That's one specific example, and its still irrelevant to the question of whether events should be 'true' in movies. Maybe it is propaganda, or maybe Kathryn Bigelow just likes the action sequences. It's not as if one can't make a propaganda documentary. Triumph of the Will was a documentary. Does it show any kind of truth? Fictional films would be boring if they were honest attempts at capturing facts.
