“Hollywood writers are the same. There is a moved “based on”—which almost always means “some of the names are right, all other details are changed”—the book about to appear.”
Hollywood did the same with “Murder in the First,” supposedly based on a true story about an Alcatraz prisoner. The movie depiction of events is almost wholly ficticious.
Went to see “Pulic Enemies” last night. I liked this film. I am not a Depp fan. Never seen any of the “Pirates” movies. Avoid him like the plague, but the Dillinger story got me to the theater.
Liked Christian Bale’s performance. The guy is intense. But the one who stole the show was the actress who played Dillinger’s girlfriend Billie Frechette.
I recommend this movie. Parts of it were filmed 30 miles north of my farm, in Columbus WI. Naturally the crowd in the theater noticed when the scenes shot in Columbus were on screen. There were 2 vintage cars parked at the theater entrance and a local news crew was there. Hey, it’s Wisconsin, when a movie gets shot here it causes a stir. Anywho, this conservative woman liked this movie and I think most FR readers will appreciate the movie too.
