Jacobite Movies?

One of the most famous movies to feature the Jacobite Rebellion, or in this case the years after the '45 would be Kidnapped. While there are many versions, Disney's version in the 60's is entertaining, especially Peter Finch as Allen Breck.

After seeing a documentary about Disney's filming of the lemmings "suicide" in the 60's, I can't see them producing anything with any validity. Not that their movies aren't entertaining, I just don't trust anything they put on film as truth.

Kidnapped is a work by Robert Louis Stevenson, a work of fiction. The movie isn't a carbon copy of the book (as most movies aren't), but it's pretty good. Stevenson based the story on the famous Appin Murder case, which is depicted in the story and its movie versions, but it's not a documentary.

btw, the Leprechauns in Darby O'Gill and the Little People weren't "real" either, but I won't hold that against Disney as some sort of conspiracy.

...and as we all know, all the other film companies work tirelessly to make sure the films they put out are accurate. What would Star Trek have been without all the research for fact......

Come on guys, if you want research and accuracy read a book. If you want big bang mindless entertainment go to a movie. If it's not flashy enough, they will make it flashy to sell the film. Yes, even documentaries.
