Once again, questions of fact versus fiction are rearing their heads in this year's Oscars race. Go inside the controversies:
"Film is not a mirror," says Charles Randolph, writer ofabout Fox News chief Roger Ailes' alleged harassment of his female colleagues. "It's a canvas."
Fletcher's touchstone was "emotional truth" — "the emotional memory departs from the facts and the memory becomes the story," he admits — but he did change one script element to make it more factually accurate. In real life, Elton discovered Elvis when his mother gave him an album; Fletcher initially showed him seeing Elvis on TV. "That was the only thing Elton was adamant about," he says.
goes well beyond these conventions, since the entire story is premised on a confession that is not credible."
