A film doesn´t have to be historically correct in order to be entertaining, and a film doesn´t has a responsibility to be so either. But perhaps, some films shouldn´t stray to far off for their own good, this might break the illusion for the viewer. I´m interested in the relationship between history and film and would appreciate titles on some interesting books on the subject. monika andersson > > Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2001 09:28:44 -0600 > From: Kathy Agar <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Pearl Harbor > > I agree with your comments about "like."
