Just watched the Devils Double now, very interesting but sad film in some ways.
I always wonder though how much of that genre of film is actually real and how much is fabricated |

Carve her name with pride. The story of war widow Violette Szabo, who was a secret agent during the Second World War.
The film contains a poem by Leo Marks and I think it is so beautiful
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

Yup Aileen Wuornos - the Nick Broomfield documentaries about her are also captivating. |

I watched that the other weekend... I would imagine very little was fabricated to be honest.
Great performance by Dominic Cooper. |

I loved Awakenings too.
A number of films based on true stories have go on to encourage me to explore the subject matter further and find out everything there is to know about it, which is never a bad thing, as these films are rarely, if ever subjective.
Those that have done so are:
Hillsborough
Bloody Sunday (The James Nesbitt one)
Wall Of Silence
The Murder of Stephen Lawrence
We Are Marshall
Murder in the Outback
And The Band Played On
Also the recent film about the Busby Babes and the Munich Air Crash was very moving.
I do also watch comedies, but not many comedies are based on True Stories.
