    Far removed from reality
    I find it interesting that Allan McGee has completely changed the narrative of his upbringing and early life. The large house he lived in was in a middle class area of Glasgow. His parents and family didn't speak rough Glaswegian (although in the film it appeared by their accents they were from Edinburgh!). No mention of the 6 week family holidays to California when he was a teenager?? Or the money his Dad loaned him to start Creation? The scene where his father was wearing Masonic regalia in the house ie out with a Masonic meeting, would never have happened. Let's just say the amount of artistic license used is nearly as big as Allan's over inflated ego. A megalomaniac in the right place at the right time. No more, no less. Judge for yourself the kind of person he is. I note they don't do go into much detail regarding the son he never acknowledged until the boy was a man. As for the actual film, much like the book, a jumpy, cobbled together tale of anecdotes to add to the self importance of Allan McGee. If you didn't know the Creation story you might think you were watching an Irvine Welch black comedy...
