americans, so I can't really blame them that much for that.

I haven't read much about William Wallace. I did read the Braveheart book though, the author explained that his account is a re-imagining, so, I am pretty sure it was inaccurate.

reality when I saw it so that was okay. I once started a book, read that it was historically based fiction, and promptly put it down. I like history and don't want it messed with.
