That's right! Watching movies can be an effective method to learn and study history. There is an array of films and documentaries out there that accurately depict historical events. While educational, most historical films and documentaries are also very entertaining. Unfortunately, some films that depict historical events are not true to historical fact. "Schindler's List", which depicts the German-occupied Poland during World War II, offers a somewhat accurate historical portrayal. Unfortunately, the movie "Brave Heart", as moving and entertaining as it is, isn't historically accurate. If you're serious about learning history, make sure the movie you select is true to historical fact.
