movies in general are made to entertain and needn't trouble themselves with historical accuracy or facts.... a good example of this, and a movie that impressed me a lot is Saul Zaentz's Amadeus....

in this scene, real life historical figure and viennese court composer in the times of Mozart, Antonio Salieri, is falsely portrayed as a lunatic in an asylum, confessing to murdering Mozart... even the producers of this movie admitted the plot is a fiction........ what's interesting in this scene, is that Salieri casts himself as a forgotten mediocrity and this is backed by a scene from one of his operas........ but even a layperson interested in opera music would be very impressed with the piece of Salieri's opera given -- the music is very similar to Mozart's and very beautiful.......
moving on...... arm wrestling against people on steroids......... never arm wrestle a person on steroids if you are not on steroids and expect to win
