Some slave states basically had laws where if a black person was in state for a certain length of time, free or not, they could be considered slaves and captured and sold.

The Disney movie Pocahontas took a lot of liberties. There was no romance between John Smith and Pocahontas as portrayed in the movie. She was a child when the English settled in Jamestown, VA. She also married a different English settler named John Rolfe.

[@TheGavrael]

It was 'based on a true story', but actually 'based on the journals of John Smith'. But actually, 'based on the second journals of John Smith', because what he journaled showed two different accounts of what happened and seem to be written after the fact. Smith has very little to do with Pocahontas in reality. They might have seen each other once.

Totally correct, but I always find it interesting that few people note that the natives gave/exchanged her to John Smith. Not a particularly nice time in history for any involved.

@@masilomoshesh1475 I have to say that families should not be "offended" by the retelling of such a famous and well-known piece of history; as dark, tragic and macabre as it may be. Maybe a bit hurt everytime they see it retold, but not offended. And honestly I don't think the family would watch this movie either way, no matter what the ending had been. I understand what you're saying, and it sounds like a sweet enough sentiment, but I respectfully disagree with it. No matter how "sweet" or "inoffensive" we wish to be, it simply doesn't alter history's twisted facts. If it were a loved one of mine that had been so brutally murdered, I would prefer the truth to be told. The truth, with a focus on how completely innocent and adored my loved one was; how utterly unfair what happened was, showing just how many people it actually affected, for the victims go far beyond "just" the ones murdered that night. The truth, with a focus on how evil & twisted the perpetrators were; never giving in to any sort of "understanding" of their perspective, showing only their guilt & vileness. Their selfishness & greed. But that's just me and my opinion. We all see things differently. Maybe you are right and I'm wrong. It really doesn't matter who's "right" or "wrong" though. Maybe we're both a bit right and a bit wrong. Either way, I just thought I'd share another perspective on the matter.

I thought that Remember The Titans did a good job bringing up just how tough Coach Boone was on these young he coached. You saw the way he was verbally abusive to the starting running back to the point of the young man was ready to quit until the assistant coach told hom he could play on the defense. You also saw how he was when players asked for a water break and he would make them work even harder. And the sense I felt that really hit home with how tough Boone was, was the up down scene. Where in blistering heat these players were working out in drills so long that his own assistant walked up and said, "there's a difference between being tough and crazy. And you're flirting with it right now" Boone called a hault to the drill and many players broke down and started to vomit or pass out.

"Boys Don't Cry", the 1999 movie about Brandon Teena. Starring Hillary Swank as the transgender Brandon, the movie leaves out a huge amount of facts about Teena's death. Brandon and Candace Lambert were both killed by Tom Nissen and John Lotter, but for some reason the movie leaves out the murder of Phillip DeVine, who was also visiting Candace and Teena that day. The movie also shows Candace's baby crawling out of the house on it's own, but in reality they took the baby out and left it in a cornfield to starve to death. And, lastly, the movie shows Lana Tisdel trying desperately to protect Brandon from being killed, but the sad reality is that the police suspected that Lana and her mother, Linda, set up Brandon to be murdered. I have no idea why the movie changed some really important facts about the case.

The Oscars are a popularity contest. There are some absolutely incredible actors that have never won. Example: Johnny Depp transforms into practically a new person every movie but he's constantly overlooked. I respect George C. Scott (won Best Actor in 1971) for standing his ground on the Oscars. He told them twice he wouldn't accept it and told them not to even put his name on the ballot (called the whole thing a "two hour meat parade"). He won and, when someone accepted for him, returned it the next day. Personally, I think the only reason he won is bc their legitimacy was being called into question that year so who better to give the win to than a man that hates it? No way they can be rigged then, right? Now, I just accept that the winners will be whomever campaigned the most

One of them didn't sink. Was in a nasty collision maybe? But didn't go down. I believe it was the Olympic.

@@cherylbo889 short answer? To try to reduce stigma associated with mental health issues. Long answer? Try is the operative word and while most people will suffer some stress after a traumatic event so, yeah, it is a “normal” reaction in that sense - clinical diagnosis means that the stress reaction is either of an intensity or duration that it interferes in major life function and is “disordered.” Not that PTSS - Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is all that different. Syndrome vs Disorder is a matter of semantics. The understanding of PTSD and how it is classified and treated have changed dramatically over the last 40+ years. We now know that it’s far more common and that the types of trauma that can cause it are more varied than once thought. This is a good thing - more understanding, better treatment options, more folks getting help, etc. Lots of folks with what we know as PTSD today would have been diagnosed as having “shell shock” or “hysteria” or be labeled as morally or mentally deficient in the past. All of which are problematic since they have heaping piles of judgements and stigma attached. Some language changes are aimed at trying to overcome that prejudice. Others reflect better understanding. Some do, or at least attempt, both.

I explain it as an huge alarm that goes off at times when it's not necessary (anymore). Ofcourse we all have different experiences. But I do believe our brains are wired a certain way. Especially when it comes to PTSD. I have had PTSD for a long time and have been PTSD-free for a year now. It has been a huge battle (understatement) but it was worth it. I will never be the same as someone who never experienced it. But I'm not suffering anymore. And that is so important for your quality of life. I wish you guys peace.

Gladiator was a remake of the 1964 movie Fall of the Roman Empire. They cover the same period of time where the last of the good emperors Marcus Aurelius dies and is followed as Emperor by his son the horrible gladiator emperor Commodus. In Gladiator Maximus the former general kills Commodus in the arena and though he dies, Commodus's sister then starts a rule in Rome that involves the senators and is supposed be like the ancient Roman Republic. Commodus actually was emperor for 15 years. He killed his sister in the first couple years of his reign. He was killed in his bed/assassinated by a wrestler. The Praetorian than auctioned off the emperorship. A senator Pertinax was the highest bidder but died within the year. The next year was the infamous year of the five emperors where five different men were emperor for a part of the year as they pulled the Empire apart. There was never a return to the republic or the democracy suggested at the end of the movie. The Emperor Septimus Severus fully restored the Empire a year after the death of Commodus. The point of the original movie was that this was the last bright moment of the empire under Aurelius. The movie Gladiator gave you some sort of roman democracy fantasy ending

Hollywood prefers happy endings. Besides, most “based on a true story” movies will include only a small part of the story. If they included everything, each movie would be 10 hours long.

[@brokenfoxx]

Movies are just long snapshots

[@tammylynnbeatricedoyle4500]

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was absolutely amazing 💯

[@cahones01]

Remember the Titans left out/changed many details. The school integrated years before Boone became the head coach, the town was supportive of the team, Gerry Bertier wasn’t in the car crash until after the season, and they won the championship in a blowout not a come from behind win.

In regards to a beautiful mind you neglected to mention that Nash had an illegitimate child with a woman he considered to be lower class because she didn’t have as high level an education as his so he refused to accept the child was his. And not to mention Alicia was a 19 year old college freshman when they met while nash was a middle aged college professor. Yea, dating and impregnating his own students. Real stand out guy right there!

[@datsapaddlin]

Ain’t no such things as a real happy ending. We all are toast at the end of the day but enjoy the happy moments when ya can.

Dark but true I guess.

Physically we all die, yes. But what happens after is up to us.

watching 12 years a slave for a class was such a heartbreaking experience. i read the book first and had to take breaks to finish it.

[@Bostongirl4eva]

Great job! However, the 1997 ‘true’ movie Buddy had a horrible real ending. Would love u2 do a video about that. Poor Buddy in the movie ended up at a peaceful sanctuary, but in real life the gorilla was sold to a circus. Thanks for all your channel does!

The band on the Titanic may have died but at least they didn't die in vain and now they're spending all eternity playing music for the afterlife.

[@lexkanyima2195]

It was very complex about how they will survive

[@duncancurtis1758]

Or the rumours that Thomas Andrews was seen in a lifeboat.

[@danasaeed9018]

Really Interesting Topic.

[@pierre-lucbrizard1327]

I always tought the ending to Once upon a time meant the Mansons would come back to finish the job. The way Tate calls Rick on the speakor phone is kind of creepy. Cliff won't be there to defend them.and they even go out their way to mention the dog is out of the equation and they litteraly leave the door open.

[@kevinc1001]

I’ve heard about the Accuse movie growing up in New Bedford MA which is something that doesn’t often happen here.

[@AA-qb7ni]

I love how Tarantino honoured Sharon with that ending.
