You should never take any movie "based on true events" as fact. Never. It is asinine to do so, especially if you are an adult. It is better to just look at them as dramatic recreations. I'm surprised you haven't figured that out yet. These types of movies aren't documentaries. But that being said, even documentaries tend to stretch or distort truth. I can't believe you watched 'Captian Phillips' thinking it was going to be 100% truth. lol...that's actually kind of funny.
