2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
Films, which are based on events that once happened in reality, are able to interest the viewer and make him practically an eyewitness. True, not every director manages to convey the feelings of people who had a chance to survive serious trials or convey the atmosphere of that time. In our today's review - the most interesting films based on real events.
Schindler's list
Steven Spielberg's film was based on Thomas Keneally's novel Schindler's Ark, based on the memories of a Jewish man. The story of the German businessman Oskar Schindler, who saved 1,200 Jews, makes one admire the feat of a man who chose to save other people's lives as his destiny. At the same time, Steven Spielberg makes his viewer see and experience with the heroes all the horrors of the war in general and the Holocaust in particular.
«1+1»
The film by French filmmakers tells the story of a successful businessman Philip Pozzo di Borgo, who was paralyzed as a result of a paragliding crash in 1993. At the same time, the hero himself became the main consultant for the film and insisted that his story on the screen be embodied in the genre of comedy, not drama. The story of how a paralyzed disabled person and his black assistant with a criminal past were able to find a common language makes you empathize and at the same time laugh to tears.
The series "Signal"
The South Korean serial is a filmmaker's interpretation of the unsolved serial murders that took place in Hwaseong from 1986 to 1991. Here mysticism is intertwined with reality, and the exciting plot and great acting of the actors do not let go throughout the entire time the series is on. It is worth remembering that more than 21 thousand people were suspects in this case at different times, and the real killer of 10 women was never found.
Mind games
A free retelling of the life of American mathematician John Forbes Nash makes the viewer live with the scientist the path from fame to sinful fall, from genius to madness, and then to a return to normal life. Ron Howard made a film that teaches you not to give up and see perspectives even when it is impossible to understand where reality ends and madness begins.
TV movie "Adventure in space and time"
At one time, the series "Doctor Who" was a cult, and during its filming there were many difficult to explain, almost mystical events. In Adventures in Space and Time, director Terry McDonough and screenwriter Mark Gatiss tried to talk about how the cult series was created. The story seems to be no less exciting than Doctor Who itself.
Pianist
Roman Polanski made not just an autobiographical film about the life of the pianist Vladek Spielmann, but managed to show the whole tragedy of a person living in the era of the Holocaust. The horrors of war, fear of painful death and music as a path to salvation and a symbol of hope and life itself - all this makes the film a real masterpiece.
Awakening
The dramatic film by Penny Marshall tells about the events of 1969-1970, which were described in his memoirs by their direct participant Oliver Sachs, a neuropathologist. The story turned out to be quite difficult, but nevertheless life-affirming. Despite all the dramatic moments, the film becomes a true awakening for many. It makes you think, empathize and always believe in a happy salvation.
The series "Narco"
The history of the crimes of the Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar is based entirely on real events and, in fact, is a criminal chronicle in an artistic presentation. Here the documentary footage is harmoniously combined with the acting, and the atmosphere of criminal Colombia makes the viewer feel like a part of what is happening on the screen.
Balto
An animated film by Simon Wells tells the story of a sled dog who was able to actually deliver diphtheria serum to Nome, Alaska in 1925. And even though the cartoon least of all resembles reality, and the commercial success of Balto was very doubtful, it is worth remembering that a monument was erected to the real Balto in memory of the saved children's lives.
Green Book
The multi-award-winning, three-nominated Oscar-winning film is the 2018 Best Film of the Year, about a real journey made by renowned American pianist Don Shirley and actor Tony Lip, who served as the musician's driver and bodyguard at the time. This is the story of how seemingly innocent tour can change the life of two people.
In 2018, the British Air Force conducted a survey, during which it identified the 100 best films in a foreign language. Statistics showed that the first hundred included only 4 films, the creators of which are the fair sex. In November 2019, the BBC surveyed 368 film experts from 84 countries to find the best films from women filmmakers.
