HUH? Producers have a responsibility to label their movies fictional?
Better apply that to 99% of all the movies ever made.
The idea is preposterous.
Agreed, it's silly to say a movie should be labeled as fiction. Even the movies that are supposed to be biographies are largely fiction, right?
Here's a blurb off Dan Brown's site that I thought was interesting --
HOW MUCH OF THIS NOVEL IS TRUE?
The Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, the Gnostic Gospels, Hieros Gamos, etc.). These real elements are interpreted and debated by fictional characters. While it is my belief that some of the theories discussed by these characters may have merit, each individual reader must explore these characters' viewpoints and come to his or her own interpretations. My hope in writing this novel was that the story would serve as a catalyst and a springboard for people to discuss the important topics of faith, religion, and history.
