Complaints about historical accuracy in dramas miss the point. That has never been the goal. It’s not what drama is for.

Good historical drama is true to the facts as known, and utilizes extensive research to get them right. In a movie, the surroundings...architecture, clothing, style, music are historically accurate. The only fiction should be where the facts are unknown and any dialogue or representations should be a reasonable interpretation of what happened and definitely not contradict what is known about the era and the history.

THE KING'S SPEECH did that and it's a wonderful movie. THE GREAT GATSBY should've tried to accurately portray the era; instead it was ruined with JayZ music.

The last thing we need now with the climate in the US is a movie that inaccurately vilifies white people.
