Otherwise without this "good-guy-bad-guy" concept, you would have a historical documentary, such as Tora Tora Tora. There, you will see nothing but a rendition of history, or as close as can be.
And it would be wise to note that historical movies don't generate very much revenue, especially when compared to a-historical movies, which have some fact, but mostly fiction.

so in fact what we have is a similar situation to that which plagues computer games ---sim versus arcade---
and it's a cirular situation--as we all no doubt remember from our childhoods it was only when we were "forced" or encouraged to stop eating sweets and start eating adult food that we actually started to develop a taste for it--and in the end began to actually prefer genuine meals over "toffees"----
the brain is no different--- give it a constant diet of "sweetys" and it will allways "balk" at genuine food---as we know the reasons for the "balking" are not genuine (in the true sense of the word)--
i believe that it is hugely important for the race as a whole that we should be training the average guy/woman on the street to develop a taste for genuine adult food--(of all sorts)
to illustrate the point think of those subjects mass media designates as "adult" at the moment---and what do you find--porn and violence
perhaps they should start giving films like "tora tora tora" and games like SH3 an adult classification----you begin to see my point i hope--
