Isn't that the same way that the recent academy award winning "A Beautiful Mind" won 
their oscar ?  

I never ventured to see the film but all the bruhaha about it centered around the fact 
that it was VERY loosely based on the main characters life but it was marketed and 
touted as being "based on a true story".  Very little of it being actually "true" or 
"real".

By this I mean, any "story" can be true if you choose it to be.  Perhaps a better 
tagline would/should be "based on reality".  Then of course you get into the whole 
"parallel universe" discussions and the whole bunk about "virtual" reality etc.

Just meandering thoughts,
Dave

I remember him saying this.  Didn't he also address one critic's dislike 
of the way he chose to represent (or leave out) some historical events 
in Malcolm X by saying "Where's [critic's name]'s film about Malcolm X?"
