Is 'Strictly Ballroom' based on a true story?

It shows the different categories in the ballroom competitions, like realness, vogue, etc. The elaborate costumes and makeup are also a big part of representing the ballroom culture accurately. The show also depicts the Houses, which were an important part of the community, and how they functioned.

Yes, to a large extent. But there are some creative tweaks to make it work better on the big screen.

Mostly, yes. Marvel movies draw inspiration from comics, but they also make tweaks for better cinematic presentation and to keep things fresh and engaging for viewers. Some characters' storylines might be condensed or slightly altered to fit the movie's runtime and narrative arc.

Perhaps the short story uses the ballroom as a symbol of a world of elegance and charm, where different classes of people come together. The romance might be complicated by social differences, such as a poor but charming dancer falling in love with a wealthy socialite. The ballroom setting then becomes a stage for exploring these themes of love, class, and social expectations.

Not all of them. Some anime take inspiration from manga but might make significant changes or additions to the story.

Most movies based on a true story don't strictly follow every single fact. They often make some changes for the sake of entertainment or to streamline the narrative. For example, in 'The Imitation Game', some events might be condensed or dialogue might be fictionalized to make the story more engaging. However, they usually stay true to the essence of the story.

Once upon a time in the ballroom, late at night, a faint figure could be seen dancing alone. It was the ghost of a long - dead debutante. She was said to have died of a broken heart when her lover left her on the night of a grand ball. People would sometimes hear the soft swishing of her dress as she twirled around the empty ballroom.

Well, ballrooms are usually large and dimly lit at times, especially in old mansions or historic buildings. The fact that they were once filled with people dancing and having a good time, and now might be empty most of the time, gives a sense of loss and abandonment. This emptiness can attract ghost stories. And the elegant architecture, like the high ceilings and ornate decorations, can seem almost otherworldly, as if it could be a place where spirits would linger.

The 'Ballroom Blitz' is often associated with a wild and energetic party scene. It might have originated from a real or fictional event filled with excitement and chaos.

Yes, it does. The story in Invincible closely adheres to the comics, keeping the key elements and plotlines intact.
