Pfft, Zuckerberg deserves all the criticism he gets.
Can’t hurt a robot’s feelings 🤷🏻♀️
Looks like he spent his public life catching up (or down?) with the movie caracter's shortcomings. He succeeded in becoming even more unlikeable.
David Fincher can't block Mark Zuckerberg's shtoyle
@@Viking_Luchador few know the origins of that phrase?
And more.
I wish Zuckerberg was actually like his portrayal in the film, he'd actually seem human and not a lizard man
Him a bill gates only care about there company there selll the world out for it
@@justlikebck5162 Yea, like the dude who has donated the most money for health ain't doing enough
He's not a lizard man.......he's a straight up robot.
@@boyankovachev7982 yea for tax write offs which they pay way less then they should !!
Boyan Kovachev give away more than half and you won’t need to be questioned by us plebs
What about Jenny Lind from the greatest showman? She was definitely portrayed poorly to add drama and to make P.T. Barnum look less like a jerk then he really was
It may annoy Mark Zuckerberg, but it definitely didn't ruin his life, or career.
He doesn't need them to look bad, he did it himself
@@eninja35gamer46 yeah but it doesn't matter how he looks
He did that to himself by being an insufferable prick, spying on us, stealing and selling our personal information and censorship practices he obviously borrowed from the CCP

@1-800-Wavy you're welcome to try and make me
I used to talk to someone who thought that if it was a "historical" Hollywood film, it actually happened. He even got a touch snippy when I said certain things were done to up the drama and make a better story. Let's just say I stopped talking about movies with him after that.
Braveheart is packed with errors, literally from the first sentence of the opening narration, which has King Alexander III dying without living children in 1286 -- actually, he died four years later, and both his sons were alive as well; to the closing shot, which has Robert the Bruce starting the Battle of Bannockburn immediately after hearing of William Wallace's death -- which had occurred nine years before that battle. My favorite bit of nonsense in the movie has Wallace having a one-night stand with the Prince of Wales' wife, Isabella, and possibly fathering the future Edward III. In fact, the two never met -- Isabella didn't come to England until after Wallace was executed, and his one visit to France occurred when she was a baby. Moreover, Isabella was a child of eight when Wallace died, and Edward III was born seven years after Wallace's death.
I truly admire your patience and understanding! If I were in your position, I don't know how I'd resist making fun of him after he got snippy about historical films being 100% accurate. I'd probably keep showing him things like History of the World Part One and Life of Brian and insisting it was all true because it was in a movie...
@@MegaFortinbras a film that got everything wrong, including the name.
@@alanmackinnon3516 Yes, "Braveheart" refers to Robert the Bruce, not Wallace.
I'm surprised Salieri in Amadeus didn't make this list.
I thought *Armadaus* reignited Salieris populariety.
It painted Salieri as a petty man bent on ruining a man because of jealousy. He was actually one of Mozart's biggest supporters and would go out of his way to help him.
Cause people who watch RUclips and who create this pretty ignore every movie pre-1995 cause most were born in the 90s and they never even saw Amadeus.
@@GD1082 That is rather unfair of you. They have included clips from decades prior to 1990 on plenty of occasions - including this one ala Bonnie & Clyde.
I watched this just because I thought Salieri would be included!
300 is based on the Graphic Novel. Should've talked to someone in WhatCulture Comics.😅
Research is hard
Why?
They'd only talk to WhatCulture Comics if they knew it was based on a graphic novel, otherwise it suggests they'd be running everything past WhatCulture Comics, and if they knew it was based on a graphic novel, why would they need to be talking to WhatCulture Comics?
Also most of the “cheesy “ lines were based on things actually recorded as things Spartans did say, there is a great article on this on Fact Fiend
@@MrAngryThing13 i believe it.
@@darrylhamlin7475 it's Lazy af. A simple Google search would have helped them Immensely.😅
Now do the opposite and show movies that make heroes out of douchebags, and get the greatest showman in there
oh yeah and Christopher Columbus (with 1492)
I'm sure we could get a full ten of them without issue ^^
Is there a movie about Chuck Yeager? In real life he was a textbook definition of a sexist. Not the, "I didn't like the 2016 Ghostbusters movie, because I didn't find it funny," kind of sexist that gets thrown around all willy nilly, but rather the true, "I don't want a woman working on my plane, because they are inferior," definition.
I refuse to NOT sit through that mess!!
Great idea! The main character of "Into the wild" would be an example for the opposite.
The dude from American Sniper comes to mind. He's depicted as a relatable war hero but truth is he was just a cold blooded murderer who enjoyed killing and made up stories about killing looters and such.
At this point, everyone knows Eisenberg was playing Eisenberg.
Max Baer made Sacramento, my hometown, his home. He was loved by everyone and was known for his charity. The whole city turned out for his funeral. I have had no desire to watch Cinderella Man after learning about its maligned portrayal of such a beloved figure.
And that's exactly what someone should do if they do not support the portrayal of any character in a movie.
And his brother Parley was a docent at the Capitol during the '70s; I met him while on a school field trip. He was nice and he mentioned his brother Max, but I was too young to appreciate that fact.
@@escherking643 And his son did a pretty good job as Jethro...
His son is Max Jr. from The Beverly Hillbillies.
@@davdhartung9817 Thank you, because I was getting ready to google that thinking only of Jethro.
I remember the descendants of Private Hook, complaining heavily about his depiction in the Classic movie Zulu.
Even though he earned a Victoria Cross for his actions during the Rourkes Drift incident in Natal, he was wrongfully depicted as a malingerer and a coward.
Amazed this didn't make the List
He ended his career as a Sergeant Major.
@@jjstak98h Good point. Well you certainly wouldn't have guessed that outcome from the film.
Films do affect historical perceptions. People who never read a book about the Zulu War will have watched "Zulu" and have their view of the war derived from that. This applies to many other films adapted from historical events.
He was a tee-total Methodist and not some drunken letch as he's portrayed. His family walked out of the screening of the film in total disgust.
"....a malingerer and a coward..." Malingerer, perhaps. Coward, don't think so. Seen the movie many times over the years and I never got any impression of "cowardice" from the character. For that matter, he had legitimate cause to be in hospital so even "malingerer" is questionable. As I recall, a Sergeant with a fever accuses him, but the Sergeant character is plainly sick and unreliable himself...
In fact it's pretty doubtful that any "historical" film ever made hasn't slandered any number of people...
I recently watched a conference with Al Pacino where he explains to some aspiring actors that they have to understand that if the play Richard III, for example, they're playing William Shakespeare's interpretation of the character, not the real historic person. That is true to most depictions of people, either books, documentaries, poems, or movies about famous people are only going to be the understanding of that person's character from the perspective of the person who is depicting him or her.
Let's be honest, the real Zuckerberg doesn't do himself any favors when it comes to giving off the impression of being anything more or different than the Jesse Eisenberg portrayal
If anything the Movie was too kind
I bet Jesse Eisenberg is more likable than Mark Zuckerberg (which doesn't mean much)
To be honest, when I saw 300 I just thought I was watching a Zangief vs Dalsim battle on street fighter.
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder how many got this reference? Haha
Zuckerberg said he didn’t want a movie to be made about him when he was alive. But when was he ever alive?
The blind side annoyed me they made the family look so good in every possible way
And what's annoying about that?
Titanic
"I wanted to show him as honorable!"
Shows him as a bloodthirsty, corrupt, killer.
Also Titanic
grosses 2 BILLION.
"Here's 5000, now go away."
Poor guy, that money was crap compare to money still Titanic makes
I suppose it could also be said that the Titanic film has kind of ruined the memory of everyone that died on that ship...because all the little teenyboppers that saw it keep insisting that Jack and Rose are real, and don't seem to pay much attention to the 1500+ real people that lost their lives in that disaster.
@@roxbuchanan6357 I've always felt off about this movie. Now I know why.
300 is based on a comic book.
Ironically, probably one of the more accurate comic book movies made.
Definitely NOT a Historical Account.
Really think people forget that lol.
300 (comic and movie) were based on the battle of Thermopylae, a real event. But it was a fictionalized retelling. Leonidas and Xerxes were real ppl
Sin City style
People also forget that it is told as a campfire story the night before a battle with said Persians, so turning them into something less than human is understandable.
I don't understand why people saw that as offensive. You see through the Spartans eyes. We see them as monsters as they are trying to invade their homeland.
I really hope Sorkin makes The Social Network 2. I would love to see Jesse Eisenberg, playing Mark Zuckerberg, complain about how “The Social Network” totally mischaracterized him. It would be the most meta thing ever put on screen
If someone sees “based on a true story” and thinks that the movie is going to be the exact same as what happened in real life then maybe you should just stick to books.
Unfortunately, the same thing applies to many books.
I think Cameron was going for a kind of "look what panic can do to even the most honorable of men" thing with Murdoch, but still I think he could have accomplished it another way
I agree. I don't think of the character as "dishonorable" or a "murderer" or a "coward." He's shown as being in over his head in the moment. He immediately regrets it and shoots himself in atonement.
Wait 300 wasn’t historically accurate?....mind blown lol
🤯
I know, who thought a movie based on a comic book wouldn't be historically accurate?
Greek and others had slaves, Persian dont
@@razofdead citation needed 🤣🤣🤣
Alfred Henry Hook in Zulu. He was depicted as a lazy, bullying malingerer.
Was hoping he'd turn up in this list
I've heard that Henry Hook's daughters attended the London premiere of the film, and were so disgusted by the portrayal of their father that they walked out of the theatre.
Only watched Zulu the other night for like 200th time, they acknowledge this in a making of documentary on the DVD
I think Hook went on to reach the rank of Sergeant Major as well
Damnit, somebody beat me to this one. “Hooky” ended up becoming a Sergeant Major.
Wait, did people not realize the concept that 300 is told by the storyteller. So of course the Persian army would be made out to look and be worse than they were? It's propaganda. Of course the army are gonna be made out to be supernatural and beastly while their god king would have to be bigger than life and grandiose so when Leonitas stands against him it would seem more impressive.
People are moronic in such a vast scale as to be greater than the whole of the infinite cosmos.
300 was not even a good fictional account. The true events are far more impressive.
Also, it's based on a comic book.
@@micah4029 Right, I always forget that it's actually a comic book movie. Even if the comic twists the historical events as well the movie is based on that twisting. It's not a historical movie at all.
You will note that of all the Greek actors in Hollywood, none of them are in the 300.
300 was a comic book film, not a historical attempt at all. It is based on Frank Miller's "300", which is a graphic novel.
wich is based on history :)
Correct. people make too much of it. However, people think it is history. Not only that, it also perpetuate the myth of the 300. Most people do not realize that they were 700 of Hoplites fighting with the 300 Spartans. The initial battle there were a lot more as well. Leonidas was the leader of the force, so the Spartans had to remain while the bulk of the army left. It is ashamed that the other Hoplites who sacrificed are large forgotten.
The HighwayMen was an AMAZING movie. I truly hope that Frank Hamers' Family approved of this portrayal. I read up on his character bc of it and he was more before his age than you'd think by his rebuffs of the future coming into his life.
Here's one. "Glory" Robert Gould Shaw. Shaw was the son of abolitionists who commanded the 54th Massachusetts infantry, a unit of black soldiers, in the Civil War. There's a scene where Shaw, played by Matthew Broderick, orders a deserter, played by Denzel Washington, tied up and whipped. In reality the U.S. Army in the 1830's had banned whipping as a form of punishment and there were no reports of unauthorized beatings taking place, on either black or white soldiers, without the commanding officer being punished. It is certain that Shaw would never order a soldier whipped, especially a black man, but the filmmakers wanted to tie the story more closely to the outrage of slavery. Don't know if Shaw's family took any legal action.
Thanks for this comment.
Zuck was already dating Priscilla when he started The Facebook. That girl in the movie doesn't exist.
Xerxes family are embarrassed about going outside...
I'll be proud come on my ancestor was like god with awesome body.. plus intregate people of all races and looks... giving good job, not waterboy like leonidas did it.
So the elephant man entry mentions its based on a book, but the 300 entry fails to mention its based on a graphic novel?
Sad thing is 300 is based on a comic book and isn't even supposed to be anywhere near a marginally accurate depiction of either side... it's a stylized version of events... Similar to how folklore in most cultures depicts enemies as demons with a god-like "boss" at the helm and the over exagerrated "Heroes"come out triumphant.
I mean, if we;re gonna pick at things like that, what about the film "Das Boot" where it depicts the Americans as the heroes wherein it was actually a British submarine and crew that were the real life heroes
not only that, but in context, the entire movie is more of less a general telling a story to his troops to hype them up for the coming battle.
the Persians are depicted as monsters and mutants because that's what the story teller tells the troops. in context it all makes sense.
It's a Shame that some movies ruined a persons life
umm yeah the movie 300 was partly made up even the director himself said that it wasn't History accurate, Xerxus wasn't 10ft tall god like bloke with a load of earrings around his body and the Spartans did wear armour. but it's a good film if you want to watch gorgeous men running around in nothing but the pants.
Also, the Persian army did not have giants with swords for arms.
300 was based on the graphic novel of the same name by Frank Miller.
"Mutiny of the Bounty" (1962) depicted Captain William Bligh as a sadistic Captain and 1st Lt. Fletcher Christian as one who led a righteous mutiny. "The Bounty" (1984) depicts a more accuate view of the events and historic figures.
If you read the description of Fletcher Christian on Pitcairn Island he quite obviously had a mental health problem.
What also did for Bligh was his governorship of Australia,or new Zealand,I forgot which, where there was an uprising against him and he got thrown out.
I heard Spartans were actually the *KING* of one-liners
Look up the FactFiend channel if you're interested
The most famous of which was their response to a lengthy threat containing a single word: "if".
They really were, it was even something they trained their children for.
That is very interesting!
If you would have asked me who Jack Dunn was in Spotlight, I wouldn't know who you were talking about and I've seen that movie multiple times.
Boxer Joey Giardello sued the makers of the movie "The Hurricane" over how he was portrayed in that film, in particular, how his match against Rubin Carter was depicted.
I came here to say the same thing. Obviously I'm 15 hours too late
Exactly
At least Zuckerberg is alive to defend himself for The Social Network, many don't get that chance
At least Zuckerberg is allowed to defend himself for the Social Network, many of his victims don't get the chance on his cancerous social network.
I remeber how Richard Jewell was treated. The media did royally screw up his life and reputation.
Makes it hard to sympathise with the reporters
lived near and went to high school in Dalbeattie, where Murdoch is from. They have a plaque there commemorating him with pardon from James Cameron on it
Is interesting how many of these films were produced with the intent of correcting the record on the main character only to be accused of inaccurately portraying others.
Didn't mean to depict Murdock has anything other than a honourable man, so did Cameroon somehow just do it be mistake.
Cameron's an egomaniacal d-bag who always assumes he's the smartest person on the room and is never right.
Let me guess. You used Twitter as your source material for this list.
in murdochcase the story of him killing someone started over an alleged statement( i forget from where) that the chief officer killed a passenger. it was assumed this refered to murdoch. he was the 1st officer but he was not the chief officer.
Your comment is very interesting. Most people don’t realize that books and movies fail to mention Chief Officer Wilde or account for his activities. The account of a suicide is, to a large degree, based on the recollection of a 17 year old boy. After much reading, I believe that most shots fired were by the 5th Officer using his own pistol, a .32 Browning. There is also a mysterious gap in Lowe’s account of his activities.
Also most everyone involved with Braveheart.
Probably for the best. "Here is our hero killing some nuns, great man"
@@privatebaldric8767 and the guy actually called "Braveheart" is not even the one the movie is about.
I didn't know that they claimed 300 was based on a true story.
I thought it was made very clear that it was based on the comic book.
The story of the 300 Spartans was a true story but it is totally a separate story from 300 the comic book.
No. 1 isn’t Amadeus’ depiction of Salieri? To this day it completely distorts people’s view on the man, and created a a whole fictional rivalry that never existed in real life.
What about the depiction of Bruce Lee by Quentin Tarantino in “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”? Lee’s family got upset with it, although that was the best movie that came out that year low key
Well the movie isn't meant to be realistic.
The movie's title is literally "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
It is almost like a fairytale.
That scene is a dream scene. Later in the movie you can see a scene in which he trains with Sharon Tate and he seems completely different than in that dream scene at least to me.
That part with Bruce lee was meant to be fiction.
That film was kinda whack, I dont know anyone who's seen it who actually enjoyed it, and the ending was soo random
You missed the Italian composer Antonio Salieri's depiction in the Amadeus movie.
kinda funny how Richard jewell was ruined by the. media- yet the media whined when Eastwood gave them a dose of their own medicine.
Why even include 300 on here, it is based on a comic. That is just like including a superhero movies in a list of movies that are not realistic. Especially since other films are clearly trying to be closer to biographical depictions like Imitation game, Cinderella man, etc.
If they wanted a "Villain" to show a character struggles and what they went through why not just make one up, make a fictional villain and explain that in the credits
WWE one liners? Lol, better look up Laconic wit.... Also, 300 is not a historical retelling, like Braveheart, it's a story that is brought to life. in the case of 300.. a bard.
Exactly 👌
Kathy Scruggs was actually treated more than fairly. Her behavior, and that of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, during that episode was abysmal.
They ruined Richard Jewell’s entire life
@@thedeepfriar745 And they've continued to try and evade that responsibility ever since.
Rescue Dawn: Gene DeBruin (played by Jeremy Davies) was depicted as a villain, selfish and in the way of the hero Dieter Dengler. In Dengler's book that the movie was based on, Debruin was described as the hero of the situation. He was a true leader, and mastermind of the escape. Many things Debruin did were portayed as Dengler's actions. Debruin stayed behind to take care of a POW too sick to leave, this cost him his life. Dengler's family stated that Dengler would probably have disliked the movie for how Debruin was portrayed.
300 was actually based on frank miller's graphic novel, which was an über-fictionalized retelling of leonidas and his army. Hard to pin the blame on zack for it.
300 is framed as a story being told by a Spartan, so it contextually makes sense that their enemies are being demonized.
Highwaymen was Epic, brilliant, story line, music, acting, music used, 10/10 for me...
"how rarely Hollywood depicts middle-eastern characters with anything even remotely close to nuance"

I don't understand why you picked William Murdoch over J. Bruce Ismay, who is villainized in literally every single Titanic movie. It's his reputation that was truly ruined forever, not Murdoch's and nobody ever speaks in his defence
Very true
because Bruce Ismay is indefensible
@@Baysidemom2 The fact that you're saying this only proves my point to people who know real Ismay and not just movie Ismay
@@professormicron6470 nope
@@Baysidemom2 This must be the most eloquent reply to a comment I have ever received
For those who wonder about the odd looking wavy rank stripes on Commander Dennison's uniform. They signify that he was in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve. The RN actually had two reserves for officers, the Royal Navy Reserve was for men who had Merchant Marine tickets, and so would know navigation and ship handling. The RNVR was for everyone else. The ribbons on his uniform are for the Order of St Michael and St George, which he got for his service at the Foreign Office, the Order of the British Empire, which he got for his code breaking work previously, and the World War I victory medal.
Never got the problem with Murdoch from "Titanic". When first I saw this movie I was impressed that he was the only one (besides Rose of course) to stand up to Cal and his money. Then it is clear, that he did not commit murder in the film rather than desperatly trying to mentain order to save lifes. And that he is remoresful for accidently bringing the death of two people makes him a tragic figure at worst but in no way do I see his reputation as ruined. He more seems to be an honorable officer, a human being who tries his best in an extreme situation. If only more could show this courage in real life like Murdoch has in the movie. :/ But I guess in real lufe it is not that simple.
Sucks to be accused of something with no factual basis doesn’t it😂
And then idiots keep the lie going after watching a movie or show.
What about Ike Turner's depiction in What's Love Got To Do With It, he was a flawed man but the movie made him down right sadistic.
He may have built Facebook for different reasons but they nailed his personality down pat
Weren't a number of the "one-liners" from 300 actually said?
Perhaps Hollywood thinks no one will bother to do their own research, to find out the truth, so they figure they can get by with it. It's just another way of rewriting history. And yes, as a Persian, I can say we aren't thrilled with how Persians were depicted in the movie 300. It's ridiculous.
I sympathize. As a history lover, I cringed at the 300. The Persian Empire was remarkable, legendary, and liberal. One of the greatest Persian generals was a woman in charge of the navy, which infuriated the Greeks as they looked down on women. She also loved Xerxes and went out of her way to show off on the battlefield for him.
@@persismedina288 yes, the Persian Empire was indeed remarkable and legendary. It's too bad people today do not know of our many great historical contributions to civilization.
Also.... with regard to Hollywood's depiction of Persians, we'd also appreciate if they'd stop using white peoole with British accents to play Persian roles.

Murdoch was in charge of the bridge when the titanic hit the ice berg after the titanic ignored multiple warning of ice bergs from other ships
The problem was a full moon on a calm night. The lookouts couldn't see the iceberg til it was almost ontop of them, due to light reflecting off the water. Every thing else was fairly standard for the time period.
The whole point of 300 was that it them retelling their legend. It was their point of view
300 was based on a comic series by Sin City author Frank Miller and his wife (since divorced) Lynn Varley. So any creative license was initially theirs, and the series did get panned for historical inaccuracies, even leading to accusations of homophobia. But I don't think there was really much intention on Miller's part to be completely accurate to the historical account.
Private Hook in Zulu is a good example of this, in the film he is shown to be a criminal and a disgraced, but in real life he was apparently quite the opposite. He was in fact more reminiscent of Colour Sergeant Bourne than his film depiction and one of the 11 Victoria Crosses awarded at the battle of Rourke's Drift.
We need a part two on this subject, there are so many people who’ve had their reputations ruined bc of movies
3:56 Warner "Bro's" LMAO!!!
I thought 300 was a adaptation of a graphic novel, so lots of creative liberties with history were taken
Dan Devine in "Rudy" should be in "Part 2" version of this. He was not the jerk has portrayed in the movie. It was his idea to dress Rudy for the game vs Ga. Tech and to play him.
Why I watch any movie 'based on/inspired by/depicting' real life events or people with a giant tub of salt...
There's a fight shown in "The Hurricane" where Rubin Carter fights a white guy to the point of nearly beating him, only to lose because of racist judges. Guy he fought (don't remember his name, sorry) sued over this, since in reality he beat Carter like a rented drum.
Also, a list of people who had their reputations unjustly improved because of movies would be nice to see.
Let's all pretend she didn't say asshole.

The Spartans were known for their physical attributes, and were also well known for their one liners,the theory is they could draw blood from a person with their words as well as a sword
As for making the Persians appear as though they were non human th3y were 3nemies it was told from a Spartan view point
Romans did the same with carthidginians
It helps get people to fight to "evil ones"
You can apply the same logic to social media as well.
*Great that I usually forget about movies plots after watching the movie*
I read an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer that Leo Beebe was actually a very nice guy and great businessman as opposed to the backstabbing character portrayed in Ford vs Ferrari. He did orchestrate the three way finish but he had no idea of the arcane rules of the race. Why would he if Shelby didn't?
You should do a list of movies over selling real life people. For example goodfellas saying Henry Hill was a big time mobster, who really was just a druggie who ratted on his gang.
Blind-side how they praised the mother.
American sniper, basically describing him as a bullseye.
Was curious about any modern relatives to Sir William Withey Gull....feel about him being named as JACK THE RIPPER in both the TV MOVIE JACK THE RIPPER (1988) and FROM HELL (2001)
How many ppl actually think about the real life ppl once the movie is over.
The Social Network was tough to watch.
100% agree with the poor treatment of Max Baer and William Murdoch. I would also add in the awful portrayal of Charles Lightoller in Titanic - he was made out to be a weak leader, condescending and pompous. It may be an older, lesser known film but 'A Night To Remember' is far more accurate in its depiction of the officers.
Ray Kroc from the founder could easily be added to this list. The dude was a menace in his portrayal.
With 300 they definitely did have some WWE worthy lines that are documented in history.
Don't think very possible Alien Mark Zuckerberg needed The Social Network movie to ruin his reputation.
The movie was too kind to him
I find it funny that 300 is on this list as it was a originally a graphic novel brought to life through cinema.
