There are some inaccuracies that may somewhat affect the story, but it would be unfair to criticize movies for doing. It’s one thing to complain about a film misrepresenting its subject matter, and quite another to complain about something that doesn’t affect it. This shows us something about how the medium we are telling stories in affect the history we portray. So that’s what I want to talk about today, what forgivable inaccuracies should we expect from a film?

Wiki: Historicity is the historical actuality of persons and events, meaning the quality of being part of history as opposed to being a historical myth, legend, or fiction. Historicity focuses on the true value of knowledge claims about the past (denoting historical actuality, authenticity, and factuality). The historicity of a claim about the past is its factual status.
