If you're gonna have a movie based on a historical character the least you can ask is that it be accurate.

Of course he is real person. I said in my last post word for word this :

He is a myth like many other real life people blown into a hero/icon.



Many people in history have been made bigger than they were in real life.

Plus its a western no one cares about historical accuracy. Also its a Historical Fiction. Havent you ever read Historical Fiction stories about real life person?
