Red Tails (2012)
Red Tails follows the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American fighter squadron in the United States military. The servicemen served during the Second World War. The movie also had the opportunity to show us an accurate representation of a squadron that does not get the recognition that it deserves. Sadly, the filmmakers white-washed the film and gave it a rather patronizing tone. The filmmakers actually invented the exploits, but they were shown in a manner that made it look like true exploits. Another criticism it received was that the unit commander of the Red Tails is given a desk job, while he actually led quite a lot of bombing raids.

Braveheart (1995)
In case you did not know, Braveheart is not accurate. Among other things, the timeline was all wrong and the kilts were not in use until later on. A historian also noted that the Battle of Stirling Bridge did not actually happen on a bridge either. There are many people who will defend this film to death, and it has even been dubbed one of the greatest movies in history. We are not disputing this, but the fact of the matter is that historians have called it out for inaccuracies. This might be the case, but director and lead actor Mel Gibson stands by his choice to make the story “cinematically compelling.”
