Last night, I saw the Mel Gibson movie, "Apocalypto". It is a very good movie and I highly recommend it (though it is a trifle violent). I would like to point out that it is inspired by actual events; and in an interesting "coincidence", before the movie I say the trailer for the Frank Miller movie "300" which is also inspired by actual events. This got me to thinking about all the other movies I’ve seen that were inspired by actual events; "Open Water", "Wolf Creek", "Ice Age", "Night of the Living Dead". All of these movies start out with a minor actual fact, then a 90-180 minute story is built around it. Then the producers can promote the movie as being "inspired by actual events" and everyone will go see it and mistakenly think that the entire film is a true story. This has inspired me; from now on all of my blog entries are going to be "inspired by actual events.
