Too bad this movie is all fiction


The real man was far from being a hero. He was a politician, with all the negative connotations that word implies, and routinely committed acts comparable to what Bush or Clinton have done. i.e. Not outright evil, but not worthy of reverence either. This movie is about a MYTH not a man.

Is it known what sources Bolt used in his research? I'm wondering if any of the memorable dialogue has a basis in fact.

I have little doubt that the true person was any where near the character portrayed on the screen.

Its that man again!!
