If you make a movie about Elizabeth I, how much of the dialogue is her real words? Audiences know when they go see a movie that it is fiction.

I think it is a mistake to identify a movie according to its language, as if movies were literature.

When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris.
