Debate｜Should Biopics That Lie Be Called Out?

Let’s be real—most of us watch biopics to learn something about a person or a major event. Even if it’s dramatized a bit, we still assume the core story is true, right? But what if it’s not? Take Hotel Rwanda. It made Paul Rusesabagina look like Africa’s Schindler—a hero who saved lives during genocide. But later, survivors accused him of extortion, and he was even sentenced for terrorism-related charges (later released). Turns out, many people in that hotel were hostages caught in political negotiation—not saved because of his bravery. So… If a “true story” movie twists facts that much, does it still deserve to be called a biopic? And if the audience only felt moved because they were misled—is that emotion even real? Have you seen any other “based on true events” films that turned out to be totally off? Drop the names 👇 #Entertainment #movie #filmdebate #biopic #historyvsdrama #HotelRwanda #moviethoughts
