Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDistillation: The movie is BasedOnATrueStory somewhat, but completely ignores the biggest factor that brought the real life versions of Leo and Paige back together - their strong Christian faith. Many conservatives and evangelicals were miffed that this central tenet of the couple's relationship was replaced by a more secular interest in art.
