I'm not entirely sure. It could be related to the local folklore and the mystery associated with Loch Sheil. Maybe it has something to do with events that happened around the loch in the past.
Well, perhaps the back story has to do with the loch's geographical features. The 'dark waters' could imply a certain depth or mystery. Maybe there were ancient tribes in the area who had their own stories about the loch that were eventually turned into this tune. It could also be related to the weather patterns around the loch, as stormy days might make the waters look even darker and more menacing, and these experiences were translated into music.
In some cases, the 'dark waters' back story could be steeped in superstition or local legends. People might believe that there are supernatural forces at work in those waters. For example, it could be said that a witch or an evil spirit resides in the deep of the dark waters. There are tales of people who ventured too close and were never seen again. These stories are passed down through generations, adding to the mystery and fear associated with the dark waters.
The history of the area around the dark waters is important. If there were old battles or massacres near it, that could be part of the back story. The bloodshed could have seeped into the water, giving it a sense of foreboding. Also, the people who used to live near the waters and their relationship with it, whether they worshipped it or feared it, all contribute to the back story.
Sort of. While the core of the story in Dark Waters has roots in real-life incidents, some elements might have been dramatized or fictionalized for cinematic effect.
Yes, it is a true story. The film 'Dark Waters' is centered around the real - world events related to DuPont's use of PFOA. Rob Bilott, in real life, spent years investigating DuPont's actions. His efforts were not only to expose the company's unethical behavior but also to fight for the rights of those affected by the contamination. This story of his fight against a large and powerful corporation is what the film is based on.
