To what extent are movies based on historical events accurate? How do filmmakers change the accuracy to appeal to popular culture and do they make movies based on the common perception of what happened (i.e. what people want to believe happened)?

Analysis of Peer Reviews
Five people reviewed my project when I had completed it. Overall, while they said that the blog was put together nicely, and that I had used well chosen evidence to back up my conclusion, there are a couple things that I would change, or do differently if I were to do my project again. One reviewer suggested that another way that I could have done this project was to take three different movies about the same event and analyze their accuracy. If I were to do this project again, I may consider using this idea because it would show the different ways that different directors portray certain historical events, and how they each change it to depict the event. Another way in which I would change my project would be to make my analysis and data collection more concise and to the point, rather than dragging out my posts for longer than they needed to be. The reviewers also liked the film clips, and pictures in my blog that I used to support my conclusion. However, if I were to do this again, I would add more analysis after each film or picture that explains how they support my conclusion, and why I am using them as evidence. In addition, while the reviewers said that the MLA bibliography was well done, I would be more clear to which citations go with the film clips, which citations go with the pictures, as well as which citations go with the research that I used. Finally, the reviewers appreciated how they could relate to the popular movies I used to compare with historical events, however if I were to do this project again, I would use one or two more movies based on historical events to compare them to what actually happened. This would help strengthen my conclusion.
