So how much of the story is based on true events?

Omake Omatsuri FAQ
Just about anything that is not blatant fantasy... and even some of that is in a grey area. No, we don't actually visit anime worlds (we should be so lucky). Yes, we really are such dedicated otaku that if the opportunity arose, we would probably wait until we were done watching the current video. Strips pertaining to the cat's behavior are almost always literal, although her reasons for doing so may not be exactly as we present them.

Is The Ring based on a true story?

Snowblood Apple FAQs
No, NONE of the movie is real. It's not "based on a true story" which half of Hollywood pretends to be because it keeps it real, man; it was based on a Japanese movie (by Nakata Hideo) which itself was based on a Japanese book (by Suzuki Koji), in which the Rachel character was male and the Noah character was a confessed serial rapist. And no, we're not making that up.

Where did you get the idea of writing Francis Rain? Is it based on a True Story?

Margaret Buffie
I got the idea from clearing away that old garbage dump on an island near our cottage and finding the pair of spectacles. It was those small wire glasses that made me decide to write the story about a girl who, when she puts on the glasses, goes into the past to help a ghost solve a problem and find some peace. It is not based on a real story, but on fragments of things I've read, dreams, bits of my own life, and, of course, mainly my imagination - which has always worked overtime!

Was Romeo and Juliet based on a true story?

Shakespeare FAQ at Absolute Shakespeare
Yes but this was not "Shakespeare in Love". Romeo and Juliet was in fact based on the life of two real lovers who both died for each other and lived in Verona, Italy in 1303. Both the Capulets and Montagues existed in Verona at this time and Shakespeare is reckoned to have discovered this tragic love story in Arthur Brooke's 1562 poem entitled "The Tragical Historye of Romeus and Juliet" .

Is the story in the book The Valkyries a true one?

FAQ
The book's central idea is true (meeting the angel), the journey to Mojave too, but much of what is written is fictionalized. Nevertheless, the most important episode - the meeting of the angel - really did happen, and I left a statue of the Lady of Aparecida in Glorieta Canyon, near Borrego Springs, CA.

Is The Last Samurai a true story?

The Last Samurai Frequently Asked Questions - Hollywood Lot ...
Like with James Cameron's Titanic, The Last Samurai is a fictional character story placed in an actual historic event and time setting. While the story of Captain Algren isn't true (just like the story of Jack and Rose isn't true in Titanic), the events that surround Algren and the time period are true. In 1877, the Samurai lost their final major battle, during a rebellion, when they went up against more modern weaponry. This factual event is part of the basis of the telling of The Last Samurai.

Is Memoirs of a Geisha a true story?

Is that engagement story true?

Frequently Asked Questions about Adam Rifkin
Do you really think I would tell such a story if it weren't true? Actually, bottom line: I tell the truth sometimes. And no, I did not get engaged because Michelle got sick of my calling her a PASSLQ. By the way, we did finally get married in 1998. So now she can't leave me without some serious legal maneuvering...

Do you know if the character and the story of Mulan is a true story?I think I heard somewhere that there was actually a Chinese girl by that name who saved the city.  I have a nice collection of stone tools I have found over the years.  People have said Indians used them but they appear to me to be from cave man days.

Is her story true? Yours? What was she like?

B?thory Erzs?bet - Elizabeth Báthory: Short FAQ
It's mostly speculation. The few documents that exist are not available translated into a language I can read (alas, my Hungarian is limited to "köszönöm" and "jol" and "jo napot" and what I vaguely remember from my youth). Her diaries may be more fiction than fact. At least one person has told me that he has seen them and held them in his hands, and has relatives who can read them and have translated portions.

I was reading that there is an epidemic of yeast concerns. Scary story or what? Is this true?

FAQ threelac | candida | yeast concerns | help now!
I think it is wiser to look at facts because numbers can be distorted by whoever is trying to paint the picture. It is well recognized that yeast infections exist. I don't know if there is a crisis and I would be pleased to see more data on this. The wiser course is to educate yourself about it.

Was "Shakespeare in Love" a true story?

Shakespeare FAQ at Absolute Shakespeare
Not really. First, there is no historical record of such a love affair ever having taken place. Second, the film is a work of plausible fiction. Third, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway at age 18 and penned Romeo and Juliet which features in the film in 1595 at the age of 31. Thus any depiction of such a love affair during the writing of Romeo and Juliet would have to have meant Shakespeare was cheating on Anne.

Is the story of your ex-girlfriend with the multiple personalities really true?

Sean's FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Yes, it is. She really has multiple personalities (after all I saw with my own eyes in the year that I spent with her, I believe it's true), she really did plan on killing me in my sleep, and she really did cheat on me with my best friend and dump me for him. And so on.
