Empire Online: Fiction is full of great writers with great ideas, dreaming up the most fantastical worlds where we can lose ourselves. But sometimes the best stories come from the real world. With a little exaggeration, artistic license, or 'reimagining', these things can be the premise of a bloody good film. After all, some people live remarkable lives, so why spend all that time dreaming up a scenario or character when you've got a good story right there? Here are some very different personalities that you might not know were real (or partly real), ranging from faithfully reconstructed biography to outright fantasy.
Mother of the Bride Review: This movie is an embarassingly silly and crigny watch with no soul or substance.
The Guardian Of The Monarchs Review: This documentary evokes a profound sense of sadness as it sheds light on the shortcomings of investigations and raises crucial concerns regarding the perils confronting environmental defenders.
Thank You Next Review: This is an engaging and introspective watch about modern dating and the depths of relationships.
Well, I knew about the one with Leo in it being based on an actual person. The movie had been done before called 'The Great Imposter'. Leo's was also done because it was based on an actual person's life and of course it wasn't done down to every detail but a lot of it was true.
Don't know much about the others though.
I didn't know about 50 First Dates!
