What dramatic movies have been historically accurate?

[Bluenorthwest]

90. All narrative or dramatic films should not be seen as history but as a story someone told you about

history. Cinema has forms intended to accurately convey information in a direct way, such as documentary and cinema verite, but a dramatized, narrative film is always a story being told and not a reporting of facts. Always.
The story will be curated, edited, crafted for emphasis, dynamics, emotional impact. The story is told with a point of view, with a beginning, middle and end, the story is designed to show character as well as facts, motives as well as actions, historically unimportant features of a historical figure become more important when that figure is being depicted by a living actor.
Narrative films are always stories being told by a storyteller or two. Expecting them to be or treating them as if they are something else is not all that 'accurate' nor helpful to discussions about films.
I see reviews of 'Selma' and 'American Sniper' that cheese me off because they are not reviewing the films but the facts, not reporting on cinema but on real events in relation to the cinema, and because they are really talking not about the films, but about the films they saw but about the films they wish were made instead. That's really not criticism of the films, it's a pitch for a different film.
Don't confuse a story being told with historical testimony.
