It’s completely understandable why movies based on true stories, specifically biopics, are so popular, both with Hollywood and with audiences.
Of course, no biopic entirely survives adaptation, and so the story isn’t ever 100% true, but the basic story is usually there.
There’s something that just feels different when the drama that we’re seeing unfold actually happened.
It is, however, slightly disconcerting, because I’m afraid both of these films may fall victim to what I will call “The Bohemian Rhapsody Problem” and I think it’s a reason that movies like these should not be coming quite so soon.
