Sure. A documentary about a war might mute the graphic details of certain battles because it's based on a true story and they don't want to be too disturbing for the general audience.
In a news report about a crime that was based on a true story. The media might mute the names of the minor victims involved. They are still reporting on the true story but choose to mute this aspect to protect the privacy of those involved. Also, in a film adaptation of a real - life love story, the filmmakers might mute some of the more scandalous parts of the relationship that actually happened in real life, so as to present a more palatable version of the story to the audience.
A memoir written by a person who had a difficult childhood. They might mute some of the more painful memories and emotions related to the true events in order to make the book more accessible and not overly depressing for readers. For example, instead of going into great detail about the abuse they suffered, they might just touch on it briefly.
One example is the TV series 'Narcos'. It was based on the true story of the drug lords in Colombia. The creators 'cracked' the story by focusing on different aspects of the drug trade, the characters involved like Pablo Escobar, and how the law enforcement agencies tried to bring them down. They combined real events, interviews, and historical research to create an engaging and somewhat fictionalized account for the viewers.
One example could be the story of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist. In 1990, thieves stole several valuable artworks from the museum in Boston. This real - life theft has inspired many fictional works, such as novels or movies that are 'stolen based on a true story'. They might add elements like a detective's personal struggle to solve the case, or the supposed motives of the thieves, while still basing the central event of the art theft on the real incident.
The movie 'Argo'. It's based on a true story of the CIA's rescue operation in Iran. However, the movie had to clip some parts of the real - life events to fit into a movie - length format. It focused on the main aspects of the rescue mission and the build - up to it, while skipping over some of the more minor details that were part of the true story.
There are also many biographical short films. For example, a short film about a famous athlete's journey. The full story of their life is filled with countless details, but the short film clips the most important and inspiring parts based on the true story of their life. It might focus on their early struggles, a major victory, and how they overcame difficulties, all while being based on the real events of their life.
The movie 'The Blind Side' is an example. It was created from scratch in the sense that it wasn't a remake or a continuation of an existing story. It was based on the true story of Michael Oher, a football player who overcame a difficult upbringing with the help of a family. The filmmakers started from the ground up to tell his story, developing the characters, the plot, and the overall look of the movie based on the real - life events.
Another example could be the book 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks'. It's split in terms of different aspects of Henrietta's life and the aftermath of her cells being used without her knowledge. It starts with her life story, then splits to cover the scientific research done with her cells and the ethical debates, all based on the true story.
Another example is 'Catch Me If You Can'. It's based on the true story of Frank Abagnale. In the movie, there are some really high - stakes and over - the - top chase scenes. Frank is shown to be extremely clever and always one step ahead of the law in a very theatrical way. Although the real - life events of Abagnale's con artist career were interesting, the movie amps up the drama and the cat - and - mouse aspect between him and the FBI agents in an 'over the top' fashion.
One example could be the movie 'The Blind Side'. It was based on a true story, but some aspects of the real - life family's more complex issues might have been muted to focus on the main heart - warming story of adoption and the football player's journey.
One example could be a documentary about the civil rights movement in the United States. It would be deeply related to black experiences and based on real historical events, which is very 'black af' in terms of its focus on the black struggle for equality.
A movie. Erry could be a filmmaker who takes real historical events, like the story of a famous explorer's journey. He then mixes different elements such as fictional characters interacting with the real - life events, different filming techniques to create a unique visual style, and perhaps mixes in some modern interpretations of the historical period. So it becomes a movie that is both based on a true story and has Erry's creative 'mix' in it.
