While this movie, and The Perfect Storm, and many others about war, ships and whatever else may be BASED on true stories and events...they are NOT true stories.
As there was NOT always somebody in every location at every second to document the event and the speeches and actions that people did, much of this story is fiction.
I found the movie interesting, that's for sure.
I found it a good insight to the event with a basic understanding to the incident...but it is still partially fiction.
What did impress me very much was that a film of this magnitude, a huge cast, a huge set, special effects and locations can be filmed for only 10 million dollars while a movie which takes place in very few locations with very few actors, few effects, few sets and much less than this film had will be shot for three or 4 times the budget.
Whoever worked the finances on this movie should be in public office to deal with the finances the Canadian and Provincial Governments budget problems.
They obviously know how to control the spending of money to the extreme.
Make-up, set design, acting and everything else was great too.
I am just overly impress with the people behind the cash flow...they really know how to spend the money, so that every cent is made to work.
