We need movies like this that tell inspiring stories, often at the expense of the truth. And we need articles like yours, to correct those stories and tell us the truth. Storytellers are not in the same business as historians, and shouldn’t be held to the same standards. That means no one should make the default assumption that what they see in a movie is true. it also means that every time historical movie is made, it needs to be supplemented by articles like this one that tell how the story changed the history. Thanks to Viola Davis, I’m gonna get a great story with cool battle scenes. Thanks to writers like you, I now know some important historical facts I didn’t know before. You have a great symbiotic relationship. Boycotting the movie jeopardizes that relationship, and everyone, especially the audience and the readers, loses.
