The funniest part about it is that the guy who looked into it built a convincing case that everything Abagnale has ever claimed about himself is bullshit.

Which means the guy conned the entire world into believing he was a great conman, which probably still qualifies him as a great conman XD

Bohemian Rhapsody. Rearranged the events, did strange things with Freddie's sexuality and wholesale made up events for "drama". On top of that it's generally a pretty bad movie.

All musician biopics are the same movie. As engaging as listening to a greatest hits album by the artist. Ever since Walk Hard parodied the genre so excellently I honestly have a hard time taking them seriously. For example the Live Aid scene serving as a framing device in Bohemian Rhapsody felt way too much like “Dewey Cox gotta think about his whole life before he play a show”

Ok so the Elton John biopic... You're going to categorize that in the same way?

/Much superior to the queen movie in almost every way.

/If you say that's an inaccurate movie I believe Sir Elton John would disagree.

/Walk Hard is one of the best comedies ever. (Glad we have common ground there)

My kids spotted the issue with the Live Aid concert immediately: you can watch the real thing, which is objectively better.

bombsiteus t1_j2a10pp wrote

I saw the movie first and that got me turned on to Queen in general. I started listening to all their albums and live performances. And I think that's why I'm defending this movie so much because it made me appreciate the actual artist so much more.

I mean I'll be honest if I'd seen that concert first I don't think I'd be impressed.

And I know I'm not going to win this argument online haha but oh well

Gumwars t1_j2a26bc wrote

I can't knock that. Queen is awesome and my age, to a degree, is showing. I was born in the 70s and grew up with music like this. When I had kids, I made sure to raise them on the classics so that by the time this movie came out, they were already fans.

I totally get why you'd be defensive about something that turned you on to great stuff like this.

Didn't know this - what were the primary inaccuracies regarding Turing?

yoaver OP t1_j29vd03 wrote

Everything:

  • Turing wasn't autistic, nor was he insufferable. He was reportedly very well liked among his peers.
  • The film majorly downplayed Turing being gay and his gay relationships
  • All the drama in the enigma team never happened
  • The thing with the not reporting the ship is not a call researchers are in position to make in the first place
  • The movie focused a lot on Keira Knightley's character despite the real person not being that close to Turing
  • The "breakthroughs" in research shown in the film of looking for patterns in coded messages is the very basis of code cracking, they dumbed it down because they thought audiences were too dumb for the actual breakthroughs.
  • They downplayed the horrors he suffered through the end of his life

The funniest innaccuracy is when they only think of the central purpose behind their machine after they've already built it and it doesn't "work".

This probably barely qualifies, but “30 Minutes Or Less” was very clearly inspired by the true case of a pizza delivery driver forced to rob a bank with a bomb strapped to his neck but fudges the story quite a bit to make it into a comedy.

I believe you'd enjoy History Buffs over on yt. They review historical accounting in any film based on true events.

From what I remember, Braveheart and The Patriot are both pretty bad.

Apollo 13 screwed up how dramatized the problem solving was. They'd had everything figured out beforehand for a scenario like they experienced, and executed the playbook.

BOSZ83 t1_j29w7mp wrote

One of Chris Hadfield's books basically explains that an astronauts job is to figure out what could go wrong then figure out how to fix that thing, then memorize all of the things so when it happens you can fix it immediately without hesitation. So yeah, it's no surprise NASA had Apollo 13's issues in the playbook.

I don't think the movie every actually says that it's based on a true story, but The Greatest Showman portrays a very different P.T.

All this thread is showing me is that...real life stories don't make compelling movies or shows. Some of the ones coming up a lot here are Cinderella man, a beautiful mind, Catch me if you can, Fargo and Imitation Game. I know for some history buffs the true story in and of itself would make an amazing story you would love to see on screen. You have to realize movies are made to make money. I fucking loved Catch me if you Can. When I found out the real story, I instantly could care less. I wouldn't watch a movie based on the real story, most people wouldn't.

Yeah but they keep adapting the people who had compelling stories. More compelling than their movies. Alan Turing's story happened during World War II. There was plenty of actual drama to go around. They didn't have to make it a soap opera.

National-Leopard6939 t1_j29wg9g wrote

This is one of my favorite movies, but there were so many ways the true story was altered to where it almost hurts: David Lynch’s The Elephant Man (1980).

For one, the real man’s name was Joseph Merrick, not John Merrick. Second, he was never forcibly entered into the freak show against his will and abused by his manager. In actuality, Merrick sought out a job in the freak show himself after being unsuccessful at other jobs + HATED the workhouse. He had a very good relationship with his manager (who was named Tom Norman irl, not “Bytes”). Apparently, he made a pretty hefty amount of money doing freak shows.

The film never went into his childhood and gave a false impression that he felt like a disappointment to his mother. In actuality, he and his mother were very close (she was the only person he was really close to besides Mr. Treves and Norman). She was handicapped and died at a young age. Merrick also had siblings who were sickly (but not grossly disfigured as Merrick was) who died at young ages. His father was the abusive one, along with his stepmother.

He wasn’t kidnapped by his manager after Treves housed him in the London Hospital. Merrick himself sought out a new manager after freak shows were starting to become culturally taboo (and illegal), and he felt like that was the only place he could generate some kind of income. So, he got the new manager and they moved him over to Belgium. THAT new manager wasn’t as good as Norman, and ended up stealing Merrick’s earnings. That’s when Merrick sought out going back to Treves (he had a card in his pocket after a prior meeting), and they sent him to the London Hospital where he’d eventually live out his final days.

He also never met Madge Kendall irl. They only communicated with letters.

The paper church he built wasn’t some artistic masterpiece he designed completely by himself, as depicted in the film. It was one of those pre-made paper models that you could assemble.

Part of me would like for there to be another adaptation that represents the REAL true story of what happened to Merrick, but the other part of me thinks no one could do that role justice besides John Hurt.

JanncorLennox t1_j29xprd wrote

The crew's dynamic in the disaster was slightly exaggerated for dramatic effect. In the movie there's a strange tension between Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon which culminates into a shouting match trying with them at each other's throats. In real life they were completely calm and cool as cucumbers focusing on the task in hand and troubleshooting their dilemma.

Other than that small element, I actually admired the historical accuracy of this movie. The command module and lunar module were exact replicas of the real thing down to the actual switches and knobs and they accurately corresponded to the real "button presses" in several scenes when they are stirring their O2 tanks and resetting electrical transfer busses.

It was some bullshit about how “government scientist flight simulations” said that Sully could have landed the plane safely and he had to defend himself in front of the FAA or something. It was nonsense.

I think people don't realize that "based on a true story/real life events" doesn't mean "we're trying to depict the story and all events surrounding it the way it totally happened". "Based on a true story/inspired by real events" generally means they take one aspect of some true event or a small portion of the story and then fill in around it with story that makes people more interested. And that makes it into an actual feature length film. Otherwise most of them would be people living regular life and then a singular but dramatic thing happening. You can't make an interesting 1.5-2 hour movie out of that most times. They also like to build up plot to make it more interesting because-surprise surprise- that's what makes money.

However, Alan Turing is widely regarded as being on the spectrum and so is Jobs. There are lots of reasons why they weren't diagnosed as such but the fact that you're trying to cancel that part of them out is odd to me.
