Movies that are factually right and wrong! ruclips.net/p/PLmZTDWJGfRq1EfDAKAQFH707J_sFz7oV7
How is it that you post like 20 times a day
how about Inglorious Basterds? Have you guys seen this movie?
Everyone in this said something that would make me leave RUclips
Not movies but the media leaves out the truth of some controversy that happens in the world and only shows part of a video that fits their narrative.
That movie is SUPOSSED to be fiction. It's not based on any true story.
"Gentleman, it has been an honor playing with you tonight" is one of the most badass lines in film history. It always fills me with a deep sense of respect for those musicians
Yes not to mention that it was probably the most spot on performance ever done. Knowing your about to die and playing for the last time would bring out the best you ever had.
"privilege" not honor
Didn't they all die? How do we know what they said?
Facts
@@patricialear3532 there were over 700 survivors.. that’s why we know so many details..
I think 'Anastasia' deserves a place on this list too. Wonderful movie, but the real princess died with the rest of her family.
And the person they sort-of depict in the movie was a con artist.
@@immikeurnotstick
@immikeurnot There is a theory that the real fake Anastasia had a trauma induced personality disorder that made her genuinely believe she was the real deal. This was then encouraged by opportunists who tutored her in the facts to support her claim.
It was her delusion that helped her maintain the pretence for so long.
Whatever the truth, it was one heck of an effort. Most other wannabe Romanovs gave up after a few months or weeks, she kept on for decades.
My sister took a class on Russian history in college and Anastasia is apparently so inaccurate (I mean obviously since none of the Romanovs survived) that it was marketed in Russia as a fairy tale
@giggle_snort@ In Russia, miraculous survivals simply do not happen. Meticulousness in killing is one of the few things in which the Russians have achieved unparalleled excellence because it gives a sense of fulfilment to the 'Russian soul'.
I loved that the ending to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was changed, it was such a relief to not see the awful ending we all knew was coming. Everyone says “life isn’t a happy ending!” but I don’t watch movies to see “real life”, I see that 24/7 for free, I watch movies to escape real life and that’s what I got. Thank you Quentin 😎
Okay okay calm down!!!!!! Quentin didn't do it for u , he did it for himself because that's what he wanted to see just like every other film he's ever done so don't be thankful to him💯 that's why he never made actual factual movie based on real life in his entire career , he likes his fantasy world but if u like it too & it makes u happy I understand but still...he doesn't make movies that others want to see , he makes movies that he wants to see that never been made before!!!!!!
@@mattlawrence1932 No, he did it for his audience and me being a member of that audience I was VERY thankful for it. I kept watching that movie saying to myself: “OK…. brace yourself, the awful part is gonna happen and it’s gonna suck seeing a beautiful pregnant woman get butchered by these a-holes, hopefully he makes it so over the top it’s funny and we don’t think of what REALLY happened…” and Quentin gave us a break. We knew what the real ending is/was and he did a “what if” and I loved it ‘cause the real ending just sucks so much… If we want “the truth” or “the REAL ending” we can all pull up a documentary or something on RUclips of what really happened and be sickened by it, ya know? I was just happy for the ending we got ‘cause I knew the real ending and I just didn’t want to see it but I wanted to see the ending to this movie so I was kinda torn and again, Quentin did us a solid and I’m thankful for it.
Did you know Quentin wants to retire? Yeah… music sucks, now let’s have movies suck too.. I hope he’s just kidding. I love his movies 😎
Totally agree with everything you just said. I was dreading the ending the WHOLE TIME. Hoping it would be an over the top blood bath to where I wouldn’t feel just emotionally horrified by what I KNEW was coming. !! When I realized what the ending actually was, I actually said out loud “YES!!! HELL YEAH!!!” 😂😂 I even think I clapped 😂😂 that was a good movie and I’m glad it ended the way it did. Despite the horrifying truth, which we all already know…It’s what SHOULD have happened and I love that he changed it. 👏 👏 👏
If you believe in the whole infinite parallel universes things then it's almost like Tarantino just showed us a universe in which the Manson family were a bunch of idiots and got their asses handed to them. Particularly in this case lol
@@michele36618 Yup! If I ever meet Quentin I’m gonna shake his hand and tell him “thanks”. I have a feeling I’m not the only person that does that.
After the war, Louie Zamperini found his faith, overcame PTSD, and forgave his captors. He also worked with at risk boys for decades and lived to be 97 years old.
Legend
My step-dad actually met him one time. He told me he was a kind person.
@@blackheartthedarklord6428 ok did they kiss?
Unbroken 2
He was also an Olympic track star in the 1936 Olympics
He also went back to Japan to carry the olympic torch in 2014
I’ve never even seen 12 Years A Slave, but just hearing what might have/probably happened to him at the end had me in tears
Don't you cry
It's a hard watch certainly, but it remains a great film, with an excellent cast
I watched 12 yrs a slave ONE time and i was NEVER able to watch it again. That was ine of the hardest watches ive ever experienced. Finding out that there's a possibility he was possibly sold BACK into slavery is just.... Depressing smh
The slavery era of the United states was a hell of a thing. Some slave states basically had laws where if a black person was in state for a certain length of time, free or not, they could be considered slaves and captured and sold. This was briefly mentioned near the end of the original Roots. Of course, that series openly took a ton of liberties with the truth but that was very real.
@@willh3972 You do realize that pretty much every civilization has had slavery and the US in actuality wasn't even close to the worst in it's treatment of slaves. Not defending the actions but the narrative is usually about the US when in reality every nation has done it.
@@chillychese Shut up, Stop trying to downplay the horrors of slavery in the u.s
@@chillychese curious who would you consider worse?
@@chillychese How do you miss such an obvious point so entirely? Fucking yikes.
Howard Hughes may have suffered from a condition, caused by the horrific plane crash that almost killed him, that made his body extremely sensitive to touch. Making trimming his nails, hair, shaving, bathing and even wearing clothes very painful. Combined with his untreated OCD, making him a very tragic figure
That sounds like fibromyalgia. I have it.
OCD could also be connected with germs. Its a common type OCD and left untreated could make a person spiral.. OCD is a painful disorder and sucks the life out of the person.. I suffer from it lol so it suuuuuuuuuuuucks.
He became addicted to opioids after the XF11 crash. He was OCD, a germaphobe, an agoraphope, and was manipulated by his “staff” while they stole his $
"How Stella Got Her Groove Back" was based on author Terry McMillan's real life romance and eventual marriage to a much younger man. In future years however, it was came out that her real life husband was actually gay, which lead to a very bitter divorce and money battle.
Well, damn.
The Disney movie Pocahontas took a lot of liberties. There was no romance between John Smith and Pocahontas as portrayed in the movie. She was a child when the English settled in Jamestown, VA. She also married a different English settler named John Rolfe.
It was 'based on a true story', but actually 'based on the journals of John Smith'. But actually, 'based on the second journals of John Smith', because what he journaled showed two different accounts of what happened and seem to be written after the fact. Smith has very little to do with Pocahontas in reality. They might have seen each other once.
Totally correct, but I always find it interesting that few people note that the natives gave/exchanged her to John Smith. Not a particularly nice time in history for any involved. Native Americans were brutal toward their own women. The film sugarcoats/whitewashes this big time , but so do the classrooms wherein we learn about these people.
I think men of those times didn't really care how old a girl was..if she went through puberty that was old enough.
@@joshuathompson4571 is there proof where they just gave her to him?
@@TheGavrael Yeah he just made a fanfic
I've noticed that quite a few movies are now stating "loosely based on a true story" instead of based on a true story.
I still meet people that think Texas Chainsaw Massacre really happened, not to mention the stupid remake had the "found footage" intro.
Or "Inspired by true events".
@@willh3972 I liked the remake and the addition of that found footage, kind of foolish to blame the film makers for the audience’s stupidity
…or “based on true events.”
I don't get why they can't make historically accurate movies. It's so rare. Make a fantasy then, or maybe just write a new story. Don't shit on someone's life to make a buck. Though that's certainly nothing new. :(
You left out that Pocahontas was TWELVE when she met John Smith, a fact which really puts a damper on any so-called romances.
And was raped by several men in captivity and became pregnant. John Rolfe was one of the men that raped her and really didn't want to be married to her. When Rolfe died he did his best to not leave anything to "their son" but Rolfe's family didn't allow it.
John smith was like zamn shes 12
pedophile..its america anyway LOL
There were girls, younger than twelve, already getting married, back in the day. Though, in this case, it wasn’t true, it still isn’t that unheard of.
@@nahhhbruhhh because it's a "fact" not an "excuse" it's not like you getting upset changes anything. here's another fact, most people didn't live until 30 back in Europe and the New World
That's why I love the imitation game. Although it mixed around the events, they pulled no punches with the tragic ending to the genius that was Alan Turing.
That was a good movie.
They totally pulled punches in that film...
They also made it seems like he was the only one who cracked the code when it was a much larger team
@@KalEL224 they showed the team the entire movie. Obviously the movie was about him so that’s why when it was cracked it focused on him but it showed them working with him everyday after he gained their trust and attention.
@@joshuathompson4571 I'm just saying the ending was brutally accurate
In Goodfellas, Tommy initially refused to kill Stacks after the Lufthansa heist. The two of them were very close friends and Tommy was uncharacteristically remorseful over it, even calling Stacks' mother after the funeral to genuinely send his condolences. Paulie ultimately convinced Tommy to kill Stacks by promising to "make" him... and we all know how that went.
Never knew this
The real goodfellas story was crazy
Damn I never knew that.
The movie only tells the first half of Henry Hill, the second half of his life is like a whole different movie. And the real Goodfellas story is way more graphic
[Appreciate the unexpected likes]
("Henry Hill Documentary"; about 40+minutes long with rare pictures and footage, told by Henry Hill himself. Disregard other documentaries)

I thought that Remember The Titans did a good job bringing up just how tough Coach Boone was on these young he coached. You saw the way he was verbally abusive to the starting running back to the point of the young man was ready to quit until the assistant coach told hom he could play on the defense. You also saw how he was when players asked for a water break and he would make them work even harder. And the sense I felt that really hit home with how tough Boone was, was the up down scene. Where in blistering heat these players were working out in drills so long that his own assistant walked up and said, "there's a difference between being tough and crazy. And you're flirting with it right now" Boone called a hault to the drill and many players broke down and started to vomit or pass out.
One of the actual players moved to the town I grew up in and would talk about his experience on the team. He made no secret of the fact Boone was ten times worse than anything they showed in the movie.
My brother played college football in the 60’s. They had practices twice a day. He told of players having dry heaves. That was during the era when it was thought that people, including workers, that sweat a lot needed salt tablets.
I just watched "Once upon a time in Hollywood" last night. The ending made me unexpectedly emotional 😢Sharon and her four friends should've still been here today. It was nice cinematic justice
I get teary eyed every time I watch it that's such a beautiful movie
@@69orgtfo73 I was really moved by it, after laughing my ass off as DiCaprio and Pitt went nuts on those asshole hippies. 😅. I walked out of the theater feeling a little buzz that rarely happens with I see a happy ending, but this one was outright joyous.
And Tate's husband, Polanski, should not be here.
"Tell me a happy story.
There's no such thing. All stories have a sad ending.
Then tell me a happy story but end it in the middle."
The truth behind A Beautiful Mind is utterly heartbreaking
You forgot 'Lady Sings The Blues.' It ended with the concert and didn't show how it failed to get Billie Holliday's cabaret license back and then her subsequent death. Although these things were acknowledged.
Most of that movie was bullsh*t. The real Louis McKay was a monster.
Erin Brockovich, I detoured on my way to Vegas once because of traffic. I drove by the military base, reluctant to go inside. I was extremely curious of this whole event. With the prison across the street, the abandonment of the base, you would think a movie would develop again. This story is filled with controversy but the fact that you can drive into the base with no issue and just explore is so crazy to me.
"Boys Don't Cry", the 1999 movie about Brandon Teena. Starring Hillary Swank as the transgender Brandon, the movie leaves out a huge amount of facts about Teena's death. Brandon and Candace Lambert were both killed by Tom Nissen and John Lotter, but for some reason the movie leaves out the murder of Phillip DeVine, who was also visiting Candace and Teena that day. The movie also shows Candace's baby crawling out of the house on it's own, but in reality they took the baby out and left it in a cornfield to starve to death. And, lastly, the movie shows Lana Tisdel trying desperately to protect Brandon from being killed, but the sad reality is that the police suspected that Lana and her mother, Linda, set up Brandon to be murdered. I have no idea why the movie changed some really important facts about the case.
Very interesting. Good read. But when explaining things like this either go with the first name or last name. Multiple times you switched from saying the last name to the first name. Gets a bit confusing while reading it and makes you have to re read it.
Man that’s depressing
Boys Don't Cry is in my top five favorite movies of all time.
Brandon was just trying to live his life, but he couldn't escape the ignorance and rednecked people of his city.
I couldn't figure out why I felt so connected to him in the movie when I was younger, but slowly realizing as an young adult I am also trans and had to hide it for so long.
His family never accepted him as Brandon, and sadly (and stubbornly for them) had his tombstone written as Teena.
Sources? Everything I've read all accounts and witness testimonies say the baby was left in his crib, and Lana was sympathetic towards Teena even bailing him out of jail after finding out he wasn't cisgender.
@@brayallen7290, Thanks. I should have caught that.
Shoutout to Quentin for changing the ending to what it was. He did right by Sharon, Jay and the other victims.
What do you mean he did them right? They were murdered in real life, you can't change that.
@@sandhanitizer15 He honored them and their families by altering that scene and having perpetrators die brutally instead.
It would have definitely offended the families if he had played it out the way it actually happened
👍🙌🎥❤️
@@masilomoshesh1475 I have to say that families should not be "offended" by the retelling of such a famous and well-known piece of history; as dark, tragic and macabre as it may be. Maybe a bit hurt everytime they see it retold, but not offended. And honestly I don't think the family would watch this movie either way, no matter what the ending had been. I understand what you're saying, and it sounds like a sweet enough sentiment, but I respectfully disagree with it. No matter how "sweet" or "inoffensive" we wish to be, it simply doesn't alter history's twisted facts. If it were a loved one of mine that had been so brutally murdered, I would prefer the truth to be told. The truth, with a focus on how completely innocent and adored my loved one was; how utterly unfair what happened was, showing just how many people it actually affected, for the victims go far beyond "just" the ones murdered that night. The truth, with a focus on how evil & twisted the perpetrators were; never giving in to any sort of "understanding" of their perspective, showing only their guilt & vileness. Their selfishness & greed.
But that's just me and my opinion. We all see things differently. Maybe you are right and I'm wrong. It really doesn't matter who's "right" or "wrong" though. Maybe we're both a bit right and a bit wrong. Either way, I just thought I'd share another perspective on the matter.
It was so avant garde that I just love the implication that it may have pissed off so many nazi bitches.
Along the lines of them billing the Titanic musician's family, the coroner charged Buddy Holly for the autopsy that was performed on his body. The amount was taken from the money Holly had in his possession at the time of his death. The charge is noted in the personal effects section of the autopsy report.
That is disgusting
Most hospitals charge for autopsies, they either charge the insurance or the estate itself. Though I'm not seeing anything about them taking payment for it from his cash on hand.
Thanks, Google!
@@MrBananaCheeks if you image search the autopsy report it's noted under his personal affects they list the total amount and then subtract the fee.
Jock Hume's body is buried in my hometown (Halifax, Nova Scotia)!
Zamperrini found peace eventually. He lived a full long life. He even took up skateboarding in his 60s. The real “bad” ending of that story is that the sadistic Japanese guard never faced justice of any kind. He and Zamperrini actually met in like the 90s. And the guard was unrepentant. Acting like he was Zamperrinis friend and shit.
Really I heard about that also but I heard the guy wouldn't even meet with him zamperini was ready to move on and forgive him but dude wouldn't even see him. Not sure if it was out of shame or contempt but idk that's what I heard
Wait What!? He took up skateboarding when he was in his 60s? Damn talk about being built like a brick crap house.
I hope Zamperrini knocked his buck teeth out
The commentary about Schindler reminds of another Holocaust hero: Raul Wallenberg, a Swede in the Budapest consulate. He used his connections to get Jews jobs at the consulate thus protecting them. At the end of the war, the Russians took him off. His younger brother searched for decades to find him, only to eventually realize that the rest of his family had paid off the Russians so they could claim the family fortune. The rest of the family had been actively impeding the brother's efforts to find him. I know all this because said brother's daughter is a close family friend.
Some family its disgusting, at least his brother cared though
How tragic!
Thank you for this information. I remember watching a mini-series about him starring Richard Chamberlain. I was fairly young at the time and quite upset about what happened to him. I remember asking my mother why on Earth the Russians would take him away. What would they want with a Swedish man who has done them no harm? It's so disturbing that his own family orchestrated his capture (and I presume his death as well). It's sickening. His younger brother must have been horrified when he realized what his own family had done.
Your niece?
Polke Bernadotte negotiated the release and repatriation of concentration camp prisoners, and was duly assassinated by the Stern Gang
Tarantino you are a hero filming that. My history teacher in grade 5 told my whole class the ranch story, we were ten, it was 1981.
It haunted me forever. Lets just say watching that Fantasy Tarantino part, was great medicine.
I always thought Leo deserved the Oscar for The Aviator. Cate Blanchett definitely deserved hers for that film but he should have too. Knowing he only won for The Revenant for his body of work. Award shows are bad about that - especially the Oscars. You can look back and see people who have won for lesser movies but made even better films where they didn’t win. Some even acknowledged as much.
100 percent agree. Leo has BEEN deserving an Oscar, starting with What’s eating Gilbert Grape. He has delivered a stellar performance in everything he has done. Not just the revenant
The Oscars are a popularity contest. There are some absolutely incredible actors that have never won. Example: Johnny Depp transforms into practically a new person every movie but he's constantly overlooked. I respect George C. Scott (won Best Actor in 1971) for standing his ground on the Oscars. He told them twice he wouldn't accept it and told them not to even put his name on the ballot (called the whole thing a "two hour meat parade"). He won and, when someone accepted for him, returned it the next day. Personally, I think the only reason he won is bc their legitimacy was being called into question that year so who better to give the win to than a man that hates it? No way they can be rigged then, right? Now, I just accept that the winners will be whomever campaigned the most
@@BestBES Agreed! Apparently he only won for The Revenant because he really tried to get out there and schmooze it up, something he had usually shied away from after his other roles.
110% Aviator is my favorite Leo movie.
Absolutely. Elizabeth Taylor did some great work (She also did some turkeys but heh.) but they gave her the Oscar for Butterfield 8. I saw that movie. It was overrought garbage. They gave it to her because they robbed her at a different time.
Hugh Glass also didn't have a son. The men he was looking for took his gear because they thought he was dead. When he tracked them down they returned everything they had.
Thank you!! I was bothered that part got left out 😂
@@HayleighPaige Me too!
I too did research on this movie. Without thier liberties there would not have been much of a movie. Tough guy for sure but maybe not worth a movie
Also the youngster who Glass tracked down and forgave, wasn't named Bridges' it was Bridger as in Jim Bridger who would become one of the most celebrated and famous mountain man of the western fur trade.
@ianonufer6988 Maybe it could have been a good old fashioned 90 minute movie. Remember them? When you didn't have to avoid eating or drinking for 24 hours beforehand in order to get through it.
The Von Trapps also did not sneak out in the middle of the night during a concert nor did they escape through the mountains. They were already an established music group and left by train to perform a concert in Italy, where they were legal citizens because Georg had been born in what is now Croatia. The concert tour took them t the US, where they eventually applied for immigtant status. They also had ten kids, not seven, but who's counting? Georg and Maria had also been married for eleven years at that point. But the version of events as told in the movie/play, but it made for a better story with all those changes.
Shindlers List was incredible. I cried so hard, harder than I have in a movie. He was a good man who deserved more for his good deed
A movie I can never watch again. If a movie can do that, I cannot begin to imagine what the real thing was like
Damn, I forget how beautifully shot The Sound of Music is.
What’s brilliant about The Greatest Showman omitting so much is that we see this entertaining spectacle, and feel disappointed when we learn the truth. Much like how someone would feel going to the circus and finding out the truth behind the acts.
Unfortunately a lot of people don’t and think the movie was what actually happen.
Just like Barnum would have wanted. He'd love that people don't know how vile he really was.
Even thought The Greatest Showman is my favorite movie I want to see a biographical musical where Barnum is the villain
I have always known the truth and couldn't stand watching more than a few minutes even though I like many of the actors in it. They "Chicagoed" the story.
In Selena, I heard that Selena’s husband Chris didn’t get any royalties from Selena’s albums, merchandise,nothing. That his former in-laws, particularly Selena’s father Abraham would not give any money from Selena’s albums. Chris wrote an autobiography about his and Selena’s relationship. Chris went on to be remarried with children, but that second marriage ended up in divorce.
The Perfect Storm nailed it good, making us assume there were survivors but sadly none from the Andrea Gail. That got me.
How in hell did it leave you thinking anyone survived?? Who? The Mark Wahlberg character?? He was hundreds of miles out in a raging sea alone....while they didn't show his death only an idiot would assume he was able to survive.
@@diceguyg3799 I believe the captain of another boat included Wahlberg's character among those who perished in her eulogy. And the movie ends with the Andrea Gail being memorialized.
Where did the movie show survivors from the Gail? The only guy out of the boat in the film was in the storming ocean with no life jacket. Death sentence
@@fromthehaven94 I've never watched that movie again, but just remember that Clooney was in it. Was M.Walberg in it too??
(I effing hate movies with depressing endings like that one)
I have 3 that should have been honorable mentions. Ankh-es-en-amon from the Mummy movies was a real life person. What the movies do not tell is the fact that she was really cursed as she was the wife of King Tut and that both he and their child died really young. Second the movie Glory left out an important detail. 2 of the soldiers with Mass 54th were the sons of Fredrick Douglas. While they survived the battle, it took both men many years to finally come to terms with it. Finally Dottie Schroder, who the fiction Dottie Hensen in the movie A League of Their Own was based one was never married.
Damn didn't know about Glory. Knew the Mummy and A League of their own stories.
Dottie Hinson is based off career of Dottie Kamenshek and the position and appearance of Dottie Green. Plus Dottie K’s spouse was a lady named Margaret.
@@aishalee5924 Thanks for the update, I forgot about the other 2(I guess Dottie was a common nickname back then). One of my neighbors in the 1990s had played for the Rockford Peaches so that is how I knew about them. i guess Dottie Schroder had stuck in my mind because she was the only player to play all the seasons the league was in place, come to think of it though she never played for the Peaches. It was either the Daisies or Lassies, I forget which. I cannot remember what my neighbor's name was, one of these days I will see if I can look it up.
The truth behind Chris McCandless’s (Alexander Supertramp) death in the movie “Into the Wild” was more tragic than what was depicted in the film.
It was, but the book is incredible and way more accurate, depicts his life
How did he die in the book?
@@MASTEROFEVIL
He was alive, alive, alive, dead.
McCandless was a victim of his own ignorance and arrogance. I have zero sympathy for that idiot.
I thought "Judy" would be on this list. For a movie that covers the last months of Judy Garland's life, it cuts to the end before we can watch her demise. Honestly, for better.
There is a missing part somewhere with the Herman Boone entry. Back in '96, Mr. Boone was the instructor for my drivers ed class, so he must have eventually gotten rehired by ACPS. To my knowledge, he was regular faculty and was seen at school daily by everyone. On a side note, even then we were told someone was writing a script to make a movie about him but as us cynical GenX kids, we all shook our heads and went "A movie about Mr. Boone? yeah right"
He was fired as the football coach. He was not fired from teaching at TC Williams.
The saddest movie I've seen recently was "The Imitation Game". Most of us know what happens to Alan Turing at the end, but the way the movie alludes to it is so emotional, and well done. It's such a fascinating, but tragic story.
Another thing about Titanic. If they had just followed Violet Jessop's story, they could of played out a trilogy. As Violet Jessop- a.k.a "miss unsinkable" was the only known survivor of not just the Titanic. But two of it's other sister ships as well. Which all met a sinking disaster at different points at time.
One of them didn't sink. Was in a nasty collision maybe? But didn't go down. I believe it was the Olympic. It was two crewmembers, one male, one female that were on all three ships during their disaster. Which makes more sense than it being a passenger. Also, Olympic rammed and sank a U-boat during WW1. They fled the scene without stopping to pick up survivors.
Arthur John Priest.
@@tmclaug90 😲Oh yeah-. It was just decommissioned years later. Good catch. And Authur John Preist had the moniker "Unsinkable Stoker". While Violet Jessop was "Miss Unsinkable". I wonder if they had shipping compatriots to set them up together? If not, that would have certainly been a shame.😅
Probably to scared to date one another. Maybe they each blamed the other for their misfortune.
@@tmclaug90 Well, I still ship them.😉
I couldn't even finish "The Greatest Showman".
The fact that they had to omit the way he actually got started (with Joyce Heath) shows that they were not going to be showing his real life. His exploitation of people knew no bounds. Very, very dark and ending for a lot of the people in his "show", but it was at Barnum's own hand.
Eight Below, the true story happened in the 1950's and I think it was like 2 dogs survived out of 15 if I remember correctly. Accused is a great movie but that poor woman had a rough life, and I didn't know that she died so young.
eight below traumatized me as a child
One of my favorite "true stories" is Ghosts of Mississippi. It tells the re-trial for the murder of Medgar Evers. We covered the movie in my US History class in high school during our Civil Rights portion. Alec Baldwin stars as the lawyer that got the case reopened. The movie won't show this because it came out prior, but the real Bobby DeLaughter went on to become a judge and was sent to prison in 2009 on obstruction charges.
A whole movie w/ the Titanic should be done around top Baker Charles Joffen who was the only survivor to be pulled out of the water. Probably being heavily intoxicated helped him survive, but what should be focused on was him giving his seat on a life boat up and how he threw Chairs into the water for flotation devices.
He wasn't the only one look into it more and you'll see there were quite a few more.
How would being drunk stop you freezing to death?
Hunny no, there was way more ppl that were rescued from the water. But he was the last person to be on the Titanic since he rode on the back. But there were quite a few survivors, please research it hun.
@@robirvine6970 Numbs you to the pain. I'm guessing it kept him swimming around longer.
I do agree they should make a movie about the guy, it would be great.
12 Years a Slave ALSO left out not just horrific events but historically accurate/factual events as well. But I didn't really expect better.
something that is brushed out is that the slaves bought in Africa was purchased at the local (black owned) slave market
Went missing again 4 years after being returned home. That makes me sad, even if it’s been over 100 years.
In The Untouchables...Eliot Ness was fictionalized to have been married with children during the time the movie's narrative took place...in reality, Ness was not married, nor a father...but adding a fictitious family make the stakes of his risk of trying to take down the legendary organized crime boss Al Capone, seem much more fraught with danger
His career in law enforcement also took a nose dive and a career in politics ended before it ever really began. Ironically, he became an alcoholic. Still, the man is a legend.
An he never seen or talked to Al Capone
Interesting! Didn’t know that.
Thank you Quentin for changing how things happened for Sharon, Jay, Abigail and other victims. I know that made Sharon and her momma smile
Leonardo DiCaprio was in like 4 of these movies.
The real Oscar Schindler is living proof alone that karma is a load of nonsense. He was one of the greatest heroes in that generation and had such an undeserving end to his life.
I remember being frustrated when I learned the truth about Chrissy Brown last years. The movie has such an uplifting message about humanity, but reality makes you feel nauseated
Christy* Brown. I was typing in some of the names to reference them and got Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter from Chrissy Brown. 😁 I saw “My Left Foot” decades ago. So brutal and moving. Where Daniel Day-Lewis showed the exceptional actor he was and came to be.
The dread leading up to the ending of Once Upon a Time was awful. I felt like I was spying on this young woman enjoying her life who I knew was about to meet a grisly fate. How could I enjoy looking at her? Young and pregnant, full of what appears to be actual happiness. Well, I laughed like a maniac for a good 4 minutes there near the end and I took such pleasure in seeing it that I started to question my own sanity.
The Imitation Game's ending was not nearly as horrific as how Alan Turing was actually treated after playing a crucial part in the Allies winning WW2.
There was a movie from the early 90s based on a true story called Murder in the First with Kevin Bacon and CHristian Slater where Bacon as a prisoner on Alcatraz was there because he stole for to feed his little sister when the real man he was playing was a career criminal doing time for rapes and murdering his rape victims. The prisoner later was transferred to another prison, then made parole and dropped off the face of the Earth. The movie is based on a case where a San Francisco journalist proved people were being tortured by guards on Alcatraz but they totally white washed the prisoner that Bacon's character was based on.
well damn i just watched that movie not to long ago and i admit i did not do research on this. Pretty messed up!
Holy crap!!! I forgot about that movie but was really affected by it at the time! Couldn't stop thi king of that poor man....yeesh. 🤨
According to wikipedia, he was a bank robber and a murderer but I do recall hearing somewhere, the man was a rapist and murderer, too.
Speaking of Alcatraz, the movie Birdman of Alcatraz with Burt Lancaster playing Rober Stroud was completely whitewashed, also😖
Great movie though! Kevin Bacon was amazing in it!
I very much enjoyed the thoughtful, intelligent tone of this video. I'm looking forward to watching more. Keep it up!
I have severe PTSD and night terrors happen when you fall asleep and the memories come back to life so real you can touch, taste, smell, hear, everything. All the suffering happens again and again and you cannot wake yourself up.
Unfortunately when someone does manage to wake you up you often attack the person because you think it's the past hurting you. My husband is a hero to me for being able to pull me out of those night terrors and understand I'm trying to hurt him. In my mind I'm literally fighting for my life.
The Conviction one got to me. I love that movie; I believe Sam Rockwell should’ve won his first Oscar for that performance, and Hilary Swank another. It’s really sad that the real life Kenny accidentally died only after a few months of freedom.
Definitely did not know the truth to some of these endings, don’t believe many who would know All of them. 👏🎥 ❤️ *Respect* ✊
Yes. Very interesting video. Thank you watch mojo
Would you want to play them out completely?
@@tianapitesr8553 Haha! Umm..No? That is after all what makes a movie a movie? 🎥 Personally, of course, would much rather see a happy ending to tragic events in a “Movie” otherwise I’d just watch a “Documentary” on the story itself..anything else? 💭

@@yourworstnightmare1332 hahahaha!!!!
That was literally the point of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood though...to have a cathartic alternative outcome..
With 'Once Upon a Time In Hollywood' the changed ending is literally THE WHOLE POINT O F THE FILM! That is why it's 'Once Upon a Time' - the traditional beginning to FAIRY TALES. Tarantino has taken what everyone knows to be a story with a tragic ending and has instead given it the traditional fairy tale happy ending. Hollywood has a dark underbelly and is full of real life tragedies, but it's also 'the Dream Factory' - so what better place to set a fairy story where reality is subverted and instead the baddies get their comeuppance and the princess lives happily ever after...
Flight (2012) - it claims to be based on true events; the disaster in the film is inspired by a real crash, but while in the film most of the people on-board survive in the real disaster everyone died.
alaska airlines flight 261, I've seen a documentary about it, and it's an awful heartbreaking crash.
Seriously though, Pocahontas should have just been an original movie, story, and character not named Pocahontas for being so inaccurate.
Hate that movie, burn it with fire.
That's Disney in a nutshell.
idk if you're are old enough to remember it, but disney would not make pocahontas have actual amerind features. Instead they used computers to blend 26 different types of faces from around the world ... and their pocahontas came out looking like a supermodel with no nose.
apparently they had caught flack because they made Aladdin's Jasmine look a little bit ethnic by having a genuine sized nose.
Apparently consumers did not want disney princesses to have noses at all, thus pocahontas.
What's so ironic about Pocahontas is the fact that many of the creators thought it was going to be a huge hit. And they made it around the same time they were making the Lion King and many working on the Lion King wanted to work on Pocahontas instead.
Fun fact about the house used in The Sound of Music. It was the house Hedy Lamarr, actress and the inventor of spread spectrum broadcastings used in all forms of wireless communications to this very day, and her husband an arms manufactorer till she fled to the U.S. Just the story of her escape alone would make a more compelling movie then The Sound of Music.
I agree, not only just because I fucking hate Sound of Music and would rather watch almost anything else.
(Also, I’ve seen Blazing Saddles far too many times, because in my head, I heard “That’s *Hedley*!” )
My reaction upon watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ending for the first time literally was "Tarantino finally brought some sense and reason to that woeful night".... and Tarantino's version actually includes a friggin flamethrower.
… “how stella got her groove back” . the man she marries at the end, turned out to be a closeted homosexual in real life, and she discovers this years after the book/movie was released . He only used her to get to America . but, “watchmojo” doesn’t do black films …
He not only turned out gay, he also sued her for half of her possesions.
"To get to America" I know someone who got married to a guy so he could get citizenship. Turned out to be abusive trash. Never do it. Friend of the family, known them forever, don't care. Never do it. Make them get it on their own.
@@DarlingNicky Damn. Always ask for a prenup, kids...
He nearly broke her. So sad
Watch mojo is Tbe kind of fake woke channel that believed the green book deserved the Oscar and wasn’t an insult ! 😂
Schindler is a great example that greatness and incredible compassion and action comes from unlikely places. There's nothing superheroesque about most people that do such things
I asked a one of the Schindler elevator repairman if there was connection to Oscar Schindler at first he said no. Then, he realized yes and that the guy who founded the elevator company was a cousin to Oscar Schindler.

About the number 2, yes I do not mind Tarantino changing the history of the Manson murders
After all, he did the same with WW II in Inglorious Bastards
As a big Sharon Tate fan ,I must agree
Yeah, after seeing him burn the third reich and blow Hitler’s face into bloody hamburger, I welcomed his exaggerated change in history with OUATIH.
Yes I love how he changed the stories of Sharon Tate and company along the Nazis and the slave masters.
I mean, it was well known that the movie was a fictionalized version of the story. So why would anyone mind that it was changed?
Ron Howard also left out John Nash getting arrested for soliciting a male undercover cop🤣🤣🤣
Clint Eastwood's take on the story that inspired Changeling really rubs me the wrong way... He cut out details to make the story more palletable, and made a BS ending where Christine Collins had a love interest... No, she died alone, never ever giving up hope about her son and never having a love interest.
This is similar to how they ended the movie “Miss Potter.” The actual Miss Potter never moved on from the death of her first husband like the movie tried to imply with a new potential love interest. The author herself protested this portrayal as she was still mourning that loss after so many years. It was in fact a really sad story.
@@lacountess Yeah, exactly! I hate when they do that... It's one thing when it's done like Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds or OUATIH, but movies being all serious about the "based on a true story" only to then use the Hallmark-brush on the story to make it less visceral and depressing makes me feel cheated.
And the Canadian boy. Years later in 1962, his next door neighbor, a young nurse, went missing. Her body was found 2 weeks later in a shallow grave by a river just blocks away. It could be just a coincidence but it’s a hell of a coincidence.
*palatable
They actually found her son’s body on the farm. I can’t remember the name of the book, but the author was the nephew of the killer.
dude you do understand that saying the abbreviation "WW2" is 4 more syllables than "world war 2" right?
🤣I thought that was so weird when I heard it. Glad I wasn’t alone
When Coach Boone denied his players water while running 2 a day practices, it's not hard to believe he was abusive to players.
At my grandfather's death over a decade ago, he only weighed around 88 pounds, himself, which is a sign of alzheimers disease as patients stop eating towards the end. It's possible that Howard Hughes also secretly suffered from this, too
Good point. It’s a cruel illness, my mum passed of it as well.
I didn’t know about the 12 years a slave real ending but…..I thank God for freeing my people through the justice system of a nation divided.
But it felt so confused
Even more tragic was patsy. She was only about 14-15 at the time of the film and was suffering the worst abuses. She was liberated by Union troops in 1863 I believe, but there is no mention of her after that.
WAKANDA FOREVER
Lol yet your people act like it happened just yesterday.
@@S1aughtahyou Exactly. Bet none of them ever heard of the Barbarey Slave Trade Africans taking whites as slaves before theres even happened lmao dont see us crying about it
Now Nash may not have made that exact same speech in the film but A beautiful mind did get the fact right that nash made a almost full recovery using mostly his own mind. A miracle if I ever saw one. Interviews in his later proves this. Also you should have added nashes own son would eventually have schizophrenia as well.
It should be noted the psychology profession no longer calls it PTSD. The term has been deprecated in favor of PTSS or simply PTS. They don’t want to imply that the reaction is unnatural.
US still uses PTSD as defined in the DSM - V. At least until the DSM-V-TR drops sometime this month (March 2022). May or may not change then, though, not sure since it hasn’t been published yet.
That's weird. Because it is a disorder. Why remove that?
@@cherylbo889 short answer? To try to reduce stigma associated with mental health issues. Long answer? Try is the operative word and while most people will suffer some stress after a traumatic event so, yeah, it is a “normal” reaction in that sense - clinical diagnosis means that the stress reaction is either of an intensity or duration that it interferes in major life function and is “disordered.” Not that PTSS - Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is all that different. Syndrome vs Disorder is a matter of semantics. The understanding of PTSD and how it is classified and treated have changed dramatically over the last 40+ years. We now know that it’s far more common and that the types of trauma that can cause it are more varied than once thought. This is a good thing - more understanding, better treatment options, more folks getting help, etc. Lots of folks with what we know as PTSD today would have been diagnosed as having “shell shock” or “hysteria” or be labeled as morally or mentally deficient in the past. All of which are problematic since they have heaping piles of judgements and stigma attached. Some language changes are aimed at trying to overcome that prejudice. Others reflect better understanding. Some do, or at least attempt, both.
@@angelairidescenceartglass6289 one could also look at it the opposite way, that taking out the "disorder" minimizes it. George Carlin did a routine about how bad things have become "sanitized" over time, by changing words.
@@angelairidescenceartglass6289 In my opinion it is understandable but not normal. People literally suffer from it. I have to note there is no "blame" here. Your brain develops PTSD as a way to survive at that moment. But after a while you need to heal and you can't really if you're caught in a loop of suffering. I explain it as an huge alarm that goes off at times when it's not necessary (anymore). Ofcourse we all have different experiences. But I do believe our brains are wired a certain way. Especially when it comes to PTSD. I have had PTSD for a long time and have been PTSD-free for a year now. It has been a huge battle (understatement) but it was worth it. I will never be the same as someone who never experienced it. But I'm not suffering anymore. And that is so important for your quality of life. I wish you guys peace. It's what I've craved for for so long and now I lived it I'm 100% sure it is not something that should be "normal" and not treated. PTSD should always be treated if possible. It is hell on earth.

Remember the Titans left out/changed many details. The school integrated years before Boone became the head coach, the town was supportive of the team, Gerry Bertier wasn’t in the car crash until after the season, and they won the championship in a blowout not a come from behind win.
Remember the Titans was filmed at Berry College where my best friend attended college. It was during that time the movie was filmed so they saw the movie production first hand and saw Washington get into a car, he waved. But the room he’s giving the speech in is the old food hall it’s not used anymore (well wasn’t then) except for rental space like receptions etc. But you could go in back then it wasn’t always locked so I’ve been in it like many others and a friend got married at Berry and the reception was in there. So every time I see this scene and many others, I’m hit with the nostalgia of college. (I was at the University of Georgia and we’d go back and forth to visit each other. And we are still friends to this day)
The TITANIC story is actually even worse. Because of a pay dispute, the musicians were technically passengers.
I give Once Upon a Time in Hollywood a pass. It was openly an alternative history; they weren’t trying to sanitize or cover anything up.
It’s a shame that you guys didn’t include Amistad. Joseph Cinque, who fought so bravely for freedom, ended up returning to Africa where he lived a fruitful life and died a (wait for it) a slave trader. Smh. Hypocrisy.
Gladiator was a remake of the 1964 movie Fall of the Roman Empire. They cover the same period of time where the last of the good emperors Marcus Aurelius dies and is followed as Emperor by his son the horrible gladiator emperor Commodus. In Gladiator Maximus the former general kills Commodus in the arena and though he dies, Commodus's sister then starts a rule in Rome that involves the senators and is supposed be like the ancient Roman Republic.
Commodus actually was emperor for 15 years. He killed his sister in the first couple years of his reign. He was killed in his bed/assassinated by a wrestler. The Praetorian than auctioned off the emperorship. A senator Pertinax was the highest bidder but died within the year. The next year was the infamous year of the five emperors where five different men were emperor for a part of the year as they pulled the Empire apart. There was never a return to the republic or the democracy suggested at the end of the movie. The Emperor Septimus Severus fully restored the Empire a year after the death of Commodus.
The point of the original movie was that this was the last bright moment of the empire under Aurelius. The movie Gladiator gave you some sort of roman democracy fantasy ending
10:18 holy shit, sudden memory unlocked! that little snippet of adverts on VHS tapes you had to fast forward through to watch the film - that would ALWAYS be on ANYTHING
The movie "Burden" is the story of a guy that sells something and has a realization. They changed so many things from real life that it's hard to recognize who or what the original story was from watching the movie, however this movie was about my grandfather as well as Mike Burden and the Preacher and due to my broken life my parents were split up and my father ended up in jail so he brought us to my grandpa's home so my mother wouldn't get custody.
I lived with my grandpa around this movies time (1996) and they changed a lot of things to make the story have heroic parts and to keep from having to pay royalties to me grandpa's kids. I don't condone anything he did in his past or support him, he died a hated man and not even his children cried in his last days for his death from what my brother told me. I haven't spoken to my father in years either. My grandpa was a hateful man and was far from a hero but i will say that Mike Burden wasn't a hero and if anyone in that story can be called one, it's the Preacher that bought the item. I didn't want to spoil the movie so I kept things vague

Hollywood prefers happy endings. Besides, most “based on a true story” movies will include only a small part of the story. If they included everything, each movie would be 10 hours long.
Movies are just long snapshots
I’ve heard about the Accuse movie growing up in New Bedford MA which is something that doesn’t often happen here.
You left out the ending of Nitram. Absolutely sickening buildup but the abrupt cut was an incredible relief and great act of respect.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was absolutely amazing 💯
The band on the Titanic may have died but at least they didn't die in vain and now they're spending all eternity playing music for the afterlife.
It was very complex about how they will survive
Or the rumours that Thomas Andrews was seen in a lifeboat.
watching 12 years a slave for a class was such a heartbreaking experience. i read the book first and had to take breaks to finish it.
Great job! However, the 1997 ‘true’ movie Buddy had a horrible real ending. Would love u2 do a video about that. Poor Buddy in the movie ended up at a peaceful sanctuary, but in real life the gorilla was sold to a circus. Thanks for all your channel does!
