Here is a movie that really annoyed me. The 1984 miniseries on George Washington. At times it wasn't too bad, but why did they have to fictionalize to such an extent young Washington's venture into the Ohio Valley. The reality was an incredible story dramatic story. Why did they have to make up a frontier guide Caleb Quinn (played by Lloyd Bridges) then Washington's real life guide Christopher Gist. Gist's life in itself would be a magnificent story to tell in itself. Another example where Hollyweird thinks that their drama is better then the drama of what happened.

“Man in the Iron Mask.” Sorry. I just don’t buy Leonardo DeCrapio as King Louis XIV. Absolutely no physical resemblance plus DeCrapio was way too modern American.
