shareI've actually read just a little bit on this topic, and I'm not surprised that Hollyweird would pump up the drama at the expense of some facts or a balanced view of the opposing viewpoints.
History is fascinating (to me, anyway) because of what the real facts are, but the real facts aren't always considered as good entertainment that would bring in the big buck$$ at the boxoffice. Even though fact is often stranger than fiction, Hollyweird doesn't always consider it to be as entertaining. ;-)

That link would have been much more credible if it provided a link to the actual transcripts. As it was, it was laced with creationist bias throughout. Transcripts are easily found, and from a cursory reading I can tell that the link blatantly lies in its portrayals. For example, the link makes this claim, which is an utter lie:
Bryan was courteous at all times in his handling of witnesses as an examination of the trial transcript will reveal. Darrow, on the other hand, was at times condescending and contemptuous in his treatment of witnesses, jurists, opposing lawyers and even the judge.
