HISTORY IN FILM


Valkyrie is one of many recent films on historical topics. It received some criticism for its sympathetic portrayal of Claus von Stauffenberg, but equally others loved it. FrostNixon on the other hand was almost universally praised and gained 5 Oscar nominations. Balancing entertainment and accuracy can't be easy and historical movies can range from the, in my opinion, sublime (Thirteen Days) to the ridiculous (The Patriot).
