Hollywood Movies that Change or Alter History

They change stuff all the time. For a recent example look at the end of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

It sounds like you are talking to a barely functional retard. I wouldn't even bother.

Good grief the stupidity at times. No, the coworker said that the movie Pearl Harbor was based on a book.

Hollywood has changed every book it has ever filmed -- if not for politics then for censorship, budget limitations, time constraints, location logistics, stars' egos, etc etc etc...

Too many political examples for one post:

Bonfire of the Vanities -- the judge in the book is a crusty Jew, and Alan Arkiin actually filmed the role. All his scenes were cut and replaced with Morgan Freeman -- allegedly so the film would have a sympathetic black character.

Sum of All Fears -- villains in the book are Arabs.

Remember, half the production $ in Hollywood comes from the Arabs or the Chinese

how did he pass an interview to gain employment?

To be fair here, movies like The Patriot and Gladiator don't claim to be based on a true story.

Depends!

The ending of Inglorious Basterds is a pretty good bow to arguably Tarantino's finest movie. Does it change history? Yes and it works in the context of the movie and even in the context of history because its more satisfying (which is the underlying premise of the movie, anyway)

Yet, they make something like Man in the High Castle or For All Mankind and thats just useless drivel because history itself was ten times more satisfying than what they are trying to portray. Im an Apollo geek anyway so them hand waving this country and mankind's greatest accomplishment to the ruskies who could barely wipe their arse in space is insulting, quite frankly and not worth my time.

A co-worker and I are having a discussion about how Hollywood changes movies and/or makes them more PC in the process. He said the movie Pearl Harbor was from a book and not based off of events. He's convinced Hollywood doesn't change things in any form. Ideas?

Remember The Titans is almost pure fiction.
