I agree that not everything was factual, but it was BELIEVABLE. The movie was not. I'm sure that Andy would have been happy with the movie. Don't want to sound too cynical, but having your book turned into a Hollywood blockbuster with all the fame and money that entails would help you be more accepting of poor editing.
