Is it just me or are there an increasing amount of movies with this tagline beneath the title?
Like it justifies a movie. And most of these only have the barest semblance of being anywhere near what actually happened.
I was reading something recently about what hollywood insiders have termed as "Lie-ography" films such as A Perfect Mind. Films which have a spark of an idea in truth then the rest is simply made up. People in Hollywood are getting increasingly lazy with endless remakes (or re-imaginings) and so called "Based On A True Story" films.
Off the top of my head at the cinema (I live in the UK) we currently have
From Hell
Iris
Black Hawk Down
A Perfect Mind
and upcoming we have
Ali
We Were Soldiers
Mothman Prophecies
Whatever happened to original ideas?
