Yes.
Hollywood has a way of increasing (exaggerating) or decreasing many historical events. Hollywood's job is to ENTERTAIN, so when they reflect a movie based on fact (or history) they have a tendency to tell an exaggerated view.

On Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 the stock market crashed. This really happened and it was important.
However, it was overrated. There was a long list of problems in the country which led to the Great Depression but this one made for a great story.
Conversations about farming, banking, or government are boring to many people but this was a story with heroes and villains, pathos and greed.

.History was mainly written by victors. The victor, his story is history.Then if you look at Asia you a Japanese version , a Korean version and a Chinese version about the same war.Each country or each people want to justify what happen .
Only the truth can be history and the rest is a story.

No!
Facts cannot be over rated. Facts are facts, however, people may attempt to put a different slant on them.

I think Reagan's presidency was overrated. I think people got swept up in his personality and gave him more credit than he actually deserved.
