Spielberg did NOT do his homework

Schindlers widow, who acted as a consultant for the film, painted a very different picture of the man than the one that was portrayed by Spielbergs direction
The saccharine image that Ralph Fiennes played was a pale shadow of the actual man and a gross inaccuracy
Spielberg should have stuck to the facts and it would not only have made for a better story; but given the seriousness of the subject, accuracy should have been a given and the distortion of those same facts is unforgiveable (the Nazis themselves were masters of distorting facts to suit their agenda)
Spielberg does the same thing again in "Saving Private Ryan", he gets the dry cough of an MG machinegun, the sidevalve V-8 roar of a landing craft and accuracy of uniforms and equipment down frighteningly pat then serves up endless flaky dialog that no WW2 grunt would have ever uttered(!)
Spielberg knows his target audience and is quietly taking a perverse delight at heaping on his own ersatz spin of the ball
He should have stuck with fantasy and fiction rather than historical portrayals that require a less fanciful touch
Upraised middle finger to Mr. Spielberg!
