[RC] LA Times Hopkins Story: Long trail of lies - Campbell DavidOk people, Enough bashing of Hidalgo and Disney because it is so called a true story. The credits (if you read them) does not say it is a true story. It says it is "based" on a true story, and Frank Hopkins did exist so it is true. Heck, has anyone seen the movie "Hoosiers", it is a so called true story. The only thing in common with the movie and the real basketball team where they were both from Indiana and both won the state championship by a last second shot, NOTHING else in the movie is true. Movies are just that, movies. The movie "The Ten Commandments" with Charleton (sp?) Heston is mostly fabricated. The only thing in common is Moses parted the Red Sea and brought the people out of Egypt, a few other things refer to bible scriptures but mostly all fabricated. Hollywood has always taken a fact and made fiction from it, which is why it is called Hollywood. Go see a movie for what it is; a movie. Off my soapbox David L.
