[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 432118, member: 1387"] Rob, that's the thing about these bio movies. The more you actually know about the character, the less likely you are to enjoy the movie. I suppose part of the problem, is that the directors and producers are rushed for time to make the entire presentation fit into a 2 to 3 hour window. To do this, they mesh a lot of true content with fictional content. As usual, they usually feel the need to add the fictional content, in order to make the story or character more interesting. Oliver Stone did the same thing when he made The Doors. One scene in particular, where Morrison pulls out a kitchen knife, tells his girlfriend to kill him, then takes a duck off the table and proceeds to stomp it into the floor, actually never happened. For some reason, Stone felt it needed to be added to the movie, instead of simply sticking to the facts. The reality to it is, that most people who are interesting enough to make a movie about to begin with, rarely need fiction added to make a bio more interesting. Also, not defining specific characters, or sometimes meshing two people into one, keeps the producers from having to pay anyone any royalties. [/QUOTE]
