Proposition: Hollywood produces great movies, but they don't always tell the truth even it is based on 'true stories'.

            I totally disagree with the statement because even in Malaysian movies, the directors and producers exaggerate in their based on true stories movies. This happened when people only care for the money and the fame instead of telling others the truth. I also learnt that Hollywood movies are the same with the Malaysian movies, too.

            First, the right movie is based on the history facts. For example like in "The Proposition" movie, starring by Ray Winstone as Captain Stanley and Guy Pearce as Charlie Burns. The stories start at rural Australia in the late nineteenth century: Capt. Stanley and his men capture two of the four Burns brothers, Charlie and Mike. Their gang is held responsible for attacking the Hopkins farm, raping pregnant Mrs. Hopkins and murdering the whole family. Arthur Burns, the eldest brother and the gang's mastermind, remains on the loose and has retreated to a mountain hideout. Capt. Stanley's proposition to Charlie is to gain pardon and - more importantly - save his beloved younger brother Mike from the gallows by finding and killing Arthur within nine days. This story has been label as violence and this Australian western is the one of the best example of the western outlaw at Australia.

            Next, the movies have the correct data and event. For example like in "Company Of Heroes" movie, staring by Alastair Mackenzie as Chambliss the new sniper. The stories start with During the last major German offensive of World War II, a company of American soldiers is lost behind enemy lines during the Battle of the Bulge and they make a horrific discovery - Hitler has a super bomb in development. The soldiers soon learn about a secret allied mission to retrieve a defecting German scientist in charge of a Hitler's weapons program. Faced with impossible odds, the company and an escaping POW go on a daring raid into the heart of Nazi Germany in pursuit of the scientist. From the stories, we can see the correct of battle of Bulge and the Nazi's secret weapon.

            Therefore, I disagree with the statement based on the movie I movie I watch. Thus, the statement is half-claim and lack of evident to proof the statements.
