This book profiles sixty movies that portray actual moments in history, and compares the mythologized account of each event to what really happened.
All too often, highly fictionalized cinematic depictions of the past are accepted as the unassailable truth by those unfamiliar with the "real" account. This book profiles sixty movies that portray actual moments in history, and compares the mythologized account of each event to what really happened. Movies chronicled includeThe Ten CommandmentsSpartacus A Man for All SeasonsGladiatorGandhiApollo 13The Thin Red LineDances with WolvesBraveheartThe Last EmperorAll the Presidents MenMutiny on the BountyGone with the WindBonnie & ClydePatton, andElizabeth. Sanello also contrasts several historical figures with their filmed treatments, including Julius Caesar, Henry V, Christopher Columbus, Joan of Arc, Sir Thomas More, Jesus Christ, Catherine the Great, Sigmund Freud, and Harry Houdini. Lavishly illustrated with sixty film stillsReel v. Real shows how a happening's genuine details are frequently reshaped and distorted by Hollywood's bottomless appetite for over-the-top flamboyance and melodrama.
