Can you give an example of something that is 'clipped based on true story'?

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.

Sure. Let's say there was a long - form book about a famous explorer's entire life journey. A documentary maker might clip that true story by only focusing on the explorer's most dangerous adventure in the Arctic. So they take that part of the true story and use it for their documentary.

One example could be 'The Imitation Game'. This movie is based on the true story of Alan Turing. The fx related to the code - breaking machines might have been clipped. The filmmakers wanted to convey the essence of Turing's work and the historical context. They didn't need to show overly elaborate and long - winded fx of the machines in action. Instead, they focused on Turing's character, his struggles, and how his work affected the outcome of World War II. By clipping some of the fx, they were able to better tell the true story behind the code - breaking efforts.

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 '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.

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.

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.

Not really. 'Clipped' is mostly fictional with elements of creativity and imagination added for entertainment purposes.
