A Very English Scandal (2018)
Filled with inaccuracies.
Sure, lots the film is accurate. But the movie is clearly biased in favor of the mentally ill Norman Scott.
"For example, the series omits this very significant detail:
He began to feel marginalised by Thorpe, and in December 1962, in a fit of depression, confided to a friend his intention to shoot the MP and commit suicide. The friend alerted the police, to whom Josiffe gave a detailed statement of his sexual relations with Thorpe, and produced letters to support his story. None of this evidence impressed the police sufficiently for them to take action, although a report on the matter was added to Thorpe's MI5 file."
So, Scott had threatened to shoot the MP...why is this omitted!
The Polka King (2017)
Why Does Hollywood Love To Portray Bad People In A Positive Light?
Hollywood has an obsession...a desire to turn all thing good into something bad, and all things bad into something good. I mean really, this movie portrays a swindler in a positive light...clearly trying to get the audience to sympathize with Lewan's plight, as if he was the victim. Lewan ruined the lives of many people who lost everything...many of these people were old and had no means of recovering from the loss! Jack Black seems to love these roles...he painted the murderer of an old women in the same positive light in the movie Bernie.
Hollywood loves to make murderers, thieves and thugs into great people...while lying about other groups and making them all out as evil incarnate, like they do with Christians, southerners, or the white male. Sad.
