Very Loosely Based on a True Story	comment	The truth is a funny thing. It's slippery, it's not always self-evident, it can seem implausible, it can even be inconvenient, and more often than not it's just plain boring. Very Loosely Based on a True Story occurs when a writer decides that reality just doesn't pack enough punch in some way, and decides to improve on the historical record. Arguably, this has actually saved some, er... true stories. For example, The Patriot (2000) would have been two and a half hours of a group of Minute Men hiding for hours in swamps sniping English troops and then running away had they kept it true to the historical events of the time. Doesn't exactly sound riveting, does it? This isn't always a bad thing; after all, having the Von Trapps climb a mountain to freedom was much more uplifting to Cold War audiences than sticking them on a train to Italy would have been. The problem comes when writers go too far and take all semblance of reality out of a character they claim to have based on a real individual. It can leave knowledgeable members of the audience wondering if the writers only claimed to have based the story on a real event to attract fans, and it can leave less knowledgeable members thinking they know more than they really do about the past. Very Loosely Based On A True Story often occurs because of Executive Meddling, especially if some of the characters are based on living persons who might sue them if the depiction is too unsympathetic. Another motive is making characters less three-dimensional so as not to confuse viewers: producers may think Viewers Are Morons who simply won't accept, say, a socialist/atheist/gay/etc. hero, or a villain who loves his spouse or pets his dog. In other cases, the facts of real historical incidents will be changed because they don't fit into Hollywood History or because the truth would be inconvenient, as when cowboys in old Westerns were all played by white actors when many real cowboys were black, Hispanic or American Indian. This is a common enough phenomenon in books and movies based on supposed paranormal events that this prologue was originally only about movies based on paranormal stories. Paranormals often have to be exaggerated because the original narratives (especially supposed "eyewitness" accounts) tend not to be very plausible or exciting, especially to anyone with a grain of common sense. So filmmakers and writers edit the story to make it seem more dramatic, authentic, or in tune with society's (or the writers') beliefs about religion, the supernatural, and UFOs. They may even claim it really happened if they think that'll scare the viewers more. There are two parts to this, stories with the actual names of the individuals involved and stories where everything except the general story is fictionalized (with considerable overlap). This entire point can be lost on viewers. In particular, it is common for viewers outside of the United States to accept without question any depiction of the events in the United States in the popular entertainment media. This is why, for example, so many viewers outside of the United States praised Remember the Titans as unflinchingly accurate, when it was anything but. If a film or book says it's Inspired byâ€¦, it's a sign that it'll be nowhere near the actual true story. If the resulting product is based on more than one real-life story, it's Patched Together from the Headlines. See also Skepticism Failure, Documentary of Lies, Inspired byâ€¦, Suggested by..., Beethoven Was an Alien Spy. Anything based on Urban Legends overlaps with this trope pretty heavily. Compare Roman Ã Clef, which is tightly based on a true story, and Biopic. Not to be confused with Based on a Great Big Lie. While it's sometimes hard to tell the difference, and there is usually overlap, this trope indicates that the central event/s actually happened but have been dressed up with fictional elements for the sake of telling a better story, whereas in the other trope the "central events" are fictional too.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_12248d1b	comment	Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Author Hunter S. Thompson called the book a failed attempt at Gonzo Journalism, because of the liberties he had to take to make it even slightly readable. There's some time compression and a lot of background stuff missing. For instance, the main reason that Thompson and Oscar Zeta Acosta (the person whom the character "Dr. Gonzo" was based on) went to Las Vegas in the first place was to discuss the incidents that eventually formed the substance of Thompson's essay "Strange Rumblings in Aztlan;" they needed to get out of Los Angeles because Acosta was a big-time civil rights attorney and his bodyguards were very zealous and very suspicious of gringos, even ones like Thompson who were sympathetic to the Chicano cause. The biggest change to the plot is that in real life the Mint 400 race and the drug conference took place on two separate trips, about a month apart; in the book and movie, they happen on two consecutive weekends.

In this book, the battle is between a small Christian rear-guard and a massive army of Saracen Muslims, takes place in Spain, and ends with the entire Saracen army destroyed by the main body of the army. Really, the story only resembles the historical event inasmuch as Charlemagne's rear-guard was destroyed.

According to author's notes at the end of the manga, though, most of what's known about said story was likely heavily exaggerated to begin with. The fantasy elements and historical inaccuracies are what really earn the "loosely".

The specific events described in the book are all fictional, to make the story from the gorilla's point of view less lonely and to give him more agency, such as Saving The World Through Art (or, well, getting publicity for doing so). Presumably the real Ivan was unable to converse with other animals too.

His other productions, including Adam-12 also included the disclaimer that everything was based on true events, which is a trifle funny when the episode revolved around Jim's inability to tell jokes or Friday and Gannon's weekend sleepover. The 1987 comedy movie version of Dragnet parodies this with its opening announcement: Comedy recording "St. George and the Dragonet" used a similar parody:

There's a throwaway reference in the Doctor Who New Adventures novel Lucifer Rising to a holodrama based on "The Seeds of Death" which is only recognisable by the character names, awash with Adaptational Attractiveness and Token Romance. The short story "Scientific Advisior" has the Doctor get involved with a film based on "The Invasion" at UNIT's behest, to ensure it's inaccurate (including convincing the studio that no-one knows what the Cybermen were called, so they become the Zexians). In the short story "Doctor Who and the Adaptation of Death" a screenwriter gets put on trial by aliens with an obsession with the truth, for essentially turning one of their greatest thinkers, who sacrificed himself to save humanity, into Jar-Jar Binks. The one thing all the above have in common? They don't mention the Doctor at all.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_2f92f79b	comment	Richard III was the last Plantagenet, who lost the Wars of the Roses to Elizabeth I's Tudors (which is why they are invariably the heroes to Plantagenet villains in the historical plays). What little paperwork remains from his reign suggests he was a reasonable, competent type with a reputation for bravery justified by his death in battle — the last English monarch to do so, as it happens. This impression is at odds with that of the ruthless near-sociopath who murdered several of his 'allies', his wife, brother and two of his cousins and wished to marry a third to secure his succession. Also, Richard is typically portrayed as being old and severely deformed (Laurence Olivier, here's to lookin' at you) — though he died at 32 with at most a minor deformity of one shoulder — so minor that there is disagreement as to which shoulder it was. (And it could have been due to overtraining — Richard's favorite weapon was the axe, which can't be as easily switched from one side to the other as a sword can.) Now that they've found the body we know that he did in fact have worsening scoliosis, he didn't live nearly long enough to become a hunchback. Discussed here by Horrible Histories.

He hasn't been able to contact anyone who has ever heard of the film. The irony, according to him, is that what's real and what's not doesn't matter in the end since the consequences are the same. In a slightly more specific case, Johnny recounts a period of time where he lived with a doctor friend and his wife, and started going on medication, and generally getting his life back together. The chapter ends with him telling the reader he was making it up completely, and laughing at the reader for believing it.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_48ed41c8	comment	Pocahontas deserves special mention here: the movie is the first Disney animated story that is claimed to be "based on a true story", and by that of course, that Colonial Virginia had talking trees, magical Native Americans, numerous cliffs and nature scenes that are nowhere to be found in coastal Virginia and to beat a language barrier, one only needs to "listen with their heart". The creators made a point of doing the research — to the point of including detailed cultural advice from Russell Means (Lakhota) and Irene Bedard (Inupiat) — and then ignoring it in order to make the story seem more of a legend, so to speak. (And that's not even touching on other inaccuracies, such as the ages of Pocahontas and John Smith, and whether Smith made up the story of Pocahontas saving him from execution.) Russ Means did say some of the magical elements are consistent with Native spiritual beliefs. Also notable is that the film ends on a bittersweet but ultimately hopeful note, suggesting that the heroes' actions will ensure that the native people and the Europeans will live in harmony. The less we say about what happened in real life, the better.

All the onscreen characters are fictional, including the camp commandant and chief of security, but many share similarities with real-life counterparts. Some are composites of real POWs. The plots and character drama are likewise invented, except for the escape attempts, which are all based on real attempts. To preserve the drama, the results of escape attempts are occasionally changed too — a real-life successful method was no guarantee of success in the series.

The fact that the RMS Titanic incident is even referred to as a legend is the least of these two films' problems. The first film actually has the audacity to have everyone survive the shipwreck, resulting in a rare negative instance of Happily Ever After. And that's not even going into the subplots involving whaling, evil sharks teaming up with a whale-hunter to plan the shipwreck of the Titanic, talking dolphins, and a baby-faced octopus. (The last of whom being duped by the villains into placing the iceberg in the Titanic's way in the first place.) The second film drops any sense of relation to the actual incident left and brings Atlantis into the mess.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_5d79a99f	comment	Eon has an in-universe example when it comes to Dwarven historic writings: Dwarves make a strong distinction between Chronicle and History. A Chronicle is a piece of historic fiction, intended to glorify the participants in a particular event, whereas a History is a bare-bones account of the facts surrounding a place or an event, and there are often both Histories and Chronicles describing the same events. For example, the Kharzim Chronicle stated that Kharzim drove back a Tirak horde so large that "grass no longer grew where it marched" from the gates of Hazr at the cost of his own life. The History of Hazr describes the same event as follows: "Skirmish with Tiraks at Hazr, Kharzim and 68 others dead. Enemy dead uncounted, but number does not exceed 200. Supplies running low, negotiations with humans concerning construction of trading post at Hazr in progress." The fun begins when well-meaning but clueless scholars from other cultures start taking Chronicles at face value.

In addition, the film's entire romantic subplot, down to the character of Naoko herself, is entirely fictional, with no corresponding scenario in real life. note Hori wrote a novel based on his fiancÃ©e dying from TB but itâ€™s mostly just an inspiration for the general plot of this movie. The part based on Miyazakiâ€™s father is that he was an aeronautical engineer in that era and his wife did have TB. However Mrs. Miyazaki was eventually cured and lived to her early seventies. Jiro was married but his wife was a perfectly healthy woman with whom he had six children, she never had tuberculosis and didnâ€™t die young.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_9dfa8216	comment	Law & Order bases most of their stories on (or off — often way off) real cases and incidents. In order to be able to deny that they're referencing a certain real person, they may insert a remark to show that the real person also exists in the fictional world. For example, in one episode that featured Ann Coulter, one character remarks that she "makes Ann Coulter look like a socialist" or some such remark. There was also an episode where a little boy apparently got sodomized by a rich pale white guy who donates a lot of money to charity, and whose parents deny anything because apparently they were paid off. Sounds familiar? Debatable though... The episode where a husband's fight to remove the feeding tube from his comatose wife leads to his murder was similar to the Terri Schiavo case. Needless to say, the people fighting to keep the wife alive are the killers. One episode of SVU combined two current events into one story, with the first half referencing a pregnancy pact, and the second half based off the story of a teen who apparently committed suicide after her online boyfriend dumped her and humiliated her. It turned out that the boyfriend didn't exist, and the cyberbully was actually the mother of the girl's friend (the friend had experienced a falling out with the girl), who created the boyfriend to find out what the girl was saying about her daughter. The account ended up falling into the hands of other people close to the woman. These examples are interesting inversions, because they are often closer than the truth than other works that are purported to be "based on true events," but they are always very careful to let us know that it has nothing to do with Real Life events.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_a481d45e	comment	Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor features an In-Universe example, a biopic retelling of the events of the movies that bears so little resemblance to reality it somehow warps past being offensive into side-splitting hilarity. Amongst other things, Emperor Palpatine is a kind and noble leader manipulated by evil underlings, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are two different people, Anakin dies trying to save Jedi Younglings (the same ones he himself killed in Revenge of the Sith), and Luke is Palpatine's chosen heir who avenges his death after the treacherous Vader betrays and murders Palpatine to claim the throne. Needless to say, the real Luke is deeply embarrassed when he learns about this movie. And his opinion only gets worse when it turns out the movie is actually a Propaganda Piece covertly made by Cronal to get the public acclimated to the idea of Luke becoming the new Emperor... because Cronal is plotting to possess Luke's body and impersonate him to do exactly that. The book also mentions that there's an entire genre of these, though usually created by people whose motives are no more sinister than making a quick buck. The framing device is Luke hiring an investigator to write a report on the incident only to find that he instead writes yet another holodrama script. Luke grits his teeth and insists on rewrites for accuracy, possibly resulting in the actual book the audience has just read.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_a5b2a1f7	comment	The Crucible by Arthur Miller, which is based on the Salem Witch Trials. While some of the broad strokes are true (specifically, the identities of those who died, as well as the accusers), a lot of the details are not. The play portrays an affair between Abigail Williams and John Proctor as the motivating factor behind Abigail accusing Proctor of witchcraft. There's no historical evidence that the pair even knew each other before Abigail made the accusation. What's more, the real Abigail Williams was no more than twelve years old, while the real John Proctor was about sixty, making an affair even less likely (even apart from the unlikelihood of a preteen girl being interested in a sixty-year-old man, a girl that young wouldn't have been allowed to have regular contact with an unrelated adult man and certainly not in any kind of private setting); Miller himself admitted that he changed the characters' ages, raising Abigail's age to seventeen while lowering Proctor's to somewhere in his thirties, in order to make the affair seem plausible, which is even more reason to think that the affair was complete artistic license. While Deputy Governor Thomas Danforth was a real person, the Danforth character bears almost no resemblance to his real life counterpart. The real Danforth was extremely skeptical of the accusations and critical of the trials as a whole, and ultimately had a hand in the process being brought to a halt when it did. Many people believe that the fictional Danforth is actually based on a completely different historical figure, Magistrate William Stoughton. In the play, Thomas Putnam is a greedy and conniving man who uses the accusations to increase his own fortune, while his wife Ann is susceptible to the claims because she has lost all but one of her children and witchcraft gives her something to blame. In reality, while some historians believe that a feud between the Putnams and another family may have played a role in their daughter's accusations, there is no historical evidence to suggest a scheme of anywhere near the magnitude of what the play attributes to Thomas. As for Ann, her heartbreaking loss is at least severely exaggerated; of the Putnams' twelve children, ten outlived their parents. (This was at a time when child mortality rates were greater than 10%, so the two losses, while tragic, would be well within the bounds of what was normal and would consequently be seen as part of the natural course of the world, not something so exceptional as to suggest supernatural forces were at work.) In a more minor example, the Putnams' daughter is referred to in the play as Ruth, while the Putnam daughter at the center of the Trials was Ann Putnam Jr. Justified because calling the daughter Ann could lead to the character being confused with her mother. Ann Putnam Jr. was also a major player in the Trials, with some historians even believing that she was the one who started it (although probably with less deliberate malice than what the play attributes to Abigail). In the play, her counterpart Ruth is such a minor player that she doesn't even appear in person, but is only mentioned. The play ends with Abigail Williams running off with Mercy Lewis after stealing her uncle's fortune; the epilogue notes that, "The legend has it that Abigail turned up later as a prostitute in Boston." In reality, this is at most an unconfirmed rumor: nobody actually knows what happened to Abigail, who disappears from all historical records after the end of the Trials. Mercy Lewis did move to Boston after the trials ended, but it was to live with a relative; there's no indication that her departure was abrupt or secretive the way the fictional character's was, nor is there any reason to think that Abigail went with her.

Said conflict happened about four hundred years prior, and that period also saw the collapse of the Mycenaean Greek civilization and a lengthy Dark Age, with any stories being carried on through oral tradition; consequently, most scholars agree that it's a miracle the poem bears any resemblance to real events. Even aside from the many supernatural happenings, there's a lot of outright errors in Homer's account in how Mycenaean society seems to have functioned.

While there are things taken from life, they are put together into an all-around fictional whole. Two of the stories that are among those most true to life are the Grandmother's backstory about how she went to join her boyfriend in Kladsko and married him after he had been recruited as a soldier, and the story of the madwoman Viktorka, which was based on that of a local character. However, the lovers Kristla and Jakub "MÃla" are inspired by real people who were not in a relationship. As for the way the Grandmother's family is portrayed, this is essentially Wish-Fulfillment. While the author portrays the Grandmother as bringing harmony to the family and even to the whole community and living out her life in peace in the country cottage occupied by her daughter's family, in real life, the family lived in a flat and the author's grandmother, Marie Magdalena NovotnÃ¡, only stayed for some time (or only made visits). There were issues between her and her daughter and she ended up leaving for Vienna, where she lived with her daughter Johana and eventually died.

To much confusion as to whether Himuro Mansion was real or not. There was a debate going on about it for awhile until it was revealed the inspiration for the setting of the game was in fact many places and Himuro Mansion did not, in fact, exist for real.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_d45ec5e7	comment	Inherit the Wind heavily fictionalizes the real-life Scopes Trial, which in truth was a simple misdemeanor charge played up by the town of Dayton, TN as a publicity stunt. John Scopes was not arrested in his classroom, he was never sent to jail, the fine levied against him was tossed out by the judge (after prosecutor William Jennings Bryan offered to pay it himself), and the prosecutor was not dramatically struck dead at the reading of the verdict. The play's preface states that the work is based on but but does not accurately reflect historical events. The film adaptations, on the other hand, do not, leading many to mistakenly believe the events portrayed in the story are what actually happened.

It's also revealed late in the game that Tsuchida and Kuroe were present at the Luxor Massacre, with Tsuchida's own daughter among the casualties.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_df770e4b	comment	Enemy at the Door is set during the German occupation of the Channel Islands in World War II, but the series is more about exploring the dramatic possibilities of the situation than re-enacting history. All the characters who appear on-screen are fictional, including those prominent enough to have appeared in the historical record; for instance, the major in charge of the occupying forces, though he shares some similarities with his real-life counterpart, is basically an invented character with an invented name. The plots are likewise invented. Some of the scenes in the first episode depicting the arrival of the Germans are based on actual events, but even those take full advantage of dramatic license.

In fact, Rasputin (quite undeservedly) remained a royal favorite to the end of his life and after. As everything was falling apart, Tsarina Alexandra wrote many letters to Nicholas lamenting, "If only our Dear Friend [Rasputin] were still with us! He would know what to do!"

In addition, one of the most popular theorized causes of death of the crew was lead poisoning from poor quality food cans, similar to how the crew of the Temperance discover their food tins are tainted with lead.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: The concept is based on, as well as a heavy parody of, the heinously unfair and brutal legal system of Japan that was in use at the time of the series' creation. Not only is the way the trials work based on real life Japanese trials, but the brutal statistics (such as 99% guilty rate), harshness towards the defence, unfairly unbalanced advantage for the Prosecution and ridiculously chaotic claims are also all based on what was really happening in Japanese courts during the early 2000's, although of course, exaggerated. In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, the unfair system is at the center of the entire game, and after a murderer is nearly let off the hook due to the stupid nature of the way the courts run, a new system to bring back the idea of a jury into the courts is introduced. This is directly based on what was happening in Japan at the time of Apollo Justice's release, where the Japanese courts were switching over to a jury system.

She and a man called James McDermott, who also worked in the household as a handyman, were convicted of murdering Kinnear and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery, in 1843. McDermott was hanged; Marks was sentenced to life in prison but was pardoned after thirty years and moved to the United States. Anything beyond that is speculation; Atwood definitely invented the character of Dr. Jordan, for example, who could be considered the novel's second protagonist.

After that it borders on a Documentary of Lies. John Dodge really was an American-born British Army officer interned with RAF prisoners but he played no part in the murder investigation. Von Lindeiner, the Commandant, was not executed, he moved to London after the war. Most egregious was the depiction of Burchardt, the mastermind of the murders. Burchardt and Dodge face off in the climatic battle, Dodge armed with a pistol and Burchardt only with a rhinoceros hide whip. Dodge, nearly defeated, finally shoots and kills Burchardt. Burchardt was actually just one of the mooks in real life and received light punishment in the end. About the only facts in the mini series were that there was an investigation and prosecution of the murderers of "the fifty", John Dodge did escape from Sachsenhausen concentation camp after his recapture and Burchardt did own a rhinoceros hide whip.

In real life, the woman both men fancied was not the killer's wife, nor was she killed, and the murder did not take place onstage during a commedia dell'arte performance.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story / int_f489fad2	comment	The Creepypasta I'm the Only Worker at an Abandoned Theme ParkÂ has some very close parallels with the story of theÂ Lotus Isle Park. The Lotus Isle Park (AKA Hatchet Island) was an amusement park in the 1930s that was only open for nine months before closing down permanently after a string of accidents and tragedies (probably because it was shoddily built by some guys running an extortion racket to launder their money), starting with an urban legend of a kid getting launched out of the roller coaster, landing in the river, and drowning (in actuality, the poor kid only fell into the river and drowned). Two of the ghosts that haunt the park are a boy who fell off of the roller coaster, and children who drowned in the water park. Lotus Isle had a zoo and a performing elephant who went on a rampage after being frightened by a stunt plane. The abandoned park in the story has a zoo taken over byÂ Monster Clowns, and is periodically stormed by a massive creature whose arrival is heralded by an air raid siren. The only part that doesn't map is Dave, the spectre of a guest who never got into the park.
