  1. Sometimes,a movie can be trusted but sometimes not.Not every movie represent true history.Well,like movie 300,this story does not only consist of 300 people but there are actually more.The costume worn by them was also not real.Besides,Frank Miler,the movie director of movie 300 even says that the real spartans were actually more cruel than the one in the movie.The stone carvings were actually the prove that the one in the movie is not real.Some movie can be trusted because maybe the one who creates the movie or so called directors watch and witnessed the event.

  2. We cannot trust some movies!

    Not every movie represent true history. The directors want to earn more money so they edited the history to make it interesting. Some of the history are boring and the director know that. They also need to edit it as the infomation is sometimes to much to add in so it edit and shortcut it. The sound and grhic is important. Mostly history shows the graphic is black and white and the sound is usually bored.

  3. i think not all movies tells the viewers the truth .They use grapics or other new scenes to capture people's heart to force them to watch the movie and to earn lots of money.The directors know that the actually history itself is very boring and hence they produce such movie to make people thet it is true.

  4. Not al the time. Well for example 300.The battle is true but there are snags in the movie.Well to most people, history is a real drag and waste of time (not me) so to make it interesting they add parts that are true but at the same time a enjoyable movie.

  6. We cannot trust historic movies that much.
    The directors may want to change the props,dressing, and most importantly the plot of the story.
    Some movies have some facts to the real history but some are not. Public people might want to compare the real history and the movie. Just to find out whether some are true or not. Yes,it's true that we could not trust movies that much. Some parts of it that involves 'flying', are some of the fake parts that are used in movies. Some movies put ' Based on a true story'.But,we can't trust that much because the directors would not want it to be the same as the true story. We must make sure that we are not influence all the historic movie as we also need to find the research too.

  7. Many Movies cant be trusted but some parts of the movie *might* be true but most of it are fake as the director wants to make the movie interesting so that citizens wll tend to believe the history of the movie but we cant say its entirely wrong as there are many answers to the history of our ancestors.

  10. Not all the movies can be trusted to represent true history. For example like 'Movie 300', there are not really the same as the history. The director have change the story, the look of the characters, the custume of the characters and more.

  11. We can’t use movie to represent true story .Producer are editing the whole story line in order to make the whole story interesting and attractive, so that many people would want to watch the movie, the producer at the same time could earn more money if many people went to see. I personally felt that the best place that could represent true history and story is from the internet ,as people could find many information from internet, it helps us to find information that we need for project ,which made me trust the internet for informations.

  12. NO, it might not be trustworthy and would cheat us. And not tell us the right or exact information that we should be looking for and for younger generation, such movies would teach them the wrong thing. But in not saying all movies are bad, there are a few percentages of movies that are not trustworthy.

  13. Some movies can be trusted but some cant.As they might have edited some of the movie and present to us and we will think that it is true.Like the movie 300,actually it consist of more than 300 people but in the movie they have put 300 people in the movie.

  17. Sometimes a movie cannot be trusted to represent history. Some movies can use to trick people to believe what happened in the history or century ago. To say the facts, the spartans were more cruel then the one in the movie in real life. Cheating our feelings ain't good. Hope that directors will be more creative on making movies, not cheating other feelings by filming movies from the past. But filming the opposite of what happen in history.

    We can take some movie as true history but not all , some movie will give a lot people WRONG information and they will tend to BELIEVE the movie. We always got to remember movie can be edited ,the story lines can be change and last but not least can be FAKE.Why it's fake? They can change the effect no matter it's sound effect or the image effect ,it can be change. Most of the movie is for the sake to allow people to enjoy them and not for learning , draggy ...
