The title of this article is: Using Popular Films to Enhance Classroom Learning
The research seems to indicate that when we watch historical films there's a tendency to take inaccuracies and misinformation as historical fact. Many students believe the historical points in Forrest Gump are true.
"Teachers should use popular history films with caution and should warn students about major
inaccuracies in the films."
