Det finns massor med bra filmer som helt och hållet baserar på en manus-författares fantasi, bok, serie eller liknande. Men för att få den där äkthetskänslan behövs ibland en riktigt bra verklig historia. På min topp-tjugo lista finns det två filmer som sticker ut extra mycket. Just för att dem är baserad på verkliga personer och händelser. Det är ”Into The wild” och ”Bronson”
Into the Wild:
Imdb – Based on a true story. After graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters who shape his life.
Bronson:
Imdb – In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael Petersen, the boy, faded away and ‘Charles Bronson,’ his superstar alter ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson – a scathing indictment of celebrity culture.
Klockren film. Skulle bara ha varit lite mer våld..
