In contemporary society, numerous movies based on real historical incidents and stories are enhanced. Some people believe that they must be unquestionably accurate, while others argue that creative liberties are acceptable. From my perspective, films that portray true stories or historical events should adhere closely to the truth.
First and foremost, misconceptions can arise in films about historical events or stories if they don’t stick with complete accuracy. For example, people who don’t have any knowledge can obtain information from these films, and if they are inaccurate, these people will acquire history or these events in an inadequate way. Additionally, some of the websites can base their content on these films as references. If these films’ story is imperfectly valid, it will make these sorts of websites misguide, leading into information pollution.
Conversely, films utterly loyal to history and stories can play paramount roles in comprehending history more comprehensively and more profoundly, especially for students. To illustrate, in the past, these films weren’t widespread, and most of the pupils didn’t pass their history exam, while now, with the ubiquity of historically accurate films, students now achieve higher scores through visual learning. Furthermore, these films are more appealing as they are based on reality, and according to research supervised by Harvard University, 78% of people on the earth are more influenced by movies based on real incidents.
In conclusion, if we intend to make movies based on real events, we must look into this event thoughtfully. Otherwise, we will deal with lots of misconceptions and information pollution that mislead people about history, and they will be inconceivable to rectify.
