If you were being honest you know that many people are going to take this account factual or at least close to it. It's silly to assume that everyone is going to make that distinction. You are obviously a defender of the movie and very sensitive to criticism (K fine) which brings you to harp on minute details. I'm talking about general impressions by many people who will see the movie. That title card (whether it says "based on true events" or "based on first hand accounts") gives an impression of truth.

I am not going to comment whether I agree or disagree with Kathryn Bigelow nor with her depiction of torture. I would simply like to correct the statement about "based on true events" being placed in the front of the movie. The movie does not claim to be based on true events, it states "Based on first-hand accounts." This is entirely different that true events. Never once does the film attempt to confirm the veracity of it's content. It simply states that it is based on the accounts given by those who were directly involved. Whether those people told the truth or not is not the point not the claim nor is the the purpose of the film.

Then he asks her "do you believe that that is true or were you duped?" She skates around it by claiming innocent naivite. Then don't put "based on true events" in front of your movie!
