But, there isn't necessarily the implication of historical accuracy when those factors are present. Again, I don't disagree with you, I'm just saying that just because a movie is set during a historical event and uses historical figures, it doesn't always mean that it should be taken as fact.

I'm not saying it does, I'm saying that people will inevitably take it as historical fact.

Shakespeare is a different case, since Shakespeare is a rather murky historical figure anyway. He was also apparently gay, or bisexual, or perhaps even a number of different people.

Munich deals with modern events. Events that do, in fact, have a bearing on today's reality and how people see the world, in some part how we've reached where we are as of now. Things like Shakespeare having a comedic romantic romp, not so much.

The omission of the killing of an innocent man by mistaken identity is particularly bizarre.
