"Historical" movies, that are inaccurate, in an attempt, to illustrate how the "right" were the bad guys. :roll:

I assume you are talking Argo - if you are - you have to know that Affleck is re-writing history with a fat Hollwood wallet - and it is what it is - the truth does not always come out.

both movies, Argo and Lincoln are historically inaccurate.

You both get a "Gold Star" tonight.

Let's see if the Liberals on Ranchers, are up to the challenge, seeing as they are so "scientific" :lol:

Let them claim that Conservatives are not "truthers"

How many of the hundreds of movies made about Custer and the battle of the Little Big Horn are historically accurate :???:

I never knew that either of those pictures were being promoted as historical documentaries- just as entertainment....

Academy Award® winner Ben Affleck directs and stars in this based-on-fact thriller about a CIA "exfiltration" expert who concocts an outlandish plan to get six stranded Americans out of Tehran after the 1979 invasion of the American embassy — by having them masquerade as a Hollywood film crew.
Programmer's Note

Life imitates art and art imitates life in the powerful new suspense drama from director-star Ben Affleck, about the making of a fake movie that aimed to save real lives. Inspired by the recently declassified account of a joint operation between the CIA and Canadian authorities to smuggle six Americans out of Tehran in the wake of the Iran hostage crisis, Argo is a masterfully orchestrated thriller that is both wholly incredible and unbelievably true.

On November 4, 1979, a group of Islamist militants took control of the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held fifty-two embassy personnel hostage. Six members of the embassy staff managed to escape and secretly took refuge in the Canadian embassy, where they remain in constant danger from the militants’ door-to-door searches. Enter CIA "exfiltration" specialist Tony Mendez (Affleck), who cooks up a scheme to get the imperilled Americans out of the country. Mendez proposes to enter Iran posing as the producer of a fake Canadian science-fiction film entitled Argo, on the pretense that Iran’s arid rural landscape would make convincing (and cut-rate) extraterrestrial terrain; following the "location scouting," the six Americans will accompany him out of Iran posing as members of the film crew. To put his plan into action, Mendez will need expert advice, which leads him to befriend and recruit veteran Hollywood producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) to the cause. A script is cranked out and the plan is put into action — and once he lands in Iran, Mendez is going to have to play the role of a lifetime.

This unique spin on the caper movie is both a riveting historical thriller and a witty satire on Hollywood excess. Although the great supporting cast — including Arkin, John Goodman and Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston — provides much buoyant humour, the tension never lets up. Affleck has already proven himself capable of helming gripping action set pieces in The Town (which screened at the Festival in 2010). With Argo, Affleck’s canvas is wider, and his directorial control even more graceful and assured.

Sorry OT - your comments here are wildly out of the ball park - if you do not understand, then I am sure someone would be happy to explain if you truly want to know why.

However, the part in Argo that states "this is a true story" might be a good beginning.

As for the other movie I did explain I had not seen it so I have no comment on that one.

Can't stand to watch any kind of Hollywood awards. Those idiots are not good role models or anything else, for the most part anymore.

we went to see Lincoln...it was an excellent movie, very interesting the way it portrayed the president. but there were a LOT of things that I felt were altered for todays PC world.... but if you look past that, it is a gripping, thrilling movie

Haven't went to see a movie in a theatre since the 90's. Had "Zero Dark Thirty" been showing within an hour's drive or so...I might have considered going to see it.

It's easier to watch "24" over & over on Netflix...you know Jack will save the country in only a day, and there is precious little liberal PC crap to contend with.

Your hero "Jack's" grandfather was the father of Socialism in Canada. :?

Can't help it. Don't care much for Donald Sutherland, either. Are Old WhiskeyBreath's grandkids gonna be as f'd up as he is? Probably not.

With Jack, I like what I see and I see what I like.

"The Hobbit"? REALLY? I've been past the age of 12 for quite a while now......

No BC-- it is I who feel sorry for you if you are still gullible enough to expect any movie made for entertainment is going to be totally factual...

I think I gave up believing in everything I saw in the movies when the one Custer movie I saw in grade school had him standing on last stand hill waving a flag with one hand- saber in the ground next to him- pistol in the other hand with his Indian babe lover wrapped around his legs... I guess they needed some sex and romance...

Real life usually doesn't combine enough sex, violence, romance, mystery, and intrique so since the inception of the motion pictures additions have been made....
Hopefully with aging and maturity your gullibility problems will be taken care of too...

If you state - "This is a true story" (note the quotation marks please) as Affleck did and then do not tell the true story - who is the liar?

That was all I was saying - it was you that deflected the issue.

I do not expect you to answer - I simply expect people to either tell the truth or to tell a story and not lie about the difference.

If you think that makes me gullible then so be it. Sorry you feel that way. I still sleep well at night.

When they change facts, for fiction, when the facts would not take away from the entertainment value of the movie, you know they are changing it for other reasons, besides adding excitement.

Why are you so worried about "the government being in your bedroom", sounds like they would be the only there anyway. Not everyone needs a movie to live a false and shallow life through.
