Just was a little shocked about the Michael Oher lawsuit against his conservators -

 

Theres a thread on the football board.

 

Another Michael Lewis adaptation Moneyball was greatly manipulated and may have crossed the line - the whole Jeremy Pena thing didnt go down like that.

 

I was also disappointed that the cons from Catch Me If You Can were probably greatly exaggerated. He was no doctor or lawyer. Almost every scene was a fake of a fake.

 

I guess growing up means learning a lot of the things you see in movies are bullshit, but some of these things go beyond slight changes for lack of time and into complete distortion.

It's Hollywood...so yes, a lot of bullshit to wade through.

Braveheart?  Not a super accurate portrayal of William Wallace.

Argo?  Not accurate.

Captain Phillips?  Not super accurate.

Pearl Harbor?  Lulz.

Rudy?  Lulz.

A Beautiful Mind.  Meh.

 

The list goes on and on.

Rudy is completely accurate. Rudy sucks. Notre Dame sucks. The actual Rudy sucks. The fans suck. His parents suck. 100% real.

Is the allegation that the films distort things or the books also?

I expect films to take "artistic liberties," but I'd have a sad if Michael Lewis took artistic liberties.

next you'll tell me that the latest netflix documentary/podcast that claims so and so was railroaded is manipulative, full of shit, and left out key incriminating facts.  

You can pretty much add any biopic to this list. They are all heavily altered, and almost always unnecessarily so.

I mean... there's a reason before the movie starts, you see, "based on..." 

The Flaming Hot story is a bunch of bullshit too. 
 

Maybe we should have a thread about movies/shows actually true to history. But then I can’t come up with anything other than John Adams. 

All The President’s Men seems to have stuck to the facts.

it was absolutely accurate.  historians from england will say I am a liar, but history is written by those who have hanged heroes.

Everything that you read, or see, or hear on tv is a product begging for your fat ass dirty dollar.

Now shut up and buy my new record.

all movies and tv shows based on real life stories are embellished, fictionalized, or dramatized.  do you know why?  because most of the time real life is not nearly as interesting.  not only that, but the people who lived the stories are not the ones making the final say in how their stories are presented.

unless you're spielberg i guess, but it took him 60 years to make a movie about himself.

hmmm, i had a feeling all those stepsisters weren't actually fucking all their stepbrothers and stepdads.

Next y'all are going to tell me four vampires aren't really sharing a house on Staten Island. 

Oliver Stone’s JFK left out Ted Cruz’s father, so we know that film is bullshit.

I think Joe Montana was a freshman(?) on the Rudy senior team. He said many scenes never happened or were greatly exaggerated. But his point was hey, it’s a movie, not real life.

I need to read the book, but there are numerous articles debunking the Blind Side film. For one his tutor portrayed by the great Kathy Bates was taking his online classes for him. Oher and his tutor are the reason why the NCAA outlawed BYU online coursework.

Don't ever let nobody make a movie of your life's story. Whether they get it right or wrong, it don't matter.

The Weird Al biopic makes me mad. Everyone knows that Madonna pulled the trigger killing Pablo Escobar, not Al.

You may go now. 

Don't get me started on Christine. I mean the real car wasn't even a Plymouth Fury, it was a Corvair. And nobody is scared of a goddamn Corvair. 

Except Ralph Nader I guess.

Actually doesn't Joe Montana hate Rudy? I've heard him do interviews basically stopping short of calling the movie pure bullshit.
