Bio Movies as Motivator to Lead a Bold Life
- Share via
Re “Hollywood Bio Hazards,” Feb. 27: Hollywood should be making more biographical movies, not less. That the movies are not totally accurate is irrelevant. Fictional movies give you no insight into how to live your own life. If “The Aviator” had been about a fictional character, I would have walked out thinking that the plot was ridiculous. That the events in the movie were unlikely to happen to a “real” person. Instead, I left the movie thinking that if even 10% of the events in the movie are correct, then Hughes lived an incredible life. The movie left me thinking we all ought to be living our lives more boldly (as he did).
