Lately I have seen a couple of biopics, which obviously are based on real people and events. I saw the TLC story last week (review will be up later this week) and recently also The Butler, jOBS, Zero Dark Thirty and Fruitvale Station. These movies try to stick to the facts, but if you do a quick Google after having seen the movie you quickly realise that some facts are missing or completely changed. It can diminish your appreciation of a movie, but on the other hand a movie has to be kept interesting to the viewer.
I’m interested in your thoughts on the subject:
Do you think biopics are woth watching and how closely should they adhere to real life?
