The Cat's Meow - 03/01/07: Inconvenient Truths
Movies recognize four standards of truth.
- An inspired by a true story movie is based on a statement the movie-makers believe to be true, but has no other relationship to real events.
- A based on a true story movie tells the story of real people, but the events portrayed are not necessarily true.
- A docudrama is based on real people and events, but some changes are made for the sake of dramatic impact and time constraints.
- A documentary is based on a statement the movie-makers believe to be true, but has no other relationship to real events.
Respectfully submitted,
Ferdinand T. Cat
