My uncle was a British prisoner in Burma who worked on the bridge. He confirmed to us that they did sabotage it, and, when he was released at the end of the war, instead of going back to England, they were sent to Western Canada and put on trains back to Eastern Canada, so that they could gain weight, as they did not want the relatives to see them in such poor condition. They looked like prisoners from the German Death Camps that were liberated.

I visited the bridge over the Kwai river in 1991. There was a museum dedicated to the POWs and civilians who died there. A sobering and horrific place. I then watched the movie when I returned to the US, and was utterly disgusted. The movie implies that a stiff upper lip would keep the POWs safe, and that they spent their days swimming and romping in the river. Cholera, beatings, and starvation are ignored. That movie dishonored every person who suffered or died building the Burmese railroad.

[@bcaza27]

@@Zaft_K My uncle hated that movie for that reason. When I went to Hollywood and was touring the studio, they had pictures of Best Picture and asked if anyone could name any. I pointed to that one and said what the movie was. The guide told me I was correct, which I replied, "Biggest Piece of Bullshit In Movie History!" The guide then said, "Moving Along...."

[@idalaursen8935]

Not to excuse the movies exclusion of the horrors which the POW’s were exposed to but back in 1957 the constitution of audiences was considered much more frail than today. Therefore they often omitted or lessened the horrors of the real life events on which films were based.

To be fair Chris McCandless’s sister has been giving talks to schools that read Into the Wild for years, and she is very careful to explain why her brother should not be viewed as a hero or martyr and that no one should attempt to copy his behavior in Alaska. She also points out how he was just two miles away from help when he died on the bus. She also describes in detail how she has suffered severe depression since the loss of her older brother. Sean Penn twisted the story in the film, and it’s tragic as the reality of the story is about loss and a kid who didn’t realize how his sister would miss him for the rest of her life.

Captain Von Trapp was criticized by his fellow naval officers for being too nice, too easygoing, with his subordinates. Though they apparently loved him for it, and were willing to do anything for him. And the Von Trapps did not escape from Austria by hiking into the mountains, they actually took a train to Italy, where they boarded a passenger ship to Britain. As many people have observed, had the family actually gone into the mountains near where they lived, they would have come down in Germany, not Switzerland, and they would have been not too terribly far from Adolf Hitler's personal headquarters Berchtesgaden, where they would have been quickly found and arrested.

[@hotXV]

The youngest daughter did not escape. She died crossing the mountain.

The Von Trapp's house in Austria may have been used badly after they left, but they made it all the way to Vermont where they bought a farm and made a wonderful home (which has now become the Von Trapp hotel and ski lodge just outside Stowe (a gorgeous place I've visited many times)).

Agreed. McCandless was a mentally and emotionally imbalanced man who was raised in well-off white privilege, who likely committed several petty thefts and break-ins to finance his supposedly "great journey". He knew nothing aboit hunting, camping, survival in rough terrain and conditions, yet he rejected the seasoned advice of at least one Alaskan who suspected that McCandless was so poorly supplied and inexperienced that he was under the shadow of an imminent tragedy - all as the result of McCandless' own egotism.

"The Iron Claw": The movie left out an entire brother. The Von Erich family had 6 boys, not 5.

I was so disappointed in Iron Claw. As a non-fan of biopics I saw the trailers and, knowing their story, I though this might be the one that gives it to us straight because it's one of those "you just can't make this shit up" things.

A Beautiful Mind didn't just leave out a "real horrific ending"; it was largely fiction, and not just for dramatic effect like turning his schizophrenic delusions into an "imaginary friend." It is told as a love story in which the couple overcomes his illness. The reality included Nash fathering a child that he largely denied, then years later having a child with his wife Alicia... whom he gave the same name as his first child! (Sadly, the 2nd child inherited his father's schizophrenia.) The film makes the marriage seem like they were made for one another, but they were only married from 1957 to 1963. He eventually lived as a boarder in Alicia's home, but they didn't resume their relationship until sometime in the '90s. They remarried in 2001, not that the film even hints at this, never mind all the evidence of his homosexual activities that cost him his security clearance. Also, there is no "acceptance speech" at the Nobel Prize ceremony. The winners present a lecture to the attendees. Incidentally, John Nash had been divorced from Alicia for decades when he was awarded the prize. They didn't remarry until 7 years after that!

The ones like Schindler's List and Sound of Music don't really belong here because the movies ended long before the rest of the history mentioned. After the Trapp family left Austria (they took the train), that really was the end of that history. After that, it was the house's history and, while horrid, was not about the family. Schindler...I'm trying to remember, I toured the factory, I don't recall that he was ever a successful businessman. He had the gift of BS and that's what worked. Anyway, again, the movie ended before his escape and his ending wasn't "terrible", he just went back to selling chickens like he'd done as a kid.

I wonder if my history teacher got the "this is not a democracy" line from _Remember the Titans?_ 🤔 Cool Story Bro™ warning: I graduated from a small Christian school in 2003, and we had our history teacher for three different years between grades 7-12 so we all had a really great relationship with her. In that time there were a few infamous instances where we had started bitching about something she said we had to do for class, and to shut us up she slammed her hands down on her podium at the front of the room and dramatically bellowed, _"THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY!! This is a DICTATORSHIP, and you are the PEASANTS!!!"_ Especially fitting since some of the classes she taught were US History and Government/Economics. lol By the time we were seniors, it had become a Thing that whenever we were happy about something she said, we'd say, _"And the peasants rejoiced!!"_ It was such a prominent Thing for our class year that at the end of the year I made a foam core sign with _"And the peasants rejoiced!"_ in old English script, and the entire senior class signed the back of it. We gave it to her on the last day of class, and she just about cried. She could also sing, and at graduation that year when she took the mic to sing for the ceremony she tearfully looked at all of us and said, "I'm really going to miss you guys."🥺 The last time I saw her in person before she retired and moved out of state was when I came back to the school about 8 years after graduating to visit with some of my favorite teachers and when I went into her room, she _still_ had that sign hanging behind her desk and she told me that we had been one of her favorite class years that she had ever had in her entire 40+ year career. 🥹 It's funny how a single quote like that can bring back so much. Sorry if that was boring, but to be fair I DID warn you.

The second Pocahontas movie showed a little more of the story, about meeting John Rolf and going to England and appearing as a ‘ spectacle’ but that’s about the only realism.

[@CobaltTungsten]

As I myself am American Indian, this is the insight I can provide into the true life story of Pocahontas- First off, when John Smith originally came to the Americas he was already on thin ice with the English governing body. He was a savage man who basically got himself near-exiled to the Americas because they didn't know what to do with him otherwise. So, what does he do shortly after landing? Causes more chaos. Second, Pocahontas was 12 when John Smith raped her repeatedly over 4 days of which he had kidnapped her from a field because he was attempting to "Show the savages" who was in charge. Pocahontas' father was so enraged by this he gathered the people he had and went looking for John Smith to give him some old-fashion justice. Third, so sick of John Smith were the settlers AND the government that they refused to do anything for him and basically held up neon signs of where the tribe could find John. So, John, upon finding he had no allies anywhere, kidnapped Pocahontas and brought her to the fort where the main governing body of the English in the area lived, and basically lied to get inside saying Pocahontas was his wife. Fourth, it wasn't a year, it was two. One year he lied and basically forced her father to prove she was his daughter, then tried lying to make everyone continue to believe this (Now) 13 year old girl was his Wife, but since the original settlers were hardcore quaker-types, they would not have allowed John Smith to marry Pocahontas without her first being baptized, of which they would have had a record of sorts. When none was found, he was called out on his BS, but by this point Pocahontas' father was so irate he was about to burn down the whole fort and the surrounding settlements if they refused to give her back. Then came a year long negotiation, where the English governing body agreed to exile John Smith permanently in all forms from the Americas under penalty of death by being drawn and quartered, and they would leave the surrounding settlements alone. The bargain was struck and (surprisingly) kept by both sides. John Smith never again came back to the Americas. Fifth, Pocahontas was NOT willingly married to her husband, and it didn't happen in the Americas. Again, the settlers who were in the Americas viewed my people as Filthy, Dirty, Sinful creatures, and would not have allowed her marriage without a baptism. It was a sort of trade-off. The English said they wanted to have some of our people in their home territory, to see us up close, so that we could better integrate with one another. She was then disallowed to return home, used as propaganda (As said in the video), and then to avoid her stalker (Literally John F-ing Smith) who was sending her love letters and basically terrorizing her, she married an Englishman to keep herself safe. He was a tobacco farmer, but he was an Enterpriser, he didn't live on the land, he just built the farm and sold the tobacco. Sixth, her death was likely stress-related as she suffered from consistent fainting spells after her time with John Smith when confronted with extremely harrowing situations. A theory my people have had is she died of acute heart failure due to severe anxiety disorders. Likely, though, is she died of some disease that the English had that my people didn't, and it presented harsher and deadlier since she had no defense for it and passed away. As well, it is odd that she and John Smith both died of unknown illnesses. If you want my theory, they both died of HPV or HPV complications. It makes the most sense to me since women develop cancer from HPV easier than men do, and it can take YEARS for cancer to kill you (If you're "Unlucky"), plus it can take upwards of 2 years for a woman's body to completely clear the HPV virus from their body, so there's also increased time factor from that. Seventh, and lastly, Pocahontas did NOT SAVE JOHN SMITH at any point in time. She literally saved the other settlers by reminding her father that our people do not blame a whole clan for one mans' wrongdoing, and didn't want to see everyone else be slaughtered just to kill the one person who deserved it. Her father not only humored her, but commended her on her foresight and merciful nature, especially after what she'd endured. So, no, Pocahontas didn't save him. She basically said: "Hey, just kill him, not everyone. They didn't kidnap me, they didn't rape me or hold me hostage, he did." To which her father agreed, and so did the Englishmen in the fort, and when John Smith begged for his life the aforementioned bargain was struck. As a child I loved the Disney movie Pocahontas, and it was pushed by my maternal grandparents (Who're Very white and were racist beyond belief for the first 20 years of my life) for me to watch and internalize. Having grown up, that movie is seared into my brain as the most disgusting whitewash I personally know of. Lastly, the best way I know to honor her truly is with these: Her name was not Pocahontas, and certainly not Rebecca. Her name IS Amonute Matoaka. Okwáho ukwehu·wé niwakiˀtaló·tɅ sa·unheˀuwe at·kahwa·tsíleˀ. I am Oneida Wolf Clan, you live forever in family. (Yes, my syntax is not the best, but out language is hard.)

If you do not have the skills before you go into the wild, you are more likely to die than to learn them in time to save yourself. I have been winter camping every year since I was a child.

The Von Trapp family being captured and sent to a concentration camp while their father was shot for dereliction of duty would have been horrific. The monestary burned to the ground or repurposed as a brothel would have been horrific. Many of these endings are unfortunate or totally unrelated to the lesson the story was trying to share.

Likewise, the Burma Railway atrocities were so well known (less so that most of the victims were Asian), especially nearer the events back in 1957, that they didn't have to be touched upon. You can't count ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, which depicted an alternative history where the famous murders didn't happen, otherwise your biggest candidate for inclusion would be INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, where millions more deaths were required in the real world to bring down Hitler. The 'unhappy' bits you describe in SCHINDLER'S LIST were very small potatoes compared to what went on in the period covered by the movie; some have claimed that it's too cheerful a movie because fifteen million people didn't survive the Holocaust.

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood glosses over the fact that that the Manson murder cult actually had no intention of targeting Sharon Tate (and her hairdresser and ex-boyfriend Jay Sebring). Manson himself used to be a Los Angeles drug dealer, and Dennis Wilson used to be one of his customers. Wilson would invite Manson to come watch his band, the Beach Boys, as they were recording an album, and Manson kept pestering their producer Terry Melcher (son of Doris Day) to listen to some country-western songs he'd written, because he had dreams of becoming the next Hank Williams. Melcher fobbed him off repeatedly, and said he'd get in touch with Manson "sometime soon" to listen to his songs after he finished the Beach Boys album. Time passed, and when "sometime soon" never happened, a furious Manson sent his collection of idiots and losers around to murder him. But by then Melcher was spending time in Europe, and had sublet his Los Angeles house to Roman Polanski and his wife Sharon Tate. Roman was away in London at the time, and Tate and Sebring just had some very bad luck.

To be fair, wasn't "Anastasia" made when there was still doubt/questions about her survival? They began development in 1994, and it was later that same year that DNA tests were conducted in on a tissue sample from Anna Anderson that was located in a hospital (she had been cremated when she died in 1984) and the blood of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, a great-nephew of Empress Alexandra. Anderson first surfaced publicly between 1920 and 1922 and she claimed that she had feigned death among the bodies of her family and servants, and was able to make her escape with the help of a compassionate guard who noticed she was still breathing and took sympathy on her. This matched up with some biographers' accounts that speculated that the opportunity for one or more of the guards to rescue a survivor existed. (There was reportedly a span of time when the bodies of the victims were left largely unattended in the truck, in the basement and in the corridor of the house. Some guards who had not participated in the murders and had been sympathetic to the grand duchesses were reportedly left in the basement with the bodies.) Anderson's legal battle for recognition from 1938 to 1970 continued a lifelong controversy and was the longest running case ever heard by the German courts, where it was officially filed. The final decision of the court was that Anderson had not provided sufficient proof to claim the identity of the grand duchess. The 1994 DNA test was not without controversy as well. According to Dr Gill who conducted the tests, *"If you accept that these samples came from Anna Anderson,* then Anna Anderson could not be related to Tsar Nicholas or Tsarina Alexandra." While some supporters of Anderson's claim acknowledged that the DNA tests proving she could not have been the Grand Duchess had "won the day," others questioned why this tissue sample was in the hospital 10 years after her death. And even if Anderson wasn't the real Anastasia, the family's grave was opened in 1991 (before the DNA test) and they determined the 2 bodies were missing; there should have been 11, but they only found 9, with supposedly the 2 youngest children missing. The account of the "Yurovsky Note" indicated that two of the bodies were removed from the main grave and cremated at an undisclosed area in order to further disguise the burials of the Tsar and his retinue, but searches of the area in subsequent years failed to turn up a cremation site or the remains of the two missing Romanov children. It wasn't until 23 August 2007 that a Russian archaeologist announced the discovery of two burned, partial skeletons at a bonfire site near Yekaterinburg that appeared to match the site described in Yurovsky's memoirs. The archaeologists said the bones were from a boy who was roughly between the ages of twelve and fifteen years at the time of his death and of a young woman who was roughly between the ages of fifteen and nineteen years old. (Anastasia was seventeen years and one month old at the time of the assassination, while her brother Alexei was two weeks shy of his fourteenth birthday.) DNA testing by multiple international laboratories confirmed the remains belonged to Alexei and to one of his sisters, proving conclusively that all family members, including Anastasia, died in 1918. The parents and all five children are now accounted for, and each has his or her own unique DNA profile. So really, at the time the movie was made, there was still this popular and highly romanticized idea that MAYBE she had survived, though she definitely wasn't a little girl on the night the family was murdered. But honestly, are we expecting reality from an animated film with a talking bat and undead evil wizard?

[@rustyhowe3907]

Yes! Us in the West didn't know all the details but the Russians knew from the start though bungled up both remains and official papers in between the execution and the end of the Soviet Union, after that the remains of Anastasia were recovered from within storage (though I heard about the charred remains being found as well, not sure which is true) and officially the 'mystery' was solved.
