In real life, Alan Turing created the machine together with Gordon Welchman, whom we didn’t see in the movie. And it was called the Bombe, not after Alan’s son Christopher.

The relationships between Stephen and Jane were a bit romanticized in the movie. For example, in the movie, their arguments about the existence of God are shown as intellectual debates, to the point when Stephen even agrees that there are some higher powers. Although, Jane in her memoir writes about these conversations as “personal, divisive, and hurtful” and Stephen’s atheism only intensified with time.

Producers of the movie even had to personally apologize to his relatives for such an offensive depiction.

First of all, you’ll never find any proves that there was a bear attack, as Glass have never spoke or wrote about it. Second of all, there are no proves that he had a Rawnee wife or a son, so the revenge theme is quite questionable. Also, historians say that after Glass found Fitzgerald and John Bridger, he just forgave them and forgot about this whole thing.

In the movie, there was a string of murders, kidnapping, and the wood chipper incident in Minnesota in 1987. And it says right in the opening card that it is a fact. Although, the Coen Brothers mistakenly linked it to T. Eugene Thompson crimes and after that just said that the story is a complete fiction.

“Phillips wasn’t the big leader like he is in the movie”, according to the sailors. He is not self-giving and responsible captain, who was ready to give up his life to save the crew. In fact, it was all Phillips’ fault, reckless behavior and inability to adhere to safety warnings. So, was he really a hero?

There is no proof that Mozart and Salieri had bad relationships or hated each other. The only letter from Mozart that mentions Salieri, says that on his way to a performance, Mozart will pick up Salieri and his wife. Which tells us that they were on good terms, at the very least.
