“McQueen’s character was invented as far as I am aware.”
Was everyone else in the movie an actual historical individual?
Probably not.
McQUeen’s character was historically plausible. A Japanese lesbian would not have been.
Neither could Denzel Washington or Demi Moore cast as British infantry officers in Dunkirk be considered ‘historically accurate’.
Yours is perhaps the most illogical comment I’ve ever seen.
Stretching it to the extreme.
Great Escape was a completely made up movie.
I loved that movie when I was a kid, but it’s fiction inspired by an actual event.
Total fiction, none the less.
