Are movies that are filmed in/about your town accurate?

I'm from Texas, born & raised and every movie that i have seen has this cliche persona of people who only ride horses and wear huge cowboy hats.

Like the Texas accent in the movie Jason's Lyric was laughable 😂 we do not sound like that.

My Own Private Idaho was pretty accurate for its theme in Portland.

@AngelUnforgiven The director wanted me to be an extra street kid when he saw me eating my lunch when they were filming the elk statue scene at the beginning, long hair, scruffy cheap thrift store trench coat, scruff on my face. I declined hecause I already had a job in a DownTown office mail room. I have the dvd, an awesome movie.
