Truth is stranger than fiction.
On a slightly related note, I'm rereading the Narnia books and they're awfully propagandist. Now, I recognise that propaganda has its place, but:
"Are -- are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.
"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason that you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me for a little here, you may know me better there."
Also, very interesting to contrast Hero (which I saw on the weekend) with the spate of American ingenuity movies coming out. Like I said, I think it has its place, and that place is under the miscroscope of the person watching it.
