Video: Movies and the Historic Events They Depict Seen Side by Side

When I'm watching a movie that's based on a true story or historic event, I'm largely concerned with whether it manages to accurately capture the essence of that event. But often, filmmakers go the extra mile to recreate moments as closely as they possibly can to the real event, and unless you're an expert in that particular event, you wouldn't even notice how close Hollywood can get to the truth. You'll see what I mean in this video from editor Vugar Efendi (via /Film), which places Hollywood versions and footage from real events side by side for easy comparison.

Moments in history, whether bigger or more intimate, are often recreated in film. This produces something that is transcending, powerful and nevertheless, haunting. Music: Mica Levi - Vanity For educational purposes only.
