[Regia-NA] About productions based on historical legends?

[ingolf]

In my opinion we must take entertainment in our genre where we can find it. At least there are projects that represent some of the things we are interested in. The objective of most of these is pure and simple. cash.  If we bog down in details we appeal to fewer. I interrogated prisoners for a living. The plain and simple truth is the process aint as sexy as TV shows make it out to be.  They show things that appeal to the masses and int he final cut the director is an artist.

  It's one of those things that's common to all historical or technological subjects depicted on film or TV. Like for instance - the World War 2 movie using American Chaffees as German tanks, or the TV documentary claiming that the P47 had a Merlin engine....

  To those who know (and the problem for the film makers is that far more people _do_ know than they think) it's really annoying to see history misrepresented, and re-enactment societies tend to be rather well stocked with people who know!

  So if you want to find plenty of people complaining vociferously about historical inaccuracies or whatnot in films - pick whatever re-enactment society you please and you'll find plenty there.

  's just one of them things...

  Cheers,

  Chris.
