Gettysburg!
Oh wait, do you mean rewrite history as in change or actual retelling of history?

'The Patriot' (AKA Braveheart II... This time its Colonial ) Christ, I feel like throwing a fecking brick through the telly every time I see it. Outrageous! 'U-571', but at least Levey eventually apologised for it lol. ' It was a distortion...a mercenary decision...to create this parallel history in order to drive the movie for an American audience. Both my grandparents [sic] were officers in World War II, and I would be personally offended if somebody distorted their achievements.' Even Bill Clinton wrote an apology too! 'Merikins, eh?

Pearl Harbor; for the love of all that is humane, wtf?
Titanic; "Third Class Passenger on deck!" (security arrives with batons to "correct" the situation). Plus they're waist deep in arctic water for an hour without dying of hypothermia.
Apollo Thirteen; perpetuates the myth that the Apollo missions were something other than a propaganda program filmed on a Hollywood stage.
JFK; the stupidity of the conspiracy theories can't be deflected even by the thickest tin foil hat.
Oh, in case someone isn't sure, there's a smiley face that goes on one of these...

Wait what? I thought U-571 was a documentary! And therein lies the problem. 90% of your Country probably thinks so, too! Point taken (lol), but you can understand people who were actually involved personally and still alive being a bit irked by it....No? If you're making a film about a historical event, at least make some effort to contain a bit of truth. A good start would be not blatantly lying about who did it, its the 'little things' like this that can make all the difference. RE: 'The Patriot', don't get me effin started. I remember a Battle of Britain film was mooted and supposed to star Tom Cruise as 'Billy Fisk'....mercifully it appears to have been shelved. I can see it now. Fisk: Get me the Goddamn President....Of Britain on the phone!!! Churchill: Fisk? I don't like this guy....HE'S DANGEROUS. However, we need every swinging d*ck in the air to save Blighty, and this kid is good. He just might swing the balance...... Fisk: You're GODDAMNED RIGHT I'M MUTHA-F*KKIN DANGEROUS!!! Hold tight President Churchill, here comes the Cavalry, tuh save all O' Y'all asses!!! WHOO-HOO!!! Etc etc....Fisk shoots down 42 Huns and saves Britain single handedly, US audience believes it, you get the picture.
