** Logan continues to be a {{Jerkass}} after watching how the ''Senior Skip Day'' film glorified him, and angrily asks why Sammy would make him look that good. In real life, according to Spielberg's biographer Joseph [=McBridge=], the bully actually approached him "a changed person". He found the film ActuallyPrettyFunny and wished he'd gotten to know him better.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: While Sammy Fabelman's story is based on Steven Spielberg's own life, there are a few differences between them:
** While going to school in California, Sammy briefly dates a Christian girl named Monica, before ultimately breaking up with her near the end of the last day of school. Steven Spielberg himself never had a girlfriend during his teenage years.
** After meeting with Creator/JohnFord, Sammy is shown being grateful for the man's tough love attitude and the advice he gives him, happily walking into the sunrise to start his own film career. In real life, Spielberg admitted that he was actually ''traumatized'' by the meeting at the time, as he believed that he'd made a fool of himself in front of Ford due to misunderstanding him, not helped by him telling Spielberg to "get the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] out" of his office shortly after. It wouldn't be until years later that Spielberg realized what Ford's advice meant.
