There is a lot that is not accurate, but more in the way that Rome was not accurate - still good and still gets the main points across.  But I am not sure why they felt the need to humanize the prosecutor.

[Sheilbh]

It's very Sorkin in its politics is, I suspect, why.

That also I think negatively affects how he depicts the defendants.

'Once Upon a Time In Hollywood' - overall good, excellent visuals and editing, very nice soundtrack though as it's 1969 that's a given anyway.

Somewhat marred by the ending, but I guess it makes sense within the movie's overall premise.

First QT film I've enjoyed in a a long while.

[Eddie Teach]

Army of the Dead. You know what you're getting.

Does the skinny hottie play Squeaky Fromme?

[Josquius]

Been watching the new Rick and morty. It's fan base are scum who don't realise they're the butt of the joke but it's a fun show.
Latest episode.... Captain Planet. Wonderfully obscure reference and great episode.

[Eddie Teach]

What reference? Captain Planet is definitely not obscure.

Probably an age thing. I would be surprised if anybody under 35 got it.

Maybe under 30? It apparently ended in 1996.

I heard it's actually quite accurate both in the legal aspects and in the events portrayed, or as accurate as a movie can get. What was the thing about the prosecutor?

He didn't do any of the things the show did to try to humanize him.

As I said, it is accurate in the way the show Rome was.  It gives you a pretty decent outline of what happened and even gets some bits right.  But it is written for entertainment, not truth.

I think I know the one you're referring to, if so now, Squeaky was like the lead woman of the gang, if so she was played by an older 30yr old woman.

But check out the film and see what you think.

Yeah - as I say I think it's very Sorkin so it sort of has an underlying faith in institutions and kind of liberal/centrist bent which makes the defendants a little bit more sympathetic by softening their politics.

I also think the Bobby Seale story is shown in a very strong way in one particular scene - but from my understanding in the trial that happened daily for many days while he was being denied his right to a lawyer or to represent himself (or for a delay while his lawyer was recovering from surgery). I think that whole story is tonally different than the rest of what the film is doing and it almost feels like it deserves to be on its own.

No, that was a different character (Gipsy Share), played by Lena Dunham. Squeaky Fromme was played by Dakota Fanning.

I have no idea who's the "skinny hottie" that Yi is asking for.
