real life characters in film... how far real?

i just finished seeing domino...its ok..seems better approach toward something cinematic more than real..!

i can still recall monster ..a very honest adaptation of real life..

but are they always true to the story that much?

Under discussion:

Monster (2003)

Domino (2005)

Re: real life characters in film... how far real?

i just saw rescue dawn in the theaters last wk. and i wonder how much of the movie is truly real?It is the most realistic looking P.O.W., ,i have seen though and i put the documentary version of the film on my queue;it is called Little Dieter needs to Fly (1997).I will see how this compares to rescue dawn;they ared both made by the same director Werner Herzog.

How about another P.O.W movie called Faith of My Fathers (2005)based on the the biography of senator John Mccain P.O.W experience in vietnam; the movie was alright but recue dawn was better(more realistic looking).

How about all those movies based on serial killers or cult leaders;which was of them is closest to reality or contain more truths?I have heard a lot of good reviews for the movie

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer [20th Anniversary Special Edition].(1986) but i have never seen it

But i have seen:

Helter Skelter (2004) ,i have not seen versions made in earlier yrs.

Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones (1980) and a documentary version which seemed very close to what really happened called Jonestown: The Life and Death of
Peoples Temple(2006): I wonder , sometimes ,how dangerous it would be to film a movie like this?

i agree with your opinon ,both, about domino and monster
