unfortunately they do imply that it was factual by saying based on factual events and then at the ending of it stating certain facts found in the historical record. so they im[ly that they are being historically accurate.
i understand the facination of it all from your little guys point of view, but the unfortunate side is that he will learn the history from a false perspective and that is a sad out come for him.
didnt the real men of the redtails squardon earn the honors of having thier history told with truth and integrity? would a touch of reality have made the explosions any less than what they showed or made the story line boring? those men lived and died and in a valiant manner, if we allow the hollywooders to tell the story in a less than truthful manner, when it is very possible for them to do so, then isnt that insulting those real men and the truth of their story?
if it was a fake squad and a fake enviroment that was potrayed with fake events and it was a complete piece of historical fiction then that is one thing, (as most of the old war flicks) but this movie uses real events, people, places and squads to tell a complete fabrication.....it just bothers me thats all.
