you don't have to make stuff up - that's not simplifying things.

And dumbing-down is not equivalent to simplifying, unless you do it in a dumb way.

Talented writers take one issue, or one theme, from the big picture and weave a story from that.

Please share with me one movie with a complex storyline involving dozens of characters, you know, like in real life, then. I am curious.

Midway was an example of of a movie where the director and writer were concerned about historical accuracy, and so avoided the sort of risible nonsense that Stobb lampooned in the imitation Game. I am now curious as to whether you will respond in the way that I expect.
