It was predominantly intended as entertainment, Hedda. If it also conveyed my view of the reality accurately, I regard that as a bonus (great acting though). |

I adored Todd in his career. But this opens the "it must be accurate" argument. I love A Man For All Seasons though all Mantel's novels show Sir Thomas More in a totally different light. Doesn't make either film/novel any worse or any better.
Entertainment is very different from history and never the twain shall meet.
The problem is mistaking one for the other.

I saw a movie called Vile Pervert that accurately reflects the truth  |

Surely, the problem IS that propgandising HollyWeird arm of the heirachy, DELIBERATELY mistakes one for the other? |

If you don't care about historical facts you can watch "Generation War", starting on BBC 2 tonight at 9.30:

The battle scenes etc. are "state of the art", but the ideology behind the (conventional) story is unbearable (for me). |

Brush with fame #102 
met Todd once in Sydney- he was here to open an Ar Deco Fair- he was a huge fan of Deco.
Tiny little person..must have been about 5'4" but devilishly handsome even in his late 70s. |
