Popular movies based on a true story that made MAJOR changes or omissions to the facts and examples of the changes. 1. The Sound of Music- 2. Tombstone 3. Night and Day 4. Funny Girl 5. JFK 6. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil 7. Lincoln 8. Man For All Seasons 9. Straight Outta Compton 10. The King’s Speech The Duke of York began work with Logan 10 years before the abdication crisis, and the improvement in speech became apparent in a few months, rather than the years the movie suggests. Logan is unlikely to have sworn in front of the king, and is not known to have ever called him “Bertie”. ---

Roots Though the work on which the miniseries was based was presented as a novel and though he freely admitted dialogue and particular situations were fictional, Haley claimed that he HAD discovered the home village of his ancestor Kunta Kinte and heard a tale from a griot that coincided with his family tradition that his ancestor was captured while finding wood for a drum. Since his death his claims have been largely discredited including by his friend Henry Louis Gates. ---
