If this is true, then these "Disney executives" have made a very adult decision on their part, because the spat and flame wars between Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood sounded to me to be rather juvenile'ish. No movie, ever, will be able to depict an accurate view of historical events - that's why it is a movie and NOT a documentary. But Clint Eastwood, in a rare display of losing his cool, should have simply said that it was his version of it, not a definitive historical account (regardless of whether there were or weren't any African-American involved in the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima), and left it at that. You just don't tell one of the more outspoken directors in the movie business to "shut your face".
But then again, it is easy for me to just sit back and tell these people what to do after the fact..... Still, I'm glad that Disney executives stepped in and stop this silliness.

Spike Lee is an idiot who needs to keep his mouth shut.
