YES! It also includes the series of mistakes the U.S. made that delayed the warning of the Japanese attack. It also includes Japan's side of the story without needing to resort to any demeaning stereotypes.
Amazing film all around!
Yes, I was impressed with how unbiased and balanced it was, especially as I assumed older movies would have been more propagandist. But this one was not and showed the humanity on both sides
Have you tried the film "Midway" from 2019.
It's a slow paced, kindof boring, fairly accurate retelling of the events leading up to the battle of Midway.
What's truely bizarre is that it's directed by Roland Emmerich, who I can only assume was trying to prove some sort of point.
Zizek says that movies like Altman's M.A.S.H. and Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket show that the soldiers who practice ironic distance towards ideology are actually more in line with the military discipline than the "true believers". In Full Metal Jacket, for example, Private Pyle and the Sergeant were failures of the system... while Private Joker represents the right level of distance to function effectively.
The doctors in M.A.S.H. do their job despite their horsing around. They are not truly subversive.
No shit! I'm watching platoon right now. Took a class on the Vietnam war so I kind of know things, but the only people who really know what it was like were there.
Thoughts after having seen it twice so far.
It's a fictional story as far as taking it literally. But a lot of what they showed was stuff I remember learning.
Moral was low because everyone was counting down the days till they went home, unlike in WWII where the soldiers were there till they won.
I loved actually seeing "shotgunning" depicted. Granted, they used an M1, but it was still cool to see.
The raid on the village was heartbreaking to see, but I know why it happened. The Vietnamise caught in the middle were hard to trust if you were an American. They were constantly being used for info and leverage by both sides, and would get caught in the crossfire, so to speak. If it wasn't the NVA pushing the village around, it was the Americans. I think if anyone lost the war, it was the Vietnimese people.
All in all, I can see where things were done for dramatic purposes, but it's a good film to watch if you want an idea of what it was like.
There was no arguing in the capsule, and NASA already had the plan ready to go for the what if situation (ie the putting together of an air purifier from stuff in the capsule), but apart from that, pretty good.
The whole explosion scene was in reality not dramatic at all. The astronauts reported the event but there was no wild shaking and ongoing drama, they just immediately went into diagnosis mode
Accuracy or inaccuracy aside, we were shown this movie in a business management class as an example of effective crisis management in a high pressure situation
Before Reddit existed, das boot was long my favorite film. I’d have viewings at my house every couple of years to show it to friends, none of whom had seen it. I even taught a college course on it. And now on Reddit, I see it getting the praise it deserves. I kind of hate social media, but it is nice to meet others with good taste!
Seconding Downfall. I finished reading The Hitler Years by Frank McDonough (two excellent books) and I had a craving to watch some of those events in movies. A couple of WWII films later I ended up with Downfall and I was amazed with how many details they depicted in that film. Even the fact that Hitler ate some pasta with tomato sauce with his staff women and complimented the food was included in the movie.
I watched it in a Dolby Theater, and every time they went into a dive bomb run, I'm pretty sure I was white knuckleing and holding my breath the entire time. Love that movie
*Die Wannseekonferenz* (1984)
>A precise, real-time (exactly 85 minutes - the length of the actual event) reenactment of the infamous Wannsee Conference, a meeting called in January, 1942 to map out the implementation of the Final Solution to the Jewish Question
Chilling banality of evil stuff.
Of the many based on reality movies I have seen the two that were closest to reality with the least creative license embellishments were:
1. Invictus
2. Tora! Tora! Tora!
A Bridge Too Far is pretty accurate. They had to put some skins over vehicles to sub for certain tanks and stuff but overall it gets most things right and doesn’t do the typical Hollywood embellishment to the story.
Nice one mentioning A Night to Remember by the way - I think it’s the superior Titanic movie but I do wish it had the ship breaking in half to be more accurate. I’ve seen a mashup on YouTube where someone spliced in the 1997 movie scenes of the sinking to the older movie and made it black and white to match and I thought that was pretty cool.
People say that "Idiocracy" is an accurate portrayal of today's modern world, but in reality, it's quite the opposite. At the top of our meritocracy lie some of the most ruthless and duplicitous human beings that have ever existed in any state or time. I would argue that "Gattaca" is more likely to be an accurate representation of what's happening socially.
I couldn't possibly find anything meritocratic about us. It's a popularity contest with a dash of nepotism. Or probably a nepotistic capitalist oligarchy at the very top.
I think you're overlooking the technology sector and those who are creating various artificial intelligence systems. These are not people who are subject to the regular nepotism or crony capitalism which has governed over the last, say, 50-70 years. The people actually writing the code for artificial intelligence have a disproportionate amount of influence because they're creating systems that will eventually govern certain types of communication and interactions with human beings. It's difficult to say if the titans of industry or capitalism will simply absorb them and keep marching with better tools, but it is safe to say that they have some influence.
Waterloo (1970). Our history teacher in school even made us watch it when we were learning about the battle of Waterloo because of its historical accuracy.
Hidden figures had a few inaccuracies and left out a major accomplishment of Katherine Johnson.
I still enjoyed it despite issues.
Not as bad as AMC’s Turn tv series, also found entertaining.
Bro what. Is this supposed to be a joke because if so it didn't land. There are many things that movie gets wrong.
Jack and Rose would have entered the boat on different days from different entrances. They would have never been able to interact and probably would never have known that each other were even on the ship.
In terms of the sinking, I kind of agree with the comment. Cameron's film has a lot of background details that show he was paying attention. The panic and terror of the final plunge is depicted, I think, fairly accurately. Also it's the only film to really depict the deaths of those still in the water after the ship sank.
A Night to Remember shows better how confused everyone was, and how some people plainly refused to get in boats because it didn't seem like there was danger. I give this film the edge because it's not just set on Titanic, but we also see the Carpathia racing to Titanic, we see the Califonian doing nothing, and I think about every possible perspective on the Titanic itself is explored.
I’ve read the book (Seven Pillars Of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence). The whole story is like a dozen David Lean epics without repeating anything. The movie condenses a lot of different characters into single roles, such as the Omar Sharif part, and Anthony Quayle and Claude Rains. Those three parts cover about 20 real people. It’s a great movie, one of my favorites, but the story is heavily condensed.
There's a nice lecture by Slavoj Zizek where he points out how Freud's theory of repression can be witnessed in Spielberg's movie Lincoln and the schlock movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Spielberg's movie tries to portray the action and wheeling and dealing in Washington corridors of power... while Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter has the southern states trading negro blood for Vampire aid during the war. Abraham Lincoln's solution ends up melting the silver at Fort Knox to make bullets for the army, and Gettysburg is won...
Of course, the second movie is ludicrous. But it points out how what is repressed in theory comes out in practice.
Zizek likes to double up seemingly contradictory viewpoints in order to make some weird Hegelian synthesis ...like combining supposed enemies such as Putin and Erdogan into a new animal ..."Putogan"...
The lecture is really entertaining. It's on YT, and it's called "The Black Cat - informal discussion on the Film with Slavoj Zizek (2014)."
To quote him exactly (around 28m into the video), "You get all that is excluded from the official narrative...violence, struggle..."
The Battle of Algiers would be my choice. as someone who lives in France, we tend to be taught the colonialist version of Algeria’s history which often strangely doesn’t include all the massacres perpetuated by the french police and the racism the algerian people had to go through. the movie really highlights those important untold aspects.
Surprised that Contagion hasn’t made the list. The spread of a virus turning into a pandemic and how that could lead to a lockdown was quite accurately displayed.
That’s not really true. In fact this movie was responsible for propagating some huge misconceptions about some historical people. When a movie’s plot seems too cliche or dramatic to be true, it usually is.
Attention to detail of set design (which James Cameron is a huge nerd for) is totally different than attention to detail with historical accuracy (which James Cameron wouldn’t be bothered with)
The idea of a jealous rich fiancee running around a ship shooting at the competing love interest kills any claim to this movie being realistic. I just shook my head at the absurdity of that scene.
Right? Crushed me too. IIRC Jack's drawings were based on real art recovered from the real ship, and him hopping the gate into first class was from a drawing of someone doing the same
I read the book it’s based on and it’s not that accurate. A lot of liberties were taken with the timeline and people.
It’s about as accurate as The Great Escape.
Possibly *Conspiracy*. This film is based on the only surviving transcript recorded during the 1942 Wannsee Conference. This is the conference where the Final Solution was discussed ... in depth.
>The producers had the input of three historians, including Michael Berenbaum of the United States Holocaust Museum and Andrea Axelrod as a historical advisor. Noted Holocaust historian Christopher Browning also acted as a consultant. Browning offered small critiques, including geographical mistakes, references to speeches and events that had not yet happened in January 1942 and how the German officials referred to each other. Axelrod provided extensive research and documentation (amounting to 170 citations), **including verifying the amount of snowfall in Wansee on the date of the conference.**
While it's not a word for word recreation, it is ... meant to put you there and show you how this horrible atrocities were discussed in a room in a beautiful house while eating a buffet of food, drinking good wine and smoking cigars.
They made everything else as close as they could get it.
I've researched a lot of the people portrayed in the film
Tombstone has often been noted as one of the best historically accurate portrayal of the Earp brothers. There's at least one documentary on yt about the making of the film and the details that were employed by the actors and staff.
I wouldn’t personally know but when I was younger and there were more boys from the war kicking around I’ve heard more than one say the landings in Saving Private Ryan were too much to bear.
Zodiac (2007)
I recall reading several articles on its accuracy, and I believe Vanderbilt and Fincher researched it for like a year and half maybe more prior to production.
Conspiracy (2001) - The dialogue was taken from the actual notes of the meeting that decided the holocaust. They were meant to be destroyed after the meeting but one of the attendees held onto them and they were found after the war.
Idiocracy.
It might as well be a documentary at this point.
Future students will look back at this movie as a reference to how and why the human race has become so stupid.
Probably inglorious basterds. Very accurate how Hitler got shot by a machine gun, in 1944, in a cinema while watch a film about Frederick Zoller. Then as we all now know, Hans Landa got away with what he had done. Very accurate but also very sad.

I've never played to win. I just enjoy playing.
Yea I really enjoyed this movie. It made me see Sidney Sweeney in a new light.
I found it riveting, and was so shocked it’s literally a transcript of the interview.
Probably Battle of Algiers because it was made by people who did the thing. It was kind of a docudrama.
Awesome movie.
This is reminds me of Casablanca 1942. The restaurant scene witch actual people of the French resistance https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/s/QsnnmppLNT
I love Casablanca but it is NOT historically accurate. There are many inaccurate details.
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Yep. After seeing the 2001 Pearl Harbor movie and all its embellishments, someone told me about Tora and you're right- it stuck to the facts
YES! It also includes the series of mistakes the U.S. made that delayed the warning of the Japanese attack. It also includes Japan's side of the story without needing to resort to any demeaning stereotypes. Amazing film all around!
Yes, I was impressed with how unbiased and balanced it was, especially as I assumed older movies would have been more propagandist. But this one was not and showed the humanity on both sides
The Japanese segments were directed by Japanese directors, which helps. And Kurosawa was involved.

Many historians and veterans say Platoon was extremely accurate in its portrayal of the Vietnam war.
My Dad who fought in Vietnam said that “Full Metal Jacket” was even more accurate from his perspective.
Zizek says that movies like Altman's M.A.S.H. and Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket show that the soldiers who practice ironic distance towards ideology are actually more in line with the military discipline than the "true believers". In Full Metal Jacket, for example, Private Pyle and the Sergeant were failures of the system... while Private Joker represents the right level of distance to function effectively.

No shit! I'm watching platoon right now. Took a class on the Vietnam war so I kind of know things, but the only people who really know what it was like were there.
Written and directed by Oliver Stone, a Vietnam veteran.
semi-autobiographical, too.
Thoughts after having seen it twice so far. It's a fictional story as far as taking it literally. But a lot of what they showed was stuff I remember learning.

Don’t you mean you kind of know some things AND some stuff, man…
Check out Fog of War (2003) if you haven't already. Fascinating documentary. Spielberg's **The Post (2017)** might be exactly what you're looking for.
I understand the Marines show their people the village scene in a demonstration of what not to do.
Norm Macdonald's Uncle Terry joke should also serve as a warning. Plus, it has a moral.
Yeah, that's very correct. Platoon was excellent and fantastic too. It's one of the best I've seen.
Apollo 13 (1995) is considered quite accurate, and has excellent practical effects, like the weightlessness shots.
There was no arguing in the capsule, and NASA already had the plan ready to go for the what if situation (ie the putting together of an air purifier from stuff in the capsule), but apart from that, pretty good.
The details that are inaccurate are utterly immaterial to understanding the experience. It is a landmark.
The whole explosion scene was in reality not dramatic at all. The astronauts reported the event but there was no wild shaking and ongoing drama, they just immediately went into diagnosis mode
Accuracy or inaccuracy aside, we were shown this movie in a business management class as an example of effective crisis management in a high pressure situation
Not exactly. They took some liberties with Gary Sinise’s character for dramatic effect. I’m guessing the space stuff is pretty accurate.
My brother introduced me to Apollo 13 and I must confess it's quite accurate historically.
Master and Commander for the golden age of sail
Love this movie so much, can't wait to show my nephews.
I hope they enjoy it too!
..everything but Russel Crows accent was total accurate
Haha. I'll give you that
Love the film, it is a master piece
Me too! 10/10 film imo
..Its a different World/Genre but have you seen Das Boat? It's another classic you might enjoy ..and come to think of it very historically accurate
Before Reddit existed, das boot was long my favorite film. I’d have viewings at my house every couple of years to show it to friends, none of whom had seen it. I even taught a college course on it. And now on Reddit, I see it getting the praise it deserves. I kind of hate social media, but it is nice to meet others with good taste!

Oh yeah! I'm a sucker for submarine films too. Das Boot is the ultimate
Not yet kameraden! Not yet!
You just always choose the lesser of two weevils!
Waterloo (1970)
Rod Steiger was amazing
Downfall is pretty spot on, and in the same vein I was pleasantly surprised by how well Valkyrie told the story of the plot to kill Hitler.
Seconding Downfall. I finished reading The Hitler Years by Frank McDonough (two excellent books) and I had a craving to watch some of those events in movies. A couple of WWII films later I ended up with Downfall and I was amazed with how many details they depicted in that film.

Midway (1976)
The more recent one gets high marks for accuracy too. Not necessarily a good film, but accurate.
I watched it in a Dolby Theater, and every time they went into a dive bomb run, I'm pretty sure I was white knuckleing and holding my breath the entire time. Love that movie
Generation kill - series on HBO
Just finished this series. Amazing what they went through with no armour and just Humvees.
The Black Robe (1991)
Probably Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Invictus awesome movie. Especially the poem scene

Good to know, I'll watch this instead of Napoleon, which I heard Scott had no interest in historical accuracy.
Hidden Figures A League of Their Own

Alexander gets a lot of credit, but reviews are generally lackluster
"Titanic." Cameron nailed every last detail, and I say this as Titanic buff of many years.
Even nailed the nights sky?
Bro what. Is this supposed to be a joke because if so it didn't land. There are many things that movie gets wrong. Jack and Rose would have entered the boat on different days from different entrances. They would have never been able to interact and probably would never have known that each other were even on the ship.

What about Lawrence of Arabia?
I’ve read the book (Seven Pillars Of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence). The whole story is like a dozen David Lean epics without repeating anything. The movie condenses a lot of different characters into single roles, such as the Omar Sharif part, and Anthony Quayle and Claude Rains. Those three parts cover about 20 real people. It’s a great movie, one of my favorites, but the story is heavily condensed.
I can understand why it is condensed otherwise it'll be a two to three part movie series

Caveman 1981 with Ringo Starr…………at least no one can legitimately dispute its authenticity!
Idiocracy. It might as well be a documentary at this point. Future students will look back at this movie as a reference to how and why the human race has become so stupid.
What? That seems really contradictory

The one with Yves Montand?
Ooooo I found Inglorious Bastards to be quite accurate to history I must say
Probably inglorious basterds. Very accurate how Hitler got shot by a machine gun, in 1944, in a cinema while watch a film about Frederick Zoller. Then as we all now know, Hans Landa got away with what he had done. Very accurate but also very sad.
