In Reply to: They're not even close to being "sort-of-documentaries," so I posted by tinear on January 2, 2006 at 05:17:06:
"...so I think you're post begins on a wrong foot.">>>>>>> Ok Tin, but your post begins with a grammatical error :-)
"Now, your last sentence is the interesting part: is it legitimate for a director to twist factual events to suit either narrative aesthetics or a personal agenda? I'd argue the first is ok as long as no significant facts are misrepresented."
>>>>>> What if there is a diff of opinon between some of the audience and the director in regards to the depth of significance? Isn't that the issue?
Follow Ups:
I'd say significant colorations are easily known, just as is commonly said about pornography.
For instance, the scene in Munich when the Israeli assassins are concerned with the "collateral damage." As one now knows, there is no such Israeli compunction.
Of course, there also is the incredible oversight (I'm being kind) which Spielberg occasioned by omitting the depiction of the assassination attempt which severely injured the Swedish tourist: An almost lethal case of false identification. Several years ago, I read the small book which detailed that shocking little episode.
