The real - life case it's based on. The fact that a family actually got those letters in real life makes it seem very factual.
The details in the story that match up with what we know about the real - life case. For instance, the location and the nature of the letters are similar to what the real family experienced. Also, the reactions of the family in the story are somewhat based on what could be expected in such a real - life situation, which gives it a sense of factuality.
There are several reasons why Ambrogio in the vampire story seems more like fiction than fact. Firstly, the nature of his existence as a vampire defies the laws of nature as we know them. Vampires are not recognized in the scientific community. Secondly, his story often involves elements that are typical of fictional vampire tales, such as a connection to the moon and strange powers. There is no real - world evidence to suggest that any being like Ambrogio has ever existed. His story seems to be a part of the long - standing tradition of creating fictional vampire characters to captivate the imagination of those interested in the supernatural. Vampire stories are a form of escapism, and Ambrogio is a fictional creation within that genre.
The Young Messiah seems more fictional because it has to fill in so many blanks. We know very little about Jesus' childhood from historical sources. So, when the movie shows detailed conversations and events, it's clearly fictional. However, it may seem like fact to some because it adheres to the overall religious narrative of Jesus' divinity. The creators use the religious framework to give it an air of authenticity, but it's still mostly fictional in terms of the specific plot points.
The fact that it is set in a historical period makes it seem like it could be based on fact. But the idea of a woman being able to hide her identity so well in the military for so long is more on the fictional side. Also, the lack of concrete historical records about a specific 'Mulan' points towards it being fictional.
It's based on a true story. There was a real - life case where a family received creepy letters from someone calling themselves 'The Watcher'. So it has a factual basis, but like many adaptations, some elements might be dramatized for the show or other forms of media.
The lack of evidence. There are no real historical documents that can prove the wild claims it makes. For example, the claim about a secret bloodline of Jesus has no basis in any reliable historical source.
It seems like fiction because of the overly dramatic and theatrical presentation. Real - life death situations are not presented in such a contrived way.
For it to be fact, we have the existence of genetically modified crops which are a result of genetic engineering. These crops are designed to have specific traits. However, the idea of 'frankenfood' as science fiction comes from the way some media and anti - GMO groups portray it. They create a picture of Frankenstein - like creations that will take over the world or cause massive health problems, which is far from the truth.
One factor that makes it seem like fact is the archaeological evidence. For instance, the discovery of ancient Hebrew inscriptions. However, some parts seem fictional because of the miraculous elements in their religious stories, like the parting of the Red Sea. These elements are often hard to prove scientifically.
Well, it seems like fiction. Consider that the historical consensus is that Hitler died in his bunker. 'Hunting Hitler' presents ideas that go against this well - established fact. There are no credible eyewitness accounts or physical evidence to back up its outlandish claims. It's more likely a fictional story made to attract viewers.
On one hand, 'Shantaram' seems like it could be fact because it has elements that are based on real places and cultures. The author's in - depth knowledge of Mumbai's underworld, its people, and its culture is evident. But on the other hand, the highly dramatized events and the almost superhuman abilities of the main character suggest that it is fiction. For instance, the main character gets involved in all sorts of dangerous and complex situations and always manages to come out on top in a rather unbelievable way, which is a common trait in fictional stories.
