I am torn here. On one hand, if the film made even a few people, previously oblivious of the events, shudder in horror, then it has right to exist.I think it does that.
On the other hand - Patrick is right, it presents a romantic version, and it is in fact so Hollywood, one expects the pink Cadillac convertible to appear at any moment.
So - a bad film about incredibly important events - taken from that perspective it makes a passing grade.
