I recently watched Fargo. Great movie, although I was a little

Almost everything that says its a true story then wildly distorts the facts to make it a better movie/show/whatever

>>82555769
Yeah but Fargo isn't even remotely true. The entire story is fiction. Most other films that claim to be "true" usually have some factual basis, even if it's wildly distorted.

It's is based off the murder of Helle Crafts by her husband. Forensic Dukes has a great episode on it.

There are true stories, there are "Based on a true" stories and "inspired by a" true stories.

Watch for the terms.

Orson Welles does an amusing play on this in F for Fake

>>82555796

Tell me what difference there is in changed truth and made up truth.

>>82555822
Fargo isn't any of them. It's entirely fictitious.

>>82555798
It's not "based" on that at all. Helen Crafts was put in a woodchipper, that's the only similarity. There was no kidnapping, ransom, or related murders.

What is the actual difference between something "fictional" which is usually based on something that happened to the author in someone way or another, and something that is "fact" but has been fictionalized for tv/film?

There really isn't any. You could almost say the majority of art works out there are based on something truthful. Whether they state it or not.

>>82556085
Usually when a movie says "based on true events" it's based on something that actually happened, like Titanic, or Shindlers list. Fargo didn't happen, the opening tagline is a lie.

>>82556085
The movie is not based on a true story of influenced by one at all you fucking retard.
