Paraphrase Practice

The passage is from the website called Reelviews on the movie Glory, written by James Berardinelli. This is the excerpt from the article in Reelviews, "The historical backdrop against which Glory transpires is mostly historically accurate. In fact, a great deal of effort went into getting the details correct. The main events shown in the film happened much as they are depicted, some of the key characters (Shaw, Frederick Douglas, etc.) existed, and the outcome was as Zwick presents it."  


This is my paraphrase, most of the movie Glory was historically correct especially with the historical background. A lot of the work from the movie was for getting all the exact work and details correct so it could be accurate. All of the main characters, like Shaw, Frederick Douglass, and more all actually appeared during this time and during these key events. The results from the movie actually happened, which was shown by the director, Zwick.
