The omission of Mirra and the whole Balistrieri episode from the Brasco movie was a major disapointment. In addition to that,they blatantly invented (lied about) major plot points,while ignoring the true stuff that was so much more amazing.
I totally agree. That´s why very often a movie that is made from a best selling book is not as good as the book.
The movie would have been 5 hrs long if they put everything in. So they had to pick and choose.
Yes. Hollywood is always simplifying stories. If they would include all the details, it would leave 90 percent of the audience confused and subsequently unhappy. After all, movies are made for the masses and of course, to make money. And you can find this same mindset with the people who are producing mob documentaries, now found on youtube for example. The stories are always simplified and therefore not fully reliabale. Are they entertaining? Sure they are! But they are also deceptive and misleading.
