I am severely disappointed recently to find movies proclaiming that they are based upon real events, where upon exiting the cinema you google and find it has been 50% fictionalised by the director and writer.
Why publish in words to the audience at the beginning of a film, and thus set expectations at the beginning of the film it is a true story, only to find out it is materially fictionalised for dramatic purposes, and only very, very loosely structured on a story about some other guy, with some other name, that occurred actually in some other country?
The film is about people being duped - *I* feel duped after watching it and presuming it to be a true story - when only later I may discover that it is in fact largely in fact fiction with fictional characters.
