I don’t know… I just enjoyed it as fiction. The problem with movies based on real events or on real people is that at, the end of the day, they are just fiction, and I guess they are inevitably going to disappoint some of those who know more about the real-life events or people they are based on. On the other hand, I can also see the value of getting the facts right and characters that respect the spirit of the real people they are based on. I don’t have a strong opinion on the matter as you can see.
Ah I see now what you mean. I guess I agree. With this movie specifically I had some moments that were close to the "uncanny valley", as the actor playing Wallace was so closely imitating media versions of Wallace (from TV interviews) that it sometimes got almost to this person, but never exactly, which feels weirdly off. I also had the feeling that he was not portraying the real person, but rather the anxious persona he showed in those interviews.
