Yes, I think it's worthwhile doing that to maintain some balance after seeing the film.
shareYeah... Isn't it sad to watch "biographical films" with great performances and all and then learn that a lot of it was twisted or invented, just for the sake of e.g. making a touching love story out of it?
Comparable for example to a film like "The Social Network", where Mark Zuckerberg had to say that they "got him all wrong - apart from his on-screen wardrobe" and that it "is almost entirely fictional". Sad if people watch a film like this and take it for the real thing. :(
