Often, a movie claiming to be "adapted from a real thing" always feels unreliable. Hollywood has also been criticized for its use of real people and real events as gimmicks, in which it is filled with a large number of exaggerated jokes to distract audiences from the movie ticket price.
But at some point, the selection of film materials does come from reality, and movies of this genre are often unexpected. Sometimes even these kinds of films reflect some of the darker side of life. For example, we are going to talk about the following ...
10. Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS is not a fiction
If you've never heard of Nazi Werewolf, congratulations, because there's a reason this whole movie exists on YouTube. Note that we're not recommending it (it reflects one of the most dangerous jobs of all that exists, including sex, abuse, and gratuitous Nazi behavior), but it does exist. And there are sequels.
Ilsa was nominally a Nazi "scientist" determined to prove that women were more tolerant of punishment than men. And her methods of torturing people also include torturing naked people — the film is almost a 70s version of "The Human Skin Inn", and it is even worse.
True story
In fact, Ilsa Koch and Irma Grese were once wardens in a concentration camp for women's prisoners, and they were known to the people of the Third Reich for their appalling crimes. We will not enumerate what they have done here. Like Ilsa in the movie, these two so-called female scientists have despicablely used science as an excuse to cause endless suffering, which also makes the film "Nazi Werewolf" the only sexual abuse film we have ever known, although unbelievable, but it is indeed adapted from "real people and real events".
9． The Hunt for Red October begins with a more brutal story
If you don't know how to describe the '90s to your kids or siblings, this movie can be a great start. Except for the '90s, you don't see any scots playing Lithuanians, Alec Baldwin playing villains, submarine movies not bad movies.
Well, well, "The Hunt" is actually quite interesting: Sean Connery plays the captain of a new Soviet nuclear submarine with new technology that is still in the experimental stage. The captain attempted to defect to the United States with his submarine, thus ending what he saw as "a war without belligerence, only casualties." However, the American side thought he was preparing for an attack, and the truth was known only to Alec Baldwin, because... He was Alec Baldwin.
What is more bizarre is that in our opinion, the real events are far more exciting
and many. In 1975, Valery Sablin, the third officer in the entire Soviet naval hierarchy (commander of the district fleet), believing that the Soviet Union was in decline, unlike the cowardly defection of the Scots, decided to sail his frigate, the Storozhevoy, straight to the Baltic Sea and broadcast a radio to mobilize the revolution. That's right: Officer Sabrin did not flee, he actually wanted to start a revolution.
8． The opening scene of Final Destination is based on a real air crash
There are incredible business opportunities in the "Death Is Coming" series of movies that the crew has made a lot of money (at least enough to ensure the production of a sequel), but they are still so bad. The plot of the movie is set in the protagonist who "deceives death" through various actions, and the rest of the film is about how death hates being deceived. As long as there is "a good film idea", it is hardly an "idea", but the producers have made a lot of money through this method again and again, and they obviously know something that we don't know.
Obviously, the setting of the film never happened, but the first act of the story is indeed true: Roger Ebert pointed out in his review that the plane that crashed in the first film (the original deception of death) originated from the third largest air disaster in American history, the universal airlines flight 800.
The movie version of the crashed flight, although the flight numbers are different, they all crashed in the same place, and the wreckage is almost the same. Albert said he didn't want to "fall into clichés." If your cheap violent little yellow film is reproduced in the scene of the dead air crash, I don't think we will treat it as a kind of "customary". The only thing that makes people feel worse is how you can put up with your snake-like stuff compared to the "art" you create.
7． "50 First Dates of First Love 50 Times" (which happens to be) is a true story
The 2004 romantic comedy "50 First Loves," starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, tells the story of a brave and charming veterinarian who falls in love with a cute but somewhat eccentric lady who suffers transient amnesia from a serious head trauma. In the play, Drew Barrymore plays "Lucy", while Adam Sandler still plays his "usual silly * brain-dead character" (Note: No one has ever asked the top ten editors to write the introduction on the back of the DVD box of the movie...). ）。
The pinched head is the essence of the film: Lucy resets her short-term memory every time she sleeps, so Sandler comes up with new tricks every day to win her favor. I've been wondering why Sandler didn't use the same trick to chase girls, since he knew that worked, and Lucy couldn't remember what had happened the day before, and what was he doing... Space is limited, so let's take a look at what the real story looks like.
Michelle Philpots of Britain, who suffered two head traumas in 1985 and 1990, now wakes up every day and forgets everything that happened the day before. Like Lucy, Michelle got married after she was injured. Every morning her husband had to remind her that she was married, and usually showed her wedding photos.
From her own attitude, it may be a manifestation of the human spirit, or the Stubbornness of the British way to face difficulties. She said she enjoyed dramas like East Enders, though she never knew "what the story says." And although she can't remember getting married, she can still remember the day she met her husband.
Interestingly, some of the reports about her seem to have completely misunderstood the plot of the movie Groundhog Day.
6． Men Behind the Sun will be a nightmare that haunts you
As the first film to be classified as a tertiary film, Black Sun is the earliest example of what we now call a killing, which tells the story of Unit 731. Unit 731 was a World War II unit that conducted human experiments on Chinese and Soviet prisoners to measure the limits of their tolerance to pain, and they found it interesting to perform vivisection on unanessed captives. (Spoiler warning: it's not funny... ）
Unit 731 is real. Japan may have wanted to surpass the Nazis and intended to create a highly contagious Black Death to deal with Chinese. In addition to "peeling people alive", Unit 731 uses living people to test the power of weapons, infect prisoners with various diseases, and... Yes, you can see other acts in the movie if you want. But again, we're not recommending it.
5 and 4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho Psycho are both based on a unified serial killer
Although the two films are very different, both "Texas Chainsaw Killer" and "Psycho" have become the most influential horror films. When the latter showed the world a distorted ending and became the most successful horror film of all time, widely endorsed by the public. The former proves that as a horror film, you don't need any plot and performance, as long as you let a strong man run around the streets chasing women with scary things.
The killers in both films (including, in a sense, Buffalo Bill in The Silence) are based on Ed Gein, the murderer of the Wisconsin murders. What exactly made Ed an admirer in Hollywood? It is difficult to find a major reason, but what we can be sure of is that it has to do with his horrible appearance, his fascination with his insane mother, and his belt made of human nipples. He also made masks with human skin, suits with human skin, lanterns with human skin...
hey! Leather stuff is precious.
3． The prototype of Rocky Rocky is a tough guy
Sadly, it's often forgotten that Sylvester Stallone's career—mostly made up of nonsense—began with a complex but very moving story of psychological activity. In the story, a man wants to get people to notice his efforts and efforts at the last moment of the day. Rocky is such a story about losers who are always losers. It tells us that sometimes it's enough to try it once, even if you don't succeed.
In the '70s, there was an unknown boxer named Chuck Wepner nicknamed the Bayonne Bleeder, and if Rocky wasn't based on him, it would only be a coincidence.
Well, it's not exactly the same: the real Bride is a security guard from New Jersey who hasn't worked in a butcher's shop in Philadelphia. According to him, he also never skated or wore a turtleneck sweater.
So what are the similarities? Apart from the above, everything else is exactly the same! Bride fights a boxer (as Rocky did in Rocky III) and he struggles to win the game, even though he is standing in front of him the black heavyweight champion: Boxer Ali.
Fortunately, Mr. Budd got what he deserved: He sued Stallone in 1976, and they gave him a sum of money, the exact amount of which is unknown.
Maybe we'll have to call him "Mr. Wippner" later.
2． Jaws is a true story, but it may not be quite the same as you might think
Most people feel that the original "summer blockbuster" will not try to be real. No shark attacks as often and brutally, and not as large as a shark — let alone an aggressive bull shark.
But then again, who cares about reality? We will! Jaws is a cool movie with great soundtracks, but at the end of the day, we're talking about authenticity.
As we all know, Jaws is based on the 1916 Jersey Coast shark attack. Although the shark's offensive behavior in the film is exaggerated to create an atmosphere, the number of victims of the incident does not increase as a result. When the fourth man is killed by an unknown shark, the people of New Jersey are furious and launch a massive shark hunt to eradicate the "man-eating demon" and save tourism — just like the plot of the film.
Keep in mind that ichthyologists believed at the time that sharks were relatively harmless in mild climates. Someone even declared, "Even the world's largest great white shark can't bite off an adult's thigh." ”
When this statement is falsified, people's shocked faces are probably no less than the angry faces of the large predators in the classic movies.
1． To Hell and Back really happened
This time we have to skip the synopsis, because the synopsis is what really happened! About World War I American veterans
Audie Murphy's film "A Hundred Battles Returns" is directed by Audi Murphy, who is also a Veteran of World War II America – he himself... Starring in his true colors.
Speaking of Murphy's story, it's simply a replica of Captain America's snufficiency of the superhuman soldier serum. Like Stephen Rogers, who was 5.5 feet tall and weighed 110 pounds, he also applied for every branch of the military before he actually enlisted. After that, he got malaria. Because if you don't have a three-long and two-short one, no one will find war interesting. (Captain America is 6'2 tall and weighs 220?) ...... belch...... Feel free to... ）
In fact, Murphy is not a man of crazy experiences, but the most amazing thing is the incident that made him the highest medal of honor (those stories are really intimidating). At the Battle of Holtzwihr, Murphy's company reached the German advance line with only 19 men (originally 128 men), so he did everything that made sense for a soldier: send the remaining teammates to the rear so he could hold the front alone (awesome!). ）。 When the M1 carbine in his hand ran out of bullets, he climbed into a tank that was on fire, called for artillery support, and used the point 50 caliber machine gun on the tank to bring down the entire German infantry unit.
After that, he was shot in the leg.
Later, his phone line was cut off.
After that, he organized a counteroffensive in some way.
Why, then, when anyone was so frightened that he was so scared to kill an entire German infantry regiment? In his words: "They killed my friends. ”
So, for the "soldier of reason," we are "madmen." "Well done, brother.
