Biography

No I am not talking about my Biography :) Jokes apart, you need not be Mahatma Gandhi or Abraham Lincoln to some one make your Biography. You can be Aron Ralston or Daniel Pearl who are stuck between Life and Death; eventually out of these two one is alive and another is Dead. coming straight to point these are true inspirations behind 127 Hours and A Mighty Heart.

It takes a great deal to turn biographies into movie and I should say the directors are upto mark for both these movies.

"127 Hours" is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. He suffers Over the next five days Ralston and finally discovers he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary. He scales a 65 foot wall and hikes over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers, family, and the two hikers he met before his accident. How did he survive is interesting Point. A good film by Danny Boyle.

On January 23, 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl is to fly from Karachi to Dubai with his pregnant wife, Mariane, also a reporter. On the day before, with great care, he has arranged an interview in a café with an Islamic fundamentalist cleric. When Danny doesn't return, Mariane initiates a search. Pakistani police, American embassy personnel, and the FBI examine witnesses, phone records, e-mails, and hard drives. What happened to him is Great Tragedy. Angelina did live to the role of Mariane. film some what looks like biography, but its OK to watch.

Though Cast Away and Dasvidaniya arent inspired by true stories they look similar but have good commercial elements in them. (because you can induce as much fiction into those stories Unlike here)
