What’s your favorite movie based on true events?

 1. Schindler's List

because it shows the reality of the Holocaust without filtering or dramatizing it too much, it feels disturbingly real…Also I love that how only one single colored in the whole scene was represented to highlight this girl who's trying to hide…

In the last scene after saving more than 1,100 people, Oskar Schindler breaks down crying and says one of the most heartbreaking lines

2. Society of the Snow

  • More than the movie, the real event completely blew my mind. They literally survived for three months. They had nothing to eat, so they survived by eating the flesh of their fellow passengers who had died. If I were in that situation, I would honestly have given up.

3. 12 years a Slave

It’s a biopic based on the autobiography of Solomon Northup. The movie shows the brutality of slavery in a slow, uncomfortable way that feels real

4. SANJU

(see people have different opinions about whitewashing the character of Sanjay Dutt , Why I liked the movie is because of Ranbir Kapoor's acting ).

I've watched some biopics in India. Not mentioning Cuz people have already mentioned. Also , no biopic is 100% accurate

But I would love To mention DASRATH MANJHI for sure.

Rest MAJOR I have watched. And I haven't watched URI , shershah , So. :)..

True events means not only biopics may be some events too but I've watched rn or I have forgot.
