Summary
Did you know that Pocahontas probably never fell in love with John Smith, as the Disney and other film versions of those events pretend? That Godzilla was originally on anti-American and antinuclear movie, heavily cut and supplemented with new material before screening in the United States? That Zorro was not created by an American author but derived from the much older story of the Mexican struggle for independence? That Black Hawk Down and many other war movies were censored and indirectly subsidized by the Pentagon?
