Biggest Changes They Made To True Stories

While there are a number of big name movies that are based on a true story, some are less true than others, and happen to embellish or exaggerate a few historical details to make for great Hollywood drama. Whether it be making an antagonist when there is none, making a real life person something they’re not, or just a filmmaker creating up their very own version of history entirely, just because it says it’s based on a true story, doesn’t mean it is actually true.

In this video we are going to take a look at 15 of these so called ‘True Story’ movies and take a look at some of the biggest changes they made to the actual history and real life events/people that inspired them. From Wolf of Wall Street exaggerating some of the wild stories that we see, Tick Tick…Boom and The Social Network making up some characters for the story, A Beautiful Mind and The Pursuit of Happyness making their characters seem to be a lot more polished than they actually were, Braveheart completely making up it’s own history that is terribly inaccurate, to one movie being almost offensively false. These are some of the biggest changes made by so called true stories.
