  1. A nice altruistic gesture on your part Drinker. I don't know if it's a coincidence but You Tube didn't fill this one full of adds. Anyway, your heart is in the right place so good on ya. I've never seen this but maybe I'll check it out. I love history and I used to keep my eye out for accuracy but I decided to separate the two a few years ago and I'm better off for it. There is history, then there is a movie about history and if a director takes some license I'm okay with it. Unless it's Ron Howard tarnishing the legacies of guys who have died just because in his formulaic way of making movies a plot calls for tension, or incompetence, or an antagonist, or whatever. He did it with Apollo 13 and Cinderella Man but I guess that is a gripe for another time. I just hate squirmy guys who trash a man when he's dead. At least have the balls to defame a guy while he's alive like Moneyball did with Art Howe. He was able to tell his side. Same with Johnny Cash's first wife after Walk the Line came out. Anyway, enough of that. Good review as always.
