Yep. You may be right about the judge but I would disagree w/him. ........... or her.

You mean, the movie was a kind of advertisement? I know anything we say must be viewed as mere assumptions ... I bet no one of the lawyers/judges has ever read the book (neither the original nor the updated version.)

Yes but what did the PRODUCERS label the movie as? I'll have to check the tape. They should have labeled it as :bs: in it's most purest form. |

Ok, I finally pulled out the video and it says, in the closing credits, just what I thought it said.....
The preceding dramatization is a fictional account inspired by actual events.
I don't know how they could have been any clearer than that. Again, if someone watches the movie and is dumb enough to think that it is the gospel truth it's not the movie's fault ........... it's the viewers.

Good going, Ivory...save that to a file to post on here as needed when a "the movie is true fact" poster comes along...LOL! |

Based on actual events leaves too much gray area. Leaving them to make stuff up and hide behind the bogas title "DRAMATIZATION IS A FICTIONAL ACCOUNT INSPIRED BY ACTUAL EVENTS" . Just a play on words. Which part of the "fictional account"is actual,which part is a dramatization? |

When you guys talk about the mini series it makes me think about when the Review came to Germany and it was a little while after the mini serries was aired and at the show I went to Dennis said don't believe every thing you see on t.v. me and the group I was with were cracking up because on our way to the show we were trying to decide if we got close enough to Dennis which one of us would have enough nerve to ask him about the movie and when he said that we were like I guess he told us how he felt about it already I wasn't going to ask him any way shoot if I had got that close to Dennis the last thing on my mind would have been that movie.A friend of mine who was working back stage said he did ask Dennis about it and he said it was made for tv and that it was a lot more ot it than that movie showed.I think any one with a little sense would have figured that out whenever you hear one side to any story you know you are not getting the whole truth I don't care who it is.

"This two-and-a-half-hour docudrama touches on all of these personal tragedies, but unfortunately forgets the real reason for the strength of the story: the music." (From the editorial review, Amazon.com.)
I found it, I found it! See that's what's misleading: The video is sold and described as a docudrama. Who, in the heck, does what Ivory does after umpteen years of discussions ;D and checks the label? I consumed that movie, believing it was a docudrama. But I guess, I am simply too gullible ...

But WHO is selling and describing it as a docudrama?  I thought this whole thing came from some independant reviewer. Anyway, who watches a movie on TV and expects it to be the gospel truth?  |

All I wanted to say is, that that's were I (at least) got the idea that there is more truth to the story than actually was ... The review sounded kind of professioal to me, so I trusted the writer's competence and ... was deceived. ;D

One or two people on this board think that the whole "movie"is true. They shared their thoughts with us several times. Who's selling and describing the "movie" as a docudrama? People that want to get away with murder. Those who use the "movie" to slander anyone they want to and hide behind the word...DOCUDRAMA so they can't be sued. COWARDS! |

How about the fact that David was portrayed as having the s*** beat out of him and was thrown from a moving car bloodied and dead when he in fact died in a hospital and was personally taken there?!!
