12 Movies That Said They Were True, But Were Definitely Lying

1. Saving Mr. Banks – At the end of the movie it looks like Mrs. Travers is crying tears of joy because of the how Mary Poppins turned out. Yeah, no. She hated it. Like a lot.

She wrote that she didn't think she'd ever be able to smile again. Ouch!

2. Argo – Basically, Ben Affleck took all the stuff the Canadians did for the hostage crisis and said the Americans did it.

Even Former President Jimmy Carter called Affleck out on this one!

3. The Blind Side – Most of this is true, except that the real Michael Oher definitely knew how to play football before he met his adopted family.

If they needed extra scenes they should have just zoomed in on Sandy Bullock's gravity-defying bangs for 20 minutes. I would have had no complaints.

4. The Strangers – In the movie, three people mentally and then physically torture the residents of a house they break into. The truth? Burglars were going to rob the director’s house when he was a kid. But he was home. So they didn’t.

That is some edge-of-your-seat horror if I ever heard it!

5. Titanic – Remember Murdoch, the crewman who Billy Zane bribes to get on a lifeboat? Welp, apparently Cameron’s film wasn’t accurate with all that, and the president of 20th Century Fox had to visit his descendants and give an apology – oh, and a check worth more than $5,000.

Oh yeah, he likely didn't committ suicide either.

6. Braveheart – Let’s just chalk this up to Mel being Mel. He directed himself in this wildly inaccurate movie. There were no kilts, no sexy times with Isabelle, and def no Primae Noctis.

Thank God, cause gross.

7. American Hustle – Honestly, there are a few inaccuracies on this one, but the one that bums me out the most is that Bale’s character’s combover wasn’t nearly as elaborate as the film shows.

It looks more like your average high school teacher than say, a Donald Trump.

8. Captain Phillips – The silver screen captain saves his crew! Except not really! He ignored many emails warning about piracy, and could have prevented the whole thing.

The real hero was Cheif Engineer Mike Perry. This is Argo all over again!

9. The Revenant – Leo rides his horse off a cliff in what may have been the most memorable part of the movie, or at least the preview. He then guts it and sleeps inside ala Luke in Star Wars. The real Glass was worried about getting attacked but it never actually happened.

And to be honest, I could have done without having that scene seared into my memory for all time.

10. Cool Runnings – In truly sad news, the chant, “Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, its bobsled time!” was never said by the team.

That lucky egg better be real though!

11. Fargo – The incredible story behind this movie seemed too bizarre to actually be true. Cause it was. The Coen Brothers made up the entire thing, despite the opening caption being, “This is a True Story.”

I have never felt more betrayed. Kinda glad that woodchipper part never happened though.

12. Hostel – The basic premise was that tourists would check into a hostel and then rich people would torture them cause, you know, rich people. Really, Eli Roth saw a website that had a story about people paying to shoot other people in Thailand or whatever.

It sounds like a kid who left his project til the last minute and chose to write about the first uncredited Wikipedia page he saw.
