re: #259 Targetpractice

No, if you want a really glaring example of such behavior, just look at Braveheart.

My main point is that is gets done just about continuously in the history of film. And that the changes are not necessarily being done to push some agenda or be revisionist. “Braveheart” in particular was a travesty in that its inaccuracies probably massively outnumber its accuracies.

There is a really good takedown of it on a blog I read. A historian blogging on various movies and series in a historical context. Two things to not get her started on are Braveheart and “300”.
