Copyright re movieinsider.com

The site movieinsider.com has no real content and the bot has basically hit false positives. Comparing the two sites we see no way that copyright could have been violated, since the duplication detection only detected that both sites had the same facts about the movie correct! Bots /cannot/ accurately judge copyright violations--at best they can possibly detect plagiarism.Thegeneralguy (talk) 23:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Outline

There needs to be a plot outline for this movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.31.46.14 (talk) 02:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Historical Accuracy

One line under the section Historical Accuracy needs to be cross-reference, and probably removed. (I have cross-referenced, but I'm sure that such things require double-cross-referencing.) The line reads: "The references to the sexual proclivities of both President John F. Kennedy and The Reverend Martin Luther King Junior are for the most part speculation and not based on any hard facts and..." Interestingly, on the Wiki Page referencing (Dr./Rev.) Mr. Martin Luther King, Jr. some significant evidence is provided, including where Mr. King himself admitted: King explained his extramarital affairs as "a form of anxiety reduction." All FBI records regarding Mr. King's adulterous affairs (and all other FBI surveillance regarding him) are set to be released in 2027. The way this Historical Accuracy section reads at the moment almost seems like someone's attempt to white-wash the truth and rewrite history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.242.49.192 (talk) 08:09, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Bruno Hauptmann

Richard Hauptmann was framed (deliberately called Bruno), and later beaten / tortured. It is a disgrace that Eastwood did not show this historical point in his movie. It seems to me, a certain "anti-German" sentiment played along. German American J. Edgar Hoover is portrayed as an egocentric gay, German American Norman Schwarzkopf, Sr. as incompetent and German American Hauptmann as a greedy child murder. A bit too black and white, don't you think?! 91.65.16.181 (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
