Movies Based on "True Events" That Ended Up Being Lies (Trendymatter.com)

"A much bigger audience is drawn to the idea of watching a film that's based on a true story. They feel it is something they can readily relate to, and they're excited to learn about history in a fun way. Knowing that the events that transpire in the narrative are real makes audience members feel that such things could happen to them too. This raises the level of interest in seeing such films. Unlike fictional movies, the general assumption is that none of the scenes were invented or falsified. The story as a whole may be intact, still true to a point, but many of these films have been altered for dramatization purposes. The filmmakers are lying, in a way, by creating Hollywoodized plots that appeal to our thirst for drama, intrigue, and neatly tied up stories. Let's take a look at some of the worst offenders." - trendymatter.com
