Biographical film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (618 words) |
 | A biographical picture— often shortened to biopic— is a film that dramatizes the life of an actual person or persons. |
| Most biopics are dramas but some cross over into the comedy, action and other genres. |
| A certain amount of truthfulness is expected of biopics, often to reduce the risk of libel, but the films often alter events to suit the storyline. |
