Comments on: Emperor: When you call a movie “historical,” it helps to include the history part https://occasionalplanet.org/2013/04/03/emperor-when-you-call-a-movie-historical-it-helps-to-include-the-history-part/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Wed, 05 Oct 2016 16:04:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” is a story worth knowing in a movie that should have been better | Occasional Planet https://occasionalplanet.org/2013/04/03/emperor-when-you-call-a-movie-historical-it-helps-to-include-the-history-part/#comment-6171 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 13:04:28 +0000 http://www.occasionalplanet.org/?p=23398#comment-6171 […] I’m often dismayed by historically based movies that—variously—gloss over big issues, distort the facts, or blatantly invent new ones {see: Oliver Stone].

I agree completely that Stone is the worst offender in this genre.

I recall a quote, which was attributed to Mark Twain from my source, the difference between fact and fiction is that fiction has to make sense. Therefore, it seems to me that screenplay writers of historical fiction must fall uncomfortably between fact and fiction and the results are therefore usually somewhat schizoid.

One last thought: the writers of history-based screenplays have the benefit of history and they often bring their own views of politics, history, morality, etc. to the project. Quite often, pieces like this turn into propaganda, or, worse, a commentary on modern life, politics, and morality.
