Hollywood's Great Constant

Ed Morrissey compares the reactoins to The Great Raid and The Constant Gardener:

...the film industry and its critics have come to the same conclusion: They prefer films that take fiction and pass it off as uncomfortable fact, while excoriating the recreation of real and uncomfortable history onscreen. They consider The Constant Gardener--with its recycled plot and its politically-correct details--a credit to the industry, while a generally faithful recreation of the Cabanatuan raid and the circumstances of Japanese oppression in the Philippines during World War II is derided for its "stereotyping."
