Pistone, AKA Donnie Brasco, was an FBI agent who went undercover as Donnie Brasco to bring down tje o Crime Family. Pistone was responsible for over 1000 hundred arrests. The movie was based on a real story that took place during the 1970's-80's.
Hilliard talks about accuracy and says, "Write so that the viewer cannot possibly misunderstand. Even an unintentional careless o vague comment can destroy the storybecause they are incomplete or out of context , can give the audience false impressions or incorrect assumptions concernging a given issue, person, or event, Make certain that terminology is used correct."

Josdeph D. Pistone must spend everyday looking over his shoulder to make sure he isn't wacked by a wiseguy for breaking the code. But, in order to make any movie that is based on a true event, it has to be as authentic as possible. Aot of research needs to be done to write a correct script.Due to some legal issues certain names and places and things alone those lives cann not be given p for safety reasons.
