Hollywood Films

I believe that most films get the historical facts wrong. They do not want to sell us facts, but fantastical and exaggerated events based off some sort of truthful event. As a Greek who really knows what happened in Sparta, the movie "300" makes me laugh at how inaccurate it is. Of course it only makes it more marketable but the sad part is the fact there are some people out there who actually believe it. Considering the power of documentaries, Hollywood films lack truthful and educational information. That being said, I do not want to completely bash Hollywood as they do teach us some important things, but overall they skew the events so we can be more interested.
