True enough, but...

In Reply to: Truth or fiction live by the same rules: boring is boring. posted by tinear on November 6, 2007 at 15:37:52:

should a film's creative team take dramatic license with the subject matter, that may be very personal and important to someone, and change it to make it more exciting, to the extent that the finished product has little to do with the actual events? Then again, one person's boring is another person's cup of tea. Certainly, some feel that Bergman is boring. Of course, I have no doubt you would hurl some colorful adjective their way to describe their intellectual capacity for not appreciating a director who made films which are anything but boring. Perhaps you failed to appreciate the nuances in the story?

I am finishing up Black Book, which I'll likely write about here, a very suspenseful film allegedly based upon a true story in Holland during WWII. How accurate? I do not know. But I'd like to think that films I see based upon "true events" are actually close to the truth, and not some screenwriter's desire to cater to the populist notion of "excitement", and the need for a payoff.
