Then why make the movie about a real person then? Stone deliberately attempted to blur the line between fantasy and reality. Something he does in all his movies. There are going to be people who will believe that's what happened and that's wrong imo.

I know what you mean, because it sucks that there's an entire generation who seems to think Stone's JFK is what happened. At the same time, all "true" stories take artistic license and present someones views of events. Also, Stone made no bones about that. He never said it was historical document, but demanded quite the opposite. Not in defense of what Stone does, just that it's kinda par for the course.....
JFK is still an incredibly entertaining film, imo. Well shot, good acting, great cast. I really enjoy that movie. W. just had none of those qualities, besides dreyfuss....
