I have always wondered whether it is the writer, producer, director or all three who tend to distort the facts in such films, where (although perhaps not a true documentary), such distortion infuriates the knowledgable and does not really seem necessary, even to entertain the general public.
While realising that films are made to make money, there seem to me at least to be many occasions when true facts are brushed aside when there is no need, and they do not affect in the least the dramatic effects obtained.
I think I’ll stick to watching proper documentaries – although they also have shortcomings!
