In the aspect of storytelling and filmmaking, all the bad things are real, all the good things are fake. It still belongs to the one best kind of American contemporary film though, thanks the author and Ron Howard. I do hate how Hollywood has made the relink-the-drama-back-to-real-life a new cliche. It actually got old and sour.
