.@Journeys_Film reports that the new @Showtime series #GeorgeAndTammy is pretty accurate. It's by no means a documentary, but with @georgette_jones' memoir as the guiding source it is set up to succeed. https://t.co/y6wxhSBhDw

Revisiting the Robert Eggers #film, The Lighthouse: its set was actually built to withstand the film’s #accuracy , depicting a 19th-century lighthouse. @mikeshutt15 spoke about this endeavor in an article for @Slashfilm. #FactOrFiction https://t.co/DbjUvgRgpo

When it comes to the historical accuracy of some of the most iconic films, their divergence from the facts might surprise you. The Wolf of Wallstreet is just one of many films that are caught in the crossfires of fact versus fiction.

When it comes to balancing the historical accuracy of television and film with the need to update aspects such as costume and set design, where do we draw the line? Do you think it is more important to be historically accurate or to maintain current visual aesthetics?

[Sylvia Ezeokafor @Sylviaoluchy]

saw Woman King today. The movie is set in pre colonial era “Nigeria”. The set design, costume and dialogue did something I have preached for Nollywood to do for a long time. While historical accuracy is important. It’s also important to update the look for visual aesthetics

[Docutegrity @Docutegrity]

#TrueCrime has quickly gained momentum in popular media, causing writers such as @screenrant ’s @cantainn to beg the question, what is more important, historical accuracy or dramatization? Dahmer is not the first crime series to stir the great debate. https://t.co/V5joGEqnB4
