Which of these fictional portrayals was most egregious to YOU? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Movies with Historically Inaccurate Premises - ua-cam.com/video/Zfjx9ckrahE/v-deo.html
Aaliyah, Cleopatra, Marilyn Monroe, Nina Simone, and Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor and Nina Simone were treated like SNL sketches more than real people.
I'll never understand why Disney ever thought adapting the story of Pocahontas in such was a good idea. The way the movie handles story, and how much it "Disneyfies" it is just egregious.
Marie Antoinette shouldn’t be up here even as an honorable mention. Kirsten Dunst did a great job portraying her as a young girl ill prepared to be a Queen to a foreign Kingdom. You sympathize with her because she wasn’t ready and was only 14, yet when she became Queen and a Mother, she really did her best and tried but by then it was too late.
Marie Antoinette, the person, was done dirty by life and history. The more I learn about her, the more I conclude she was the scapegoat of France. Everything she did was villainized to absurdity and although she was under no circumstances perfect, and she deserved to be somewhat blamed for France's downfall, (she was still the Queen, it's part of the job title to be blamed) the amount of hate she received for being human was disproportionate to the actual crimes she committed. I don't think any film can make her a realistically sympathetic character when even her most iconic catchphrase is a piece of fabricated propaganda made by revolutionists who were so consumed with the compulsion to dismantle corruption, they executed each other. I feel much too strongly about this, I'm sorry.
You wanna see the real Amelia and Sacagawea? Watch Night in the Museum (Amelia is in the second): they're totally awesome and exactly how they were described in the video.
The Pam and Tommy series, it's just so weird to me because no one asked Pamela, and she herself has said that it was salt on the wound, they portray her like a victim something she says she isn’t
Ana De Armas was possibly one of the only redeeming things about the Blonde misfire. She gave a lot of depth to her performance, deservedly getting her first Oscar nomination.
Andrew Dominik admitted that he didn't care about Marilyn Monroe or her accomplishments and only cared about her body. He was also very misogynistic as he claimed people didn't watch Marilyn Monroe movies anymore, which is BS.
she did i learned through her interviews she was the only one in the film BTS crew who genuinely cared about Marilyn, ana did massive amount of research to know personally more about norma jean/marilyn monroe as well as she barely read the blonde book that the film was based on, i hope ana does more films with greater directors/screenwriters
After Pocahontas and Marilyn Monroe, I was thinking Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, and Cleopatra. It's almost as if Hollywood doesn't want to show that historical women could actually be competent or something....
Cleopatra was a force to be reckoned with in real life! She was a badass in real life! She wasn't the first female pharaoh, but she was her own person, plus she was married when she started her affair with Marc Antony, of Rome.
@@superandrew2000 Cool! I knew that, because didn't they only have select names for their kids when they were royalty? And they were fewer for women? But wasn't she the most famous today, in our world?
@@EmB61491 Ptolemy (16 who were Pharaohs, plus a couple who either never ruled, or ruled portions of the Ptolemaic empire, like Cyrene & Cyprus) & occasionally Alexander - Berenice (4), Arsinoe (4), Cleopatra (7), & Selene (2). There were a couple of other names earlier on in the dynasty. But the Alexander's & Selene's still had Ptolemy or Cleopatra attached. The Ptolemies were known by epithets back in the day, rather than the Roman numerals of later - Cleopatra's father was Ptolemy {XII} _Theos Philopater_ (the father-loving god), & _Neos Dionysus_ (the New Dionysus)- the Alexandrian mob, in their typical style called him, _Nothos_ (Greek for 'bastard', as a statement of his illegitimacy)- & an only slightly less insulting name for him was _Auletes_ ('the flute-player'), but it still hinted to his drunken antics.
John Smith made up A LOT of stories in his journals about being saved from death by a Princess in different countries! Also, I loved The Greatest Showman but the real Barnhum was an ugly man-inside and out and almost everything was made up! He didn’t have a good relationship with his ‘oddities’!
I was born in 64. Marilyn Monroe was always part of the conversation. Sex symbol, glamor girl, president's mistress, trainwreck. I was in my 50s when I finally saw one of her movies. Nobody ever told me she could act.
Absolutely done with seeing other actresses portray Marilyn. Let the woman rest. And give her more credits than some weak psychotic woman. Furthermore; most are terrible portraits of mostly brilliant women !
I loved Mommy Dearest and watched it with my own mom. Even if she wasn’t portrayed as she could be, her lack of motherhood and how she treated people seemed pretty accurate though she could’ve received a tad more depth. Clearly she needed therapy and probably more backstory.
Omg. I cannot stop laughing at the Diana musical. 😂😂 that is in such poor taste it’s honestly hilarious. Whoever came up with that idea earned their salary that day.
Ana de Armas nailed Marilyn Monroe perfectly; I mean sure the late Marilyn had enough crapped in her life, so the best thing is that Hollywood ought to stopped with the biopic and memoirs
13:01 I honestly think the Disney movie is entertaining for its audience (children) but parents should gradually introduce the actual events regarding her
I never thought Pocahontas would end on this top (but then i remembered, she was a real woman , like Mulan) what a great top this was. Thanks Ms Mojo, have a happy tuesday morning and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
I agree with the picks but I feel like the Pocahontas one isn’t as disrespectful as say they Nina Simone one because of the fact that we don’t know the truth of her life, so creative license is granted. I adore Zoe Saldana, but that was just awful. Facial prosthetics are OK, but a woman like Simone who so much of her art and cultural impact was about her blackness, and African features it is just plain disrespectful to cast a latina with straight hair, western model type to play her. I didn’t even see the movie but the reviews were abysmal. I hope a biopic of Nina’s life is made someday and I hope she’s played by Michaela Cole. She is Nina’s spitting image.
They asked what Viola thought of the movie and she said something like I can’t comment on it because I don’t know what that is. I literally don’t know what I’m looking at.
I think the only way to watch Pocahontus without feeling super uncomfortable it's just to tell yourself it's about a completely made up person who happened to have the same name as the historical figure. With the differences, I don't even know that it'd be that hard to convince yourself.
I complained about Pocahontas from the beginning, going so far as to read more accurate biographies to my children. The fact that she was a child when she met the British and never had a romance with John Smith seems too important to change. On the other hand, the Disney movie was a good time, if it only hadn't been pushing inaccurate history! I had similar objections about The Greatest Showman. I know that Jenny Lind was a famous soprano, so why did they cast an alto? There must be many gorgeous soprano voices they could have cast, but deliberately did not. I also know that PT Barnum was not an admirable man but with Hugh Jackman cast in the role, well! Hard not to love him!
Marie Antoinette shouldn't be in this video. The movie depicted her early years in France very well. Political savvy didn't really come until it was too late.
All of these movies were a discredit to actual history and real people, so thank you for making this video. Braveheart was a great movie, but complete fiction. The real story of the life of William Wallace could have been as engaging, but they messed it up. Sacajawea and Pocahontas have both been harmed by not only movies, but history. The stories we were told as children were almost entirely false. Cleopatra was a Ptolemaic ruler of Egypt, and the presentation of her in pretty much every movie shows her as simply a seductress. There's so much more to the story. I could dissect every one of these mentions, but you've done a good enough job of it that I don't have to.
For once, I'd like to see one of these lists get more in depth about how robbed the audience was of the real story of theae real life figures. Give an example or 2 of what the portrayal was lacking instead of just echoing what others have said.
Given Pocahontas controversy that’s probably why from the start of legos Disney princess theme in 2014 Pocahontas took until this year to be a Lego mini figure and minidoll both of which I own but maybe give the reality of Pocahontas makes sense she took so long to be an Lego fig
Makes me think about how goddesses are negatively depicted in media. Like how aphrodiedy is treated more like the goddess of lust instead of the goddess of love.
The cleopatra one had 100000000 things wrong starting with she was not Caucasian. I hate how every time a historical Egyptian movie is made black people are only slaves. Yes there were some European people in Egypt and yes there were multiracial people in Egypt but come on…. When they need slaves black people appear in every subordinate role and the stories when there are kings and queens, powerhouse warriors and leaders there is all a sudden nation and abundance of Caucasian people smh just too much. 1930-1950s movies are extremely inaccurate and is what society continues to based movies on.
What allot of people don't realise in Pocahontas is an actual Native American woman voiced her. They could have easily used a more recognised voice actor or a white woman.
A pop-rock musical (or musical comedy depending on how you look at it) about Diana was always gonna fail. It wasn't serious enough to pay any kind of respect to her.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody should’ve made the list. Whitney Houston was one of the most beautiful women of her time but they clearly didn’t care about that with casting!
Yeah ahhh,i tried to watch that Blonde movie on Netflix after seeing reviews of the movie, it freaked me out and it was like sooo cringy and unfaithful to the original Marilyn Monroe that i that i had to turn it off, there was a scene in particular that her mother drowned Marilyn now i am not if that’s true or not, but it just freaked me out and the way they did that scene was awful it made me a bit uncomfortable as i was watching it. I don’t understand why it’s okay for a white skin actress to put brown paint on herself and call her black that’s seem discrimination to the black community and even if there are black why would you need to edit there skin so they are much darker like it dosen’t make sense. Also it’s not on your top 10 list of famous women done dirty by their fictional adaptations, i watched the cleopatra movie with Elizabeth Taylor when i was watching that i was like this is white washing and it was like the movie was in two parts, but yeah i would also say that version of Cleopatra has also got done dirty from the movie Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor.
Let's not forget the absurd portrayal of Anne Boleyn by Jodie Turner-Smith. Anne Boleyn is not Black. I believe we can all agree on that, considering the number of paintings of her. If stupidity was a food, we'd all be grossly overweight.
I think that came from accounts in Anne’s life calling her “swarthy.” But those were said by an England whose standards of light-skinned were basically pure white, so I'd take it with a grain of salt.
To be fair all of the Disney movies are Disneyfied including Walt's first princess: Snow White, but I do get the importance that unlike Snow White, Pocahontas did actually exist and that she wasn't a grown woman when she married John despite him being an adult and that it was a marriage to basically stop the fighting between their people and when he died she married John Rolfe(The other john) I think, I'm remembering this from a high school history book.
@emberskelly4524, please read an accurate account of her life. She was not married to John Smith EVER, was kidnapped as a girl and trained by the colonists. Converted to Christianity, married to John Rolfe at 17 and had a son, sent to England with him to show off the "civilized savage" and died there at the age of 21. She had a very strange, short life.

Winnie madela movie is a very bad movie because they didn't have any South African actors playing the lead roles in the first place as a south Africa it made me mad because we have alot of great South Africa actors
I have to point this out - anyone who thought Blonde by Joyce Carol Oats was a memoir or a biography of her and her life, then they are stupid. And yes, I’m gonna use that word cause even the writer herself has stated that Blonde is FICTION. It’s not supposed to be an accurate portrait of her or her life and the author can take as many liberties as she wants, just like those who write fan fiction. She wrote a FICTIONAL BOOK about Marilyn Monroe. It’s not supposed to be accurate 🤦🏻♀️ THATS WHY IT‘S CALLED FICTION!!!
Never underestimate the power of prayer it could have been someone's prayer that God answered that saved your Life Praise God Praying for Everyone Everyday God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏
Jesus Christ died for our Sins According to the scriptures and that he was Buried and that he rose again the third day praying for everyone everyday God bless you all.
Sorry, i do not agree with you. Too much criticism. I kind of enjoyed these films. This video is too negative… Joe Saldana is black, why she cannot portray a black person… Sorry, but it sounds too complicated for me. She was not the exact skin tone? Seriously! I agree that the film with Charlton Heston was too much, a white person should not play a black or native person… But Joe Saldana can only play certain skin type of black person? Exaggerated! I think also that Ana de Armas look amazing as Marilyn Monroe… and yes, Marilyn suffered a lot, so for what to hide that fact? Also Cleopatra looks amazing…It is a pity that nowadays everything has to be soooo exact that you lose the enjoyment of just watch a good film. Please don’t hit me. It is just my humble opinion.
Let me help you understand. She’s Afro-Latina and much of Nina’s identity and experience came from being a black woman. There’s PLENTY of dark skinned women that could have been used for that role but they chose to over look them. This has been happening to people of color more specifically dark skinned people of color for a very long time. It’s tiring and it pisses people off and it’s a spit in the face of Nina’s legacy. She was unapologetically black, dark skinned and proud. She deserved to be honestly portrayed by someone as such. They essentially put Zoe in black face when all they had to do was get a dark skinned actress. In Nina’s story, her looked mattered. My question to you is this, if they got Marilyn Monroe’s looks in a movie wrong, would this be too complicated for you? Would that be too negative?
I'd also like to add that at the time of Nina, Zoe didn't identify as a black woman or afro-latina. And is from the Dominican Republic which has a history of anti-black rhetoric. So it would upset people that this happened.
Rene Zellweger as Judy Garland is a DISGRACE!!! BEYOND DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!! Unconscionable desecration of Judy Garland as a human being and a world-class artist.

Anna Nicole Smith - both biopics and the opera. ew
I liked Nina….
I have to point this out - anyone who thought Blonde by Joyce Carol Oats was a memoir or a biography of her and her life, then they are stupid. And yes, I’m gonna use that word cause even the writer herself has stated that Blonde is FICTION. It’s not supposed to be an accurate portrait of her or her life and the author can take as many liberties as she wants, just like those who write fan fiction. She wrote a FICTIONAL BOOK about Marilyn Monroe. It’s not supposed to be accurate 🤦🏻♀️ THATS WHY IT‘S CALLED FICTION!!!
Dianna the musical was cringe but it’s what she would’ve wanted
Never underestimate the power of prayer it could have been someone's prayer that God answered that saved your Life Praise God Praying for Everyone Everyday God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏
Jesus Christ died for our Sins According to the scriptures and that he was Buried and that he rose again the third day praying for everyone everyday God bless you all.
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi hey likeit
Sorry, i do not agree with you. Too much criticism. I kind of enjoyed these films. This video is too negative… Joe Saldana is black, why she cannot portray a black person… Sorry, but it sounds too complicated for me. She was not the exact skin tone? Seriously! I agree that the film with Charlton Heston was too much, a white person should not play a black or native person… But Joe Saldana can only play certain skin type of black person? Exaggerated! I think also that Ana de Armas look amazing as Marilyn Monroe… and yes, Marilyn suffered a lot, so for what to hide that fact? Also Cleopatra looks amazing…It is a pity that nowadays everything has to be soooo exact that you lose the enjoyment of just watch a good film. Please don’t hit me. It is just my humble opinion.
Let me help you understand. She’s Afro-Latina and much of Nina’s identity and experience came from being a black woman. There’s PLENTY of dark skinned women that could have been used for that role but they chose to over look them. This has been happening to people of color more specifically dark skinned people of color for a very long time. It’s tiring and it pisses people off and it’s a spit in the face of Nina’s legacy. She was unapologetically black, dark skinned and proud. She deserved to be honestly portrayed by someone as such. They essentially put Zoe in black face when all they had to do was get a dark skinned actress. In Nina’s story, her looked mattered. My question to you is this, if they got Marilyn Monroe’s looks in a movie wrong, would this be too complicated for you? Would that be too negative?
I'd also like to add that at the time of Nina, Zoe didn't identify as a black woman or afro-latina. And is from the Dominican Republic which has a history of anti-black rhetoric. So it would upset people that this happened.
Rene Zellweger as Judy Garland is a DISGRACE!!! BEYOND DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!! Unconscionable desecration of Judy Garland as a human being and a world-class artist.
