you are probably right.. actually I think you ARE right. Never the less...
There was actually MORE fact in Young Guns than I was aware of before viewing the movie. and NO... I'm not EVEN trying to make the case that Young Guns was 'factual'.
I just mean... I didn't know about the competing sides before that movie. I just assumed Billy The Kid was a worthless outlaw... never considered motivation or why he was like he was... that movie made me look into it. I came to the conclusion that he WAS a worthless outlaw BUT... there was nuance.
I suppose there always is.
