Argo



The suspense Thriller movie Argo is the true to life story of the CIA officer Tony Mendez. Tony Mendez was played By Ben Afflect. He is Hispanic but Maybe Ben Affleck have the belief that being Latino can be sexualy transmited because he dated J.Lo so he made Tony Mendez a white guy in the movie.

You can clearly see Tony Mendez have some Native American genes on him,


Well this movie is created before Hollywood became woke.

The Sound of Music

This 1960's movie is said to be the greatest musical of All time. It also kinda made the career of Julie Andrews.


The movie is about an Austrian Nun named Maria who worked as a governess and music teacher for the 7 children of Captain Von Trapp. The children loved Maria so they set her up to their dad so she will become their step mom. Everything seemed happy when suddenly Nazis attack so the family have to escape.

Maria Von Trapp and the Trapp family does exist.


The movie portray Maria as a very whimsical Manic Pixie girl but according to the Von Trapp kids, she is strict and she spanks them!! They also changed the name of the children. In fact one of the Captain's daughters is named Maria too. But yeah the movie changed the name of the captain's children. They also missed out on the creepy fact that Maria was only 18 when the Captain hired her. She is only 2 years older than one of his daughters. The movie make it seemed Maria and the Captain are the same age.

The movie also did not show the Von Trapp's life in America and that the Captain had his own children with her too.

Dangerous Minds



This movie made this song famous


The movie is about Louanne Johnson, She was a military women who decided to become a teacher of delinquent students and inspired them to graduate.

This is the real Louanne, she looks nothing like Michelle Pfeiffer.



On the movie one of her students died which adds drama on the movie. Well none of her students died in real life. The director just want to show the violence of cops against Latinos. All of her students graduated alive and have good careers.

Fresh off the boat

The American sitcom Fresh off the boat shows the life of Eddie Huang, a Taiwanese American boy during the 90's. The show is created to give 90's nostalgia to people who grew up in the 90's.


It is actually the biopic of the Chef and Youtube Eddie Huang.


The first season of the show is based on his memoirs but the seasons after the first season are all fictional. Eddie is also upset of this show because they turned his life into a sitcom because he was expecting this to be a drama. He also don't like that it became fully fictional in future seasons.

------------
The Netflix mini series Self made is the latest full of lies true to life movie show.

It is the true to life story of World's first female self made millionaire. Madam CJ walker.


She was the daughter of 2 slaves but she manages to become a Millionaire by making hair products.


So what are the lies of this movie?

Mrs. Walker's rival is Annie Malone.




In the movie they portray her as a colorist biracial woman who looks down on dark skinned black people. She only hires Mulattos as employees and she is a villainous egomaniac who tries to sabotage her.

Nope in real life, Annie was millionaire on her own right. She is not racist and she doesn't try to sabotage Madam CJ Walker. She is a hero on her home state of Illinois. You can imagine people of Illinois being mad that netflix is portraying their local hero as a C-word and B-word from hell.

Netflix also decided to portray Mrs. Walker's daughter as Lesbian just because she have three failed marriages for the sake of drama and being woke.

I really enjoyed reading this. This is the most awesome takeaway from your post.

The movie is about Louanne Johnson ... All of her students graduated alive and have good careers.

Good teachers are worth more than gold.

Argo is one of the best movies I ever watched. But in every movie you need to change something. This is why it is called movie. If everything is according to real story were not that be documentary?

Well its white washing which is not acceptable in the current woke era as white actors who get colored roles are tagged as racist.

Where do you see racism in this? Since they took Ben instead some Lation actor? In that case they should in movie The Sound of Music tape real kid beating and spanking and put it on TV.

[Netherrealmer]

Yup Latin actors only have 2 percent of roles in Hollywood and some white guy gets a role and took it away from a Latin actor. Well Angelina Jolie got it worst since she played a Black woman.

This is pre-woke era though.


and yes its a true to life story.

Most Asian, Black and Latino actors are now fighting for the roles meant for them. since 90% of roles still goes to White people.

[ptrikha21]

Indeed, some movies make real life folks appear so different on the screen. We had some movies based on the life of some people.
Some were realistic, others made the person look so different from the real life one.

[nela13]

We know that a great part of true stories adapted to a movie has some lies and usually the actors/actress are prettier than the real person about whom the movie is about.

The netflix show Blood and Water, is based on the story of Zephany and Cassidy Nurse. South African Sisters separated at Birth who became classmates. Zephany was kidnapped by a rich childless couple at the hospital and raised her as their daughter.



Cassidy remember her mom told her she have a missing older sister and noticed resemblance between her and Zephany. Cassidy made investigations and found out Zephany is indeed her missing sister.

The changes netflix made, The Nurse sisters are Biracial girls with Biracial parents, the Netflix show decided to go for Dark skinned Africans. They also made Zephany very slutty and sleeps around with her married swimming coach and made her super villainous to Cassidy so there will be some drama.

.......

That is quite a drastic change from reality! Well, sometimes the show makers take their imagination too far!

[mrki444]

You need to also consider audience. When somebody make movie he also target audience. Richer audience will bring more money. US have richer audience so they will adopt actors to US audience.

[Netherrealmer]

The real life Zephany Nurse did not bully her sister before she knew her sister nor had sexual affairs with her swim coach at school. I bet now some people believes she is that way.I don't know why she agrees with such portrayal.

[Angie10]

It's annoying how filmmakers do that and it happens A LOT!! They can never just take a story and portray it as is. They always tweak various aspects to make it 'more interesting'. They embellish and overexaggerate sections or even dumb down others, sometimes to the point where the original story gets lost. I guess they use real-life stories as inspiration and as long as they've bought the rights, there's no real crime committed other than the moral one.

Mary Kom is one of the world's best female boxers ever. She brings Honor to India so Bollywood made a movie about her. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is the actress they hired to play her.



Here is the issue though, Mary Kom is a North East Indian.Hey Both of them are Indian but obviously different ethnicities.


India is a diverse country of different ethnicities. North east Indians looks more similar to East Asians.


Bollywood is open to giving careers to Biracial women from the UK and White women. But I don't think there is a single ethnic Northeast Indian given a chance to have a career in all of Indian Cinema. Not in Kannada, Not in Tamil nor Malayalam Cinema. There are Bollywood actors from Northeast Indian but they dont look East Asian.

This would have been a chance to give a North East Indian an acting break.


Bollywood is willing to give Indian roles to a White British woman like Amy Jackson


but won't give acting roles to North East Indian people to play a North east Indian role.

Well at least they do well in modelling.

I know! I remember seeing this young British (white) lady in the news because she's become a huge Bollywood star! This was years ago. She learnt the dances and one of the languages, could sing and dance like the Indian performers. I remember wondering how she came to land the role, if there wasn't a local who could play the role. But I suppose it's like that everywhere because these days you see Brits playing Americans and vice versa. Sometimes it must come down to money.

I feel all "real life movies" or bigraphies are like bland dishes, you need to add some seasoning and what we call here in India - "Masala", mixed ground spice, to make the dish more palatable and appealing to our taste buds. Same principle is adopted by filmmakers.

Anyone who wonders why Mark Zuckerberg's wife is not in the Social network movie. His girlfriend in that movie is white.

Now I want to talk about the greatest showman. It is based on the life story of Barnum, the creator of the first circus.

In the movie he and his wife started the Circus as Newly weds but in real life they started the circus as elderly couple.



In the movie Beard Lady is an overweight woman with a golden voice.


In real life beard lady is a slender woman


In the movie Jennifer Lind is a villainous singer who tries to seduce Barnum.


The descendants of Jennifer Lind are offended because she never had affair with Barnum. He is an old man and their relationship is strictly professional. They just want a villain for the movie and the writer chose her.

K Drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo is based from the life story of a South Korean Gold medalist. They cast the second prettiest girl in Squid Game to play her.


This is the real life girl the drama is based from:


Obviously a strong woman wont have frail arms and slim figure. she will have a body of muscles.

[Hilda]

I have never watched any of the movies you mentioned above. I wonder where the movies are found since I usually love watching movies but I have never seen those.

At times, it is difficult for the filmmakers to stop at a point.
So either they tend to go into cultural/political correctness or into too much fiction.
The balance point is very rare.

[Netherrealmer]

Most of the time they go politically incorrect since they hire white actors to play POC people. Hollywood almost made a biopic of Harriet Tubman starring Julia Roberts.

Tubman was a former slave who escaped and helped many African Americans escape the States where slavery is legal.


LOL Hollywood Producers thinks Julia Roberts will be a good Harriet Tubman...


Thankfully it didn't happen and a Harriet Tubman movie with a Black actress happened instead.
