Paraphrase Practice

This passage is from the website called Reelviews on the movie Glory 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, In the movie Glory, a lot of work went into making sure that the history was correct. The main characters, Shaw and Frederick Douglass, actually existed in real life and the events and results in the movie happened almost exactly as they are shown by the director Zwick.
