A biography movie tells the true story of a real person. It has become one of the most popular film genres to watch because the actors playing these roles really do rise up to another level. Many of the best films ever are biopics starring an actor giving the best performance of their career. The key to a good biography is telling the story as accurately as possible to allow fans really get inspired by these actors’ extraordinary performances.
From modern-day New York City to Europe during World War II, the subject of the film is not as important as the classic performance itself. Every scene and all the images used in the biopics help bring the audience back to that era. Even the style of clothing and the way people talked matters. A good director can also help bring these period details to life.
With so many great biographical movies out there, do you think you know enough to take our five clues quiz?
Biographical Movies
Biographical movies are films that tell stories of nonfictional people during the most important era of their lives. Early biographical movies in Hollywood's past were not as popular as they have become in the last 30 years. Those classic films were dealing with telling stories of people from a long time ago, and it was hard to get an audience to enjoy them.
Those films have progressed into some of the best-written movies of all time. From early childhood to death, a biographical movie can tell the story of a person's life from beginning to end or just for a period or two.
