Gentlemen, they're movies, stories, lies, to begin with they're not documentaries. And are not meant to be historicaly accurate, that's what history books are for. Movies are entertainment, you know for fun. There aren't any Galaxies far far away that the jedi fought the evil empire in, or Alien hunters that land in Cental America with nuclear bomb wrist whatches, or cyborgs that travel through time either.
If they are going to make a movie on horific or great events that happened in the past, they SHOULD make them historicaly accurate. Imagine the poor people who fought in, or lost friends or family in a War, but dont get mentioned in a movie portraying it because of a stuck-up Director.[/QUOTE]Why? It 90+ minutes of entertainment, that people are willing pay their hard earned money for. Movie goers understand it's for entertainment, and for fun, they're paying for escapism, not a college history course. If anyone has their feelings hurt because not every person, place, or event is mentioned, too bad.
Life's not fair.
