I think most movies that are based on true storys are full of BS !


I think most Movies based on a true story, are broadly , make a point of truth… yet are embellished…

Because “otherwise you could pretty much tell any true story in 15-30 minutes” And … call it a documentary.

I like and do not like “the Discovery channel”
The photography is great, Exceptional!
They always begin with a “possibility”…
That without “supporting facts”…by the end of the program… ( because they say so )… their topic and opinion is claimed as a Facts.

God bless you,

Sound of Freedom is a recent and powerful movie based on true events.

Looks like a good movie. I'm glad Jim Caviezel is acting again. He was kind of blacklisted because of being a devout Christian.

I like him too!
Aside from movies and speaking engagements he was in a series for 6 years (2011-2016) called. “person of interest”. I’ve seen it. An interesting twist.

The Curious Case of Natalia Grace

Challenging expectations, Investigating whether Natalia Barnett is an exploited Ukrainian child with dwarfism or a dangerous adult pretending to be a child.

~~~~~~

Most bizarre real life case I ever saw.

I started watching this last night. Intriguing cast and premise.

I used to watch Person of Interest every week when it first came out. That's where I first came to know about Jim Caviezel.

I found Tutankhamum on YouTube on the Shout channel.

It's a four part movie. I just finished watching part one. It's very well made, interesting, good acting and the Egyptian scenery is interesting. It stars Sam Neil who I always like.

P.S. Finished all of the movie...it was all good.

Watched Escape From Pretoria. During Apartheid and about two young Caucasian guys who were put in prison for opposing Apartheid. It was interesting how they managed to escape the prison.

I love movies that are based on true events. But not if they're widely exaggerated.

Schindler's List is very good and based on true events.

I've watched a few true stories about the Holocaust on Tubi. All were interesting and well made but can't recall the titles now.

I watched Backrooms yesterday. I want to go again to the movies and watch something else today.

I dont watch much of history movies on hitler and stuff like that.

I did watch about Ronald Regan one time on this show called Slow Burn.

Check out the Tubi app or website. They have thousands of free movies. I watch on my tablet. If you have a smart TV you can cast it onto your TV. There are all sorts of categories even a faith category.

I like going to the movies.

Backrooms was ironic.

I like to watch other things besides just Christian stuff or faith stuff.

I do like the Bible and Bible studies.

I’m already a person of faith so it’s like, I don’t really need those things personally.

Another movie I watched a few years back was Barbarian and it was a good movie reminds me a lot of how our flesh is.

By being good it was horrible. Either way I believe lot of people like different things and some people forbid people to watch some things.


I was seening chucky the doll movie made in the 90s on tv by the time I was 5-6 years old.
