Hollywood
has reputation for over-romanticizing and enhancing real life events. Drawing people into the theaters these days
seems to require taking a mundane story and exaggerating it into a thriller
that makes the viewer reconsider their own lives. But what if the real life
story was already wild enough to invoke that intrigue in a reader? Disney
formed a billion-dollar movie franchise by following real events rather closely
while adding very few details. From costuming to locations and names, director
Gore Verbinski entertained millions of people around the world with the Pirates
of the Caribbean franchise while sticking true to the facts of the stories.
Red is my hook, yellow is my bridge, and orange is my thesis.
