If you tell a true story, will people always believe you?

Not necessarily. Even if it's a true story, some people might be skeptical. There could be various reasons for this. For example, if the story seems too extraordinary, or if the person telling the story has a reputation for exaggerating in the past. Also, people's own biases and beliefs can influence whether they believe a true story or not.

Not necessarily. Movies often take creative liberties to make the story more engaging or fit a certain runtime.

Not necessarily. True stories can have all kinds of endings, happy, sad, or somewhere in between.

It depends on the story. If it aligns with their beliefs and traditions, they might be more inclined to believe it. For example, a story about the ancient elven heroes or the spirits they revere could be readily accepted.

Yes. Some people, especially children, have vivid imaginations and are more likely to believe fairytales are true. They get so caught up in the magical worlds and characters that it seems real to them.

I don't really know. You could look for interviews or behind-the-scenes info to get a better idea. It could be inspired by real-life incidents but transformed for the big screen.

The cultural references make people think so. The story is set in a Middle Eastern context with elements like Arabian Nights - style settings, which were based on real Middle Eastern cultures. So, it seems to have some connection to real stories passed down in that region.

I'm not so sure. Fairytales are full of magic, talking animals, and impossible scenarios. However, if we consider them as metaphors for real - life experiences or emotions, then perhaps they can be considered 'true' in a sense. But if we take 'true' in the most literal sense, then no, fairytales are not true stories as they violate the laws of nature and common sense most of the time.

Hard to say. 'Believe' could be a true story, but it could also be a work of imagination. You might have to do some research or check the author's notes to be sure.

One way to tell is by looking at the setting. If it's in a fantastical world with no resemblance to our own, chances are it's make-believe. Another sign could be if the story follows no logical or real-world rules.
