Liberal revisionism and crap acting

Can you summarize the revisionism for those of us now likely to never watch it?

The Indie has always fascinated me. Too bad they will never make a decent movie of it.

- a scene with a cruel white officer making the brothers stay in shark infested water while he sat on a raft(never happened in reality)
- a scene with a corp America CEO cackling about how the war was good for biz (never happened in reality)
- The concerned and misunderstood Japanese submarine capt(never happened in reality)
- Kaitain mini sub attack, (never happened in reality)
- some lame side story about some poor slob sailor falling for rich girl, daddy disapproves yada yada, yawn
Stopped watching halfway was too painful

So, apart from those minor quibbles, it was historically correct in every way, right? Like 'Braveheart' or 'The Patriot'?

Or 'Revenge of the Vampire Killer nazi nun zombies of Atlantis'?

Well, they do speak English which I'm pretty sure the actual crew did. However, other than that....mmmmmmmmm NO
