How closely does 'How I Became a Gangster' based on a true story follow the actual events?

It depends. Some parts might be very accurate, while others could be dramatized for a better narrative.

It can vary. Sometimes it's very close, but often some creative liberties are taken for dramatic effect or to make the story more engaging.

Scream is more about creating a horror - filled narrative rather than sticking to a true story. While it might draw on real - life ideas like the fear of being stalked or the mystery behind a killer's identity, it builds its own fictional world. For example, the characters and their relationships in the movie are completely made up, and the plot twists are designed to shock the audience in a way that is more typical of horror movies than real - life crime investigations.

The Departed takes some liberties with the true story. It uses the real - life inspiration of the conflict between the police and the criminals in Boston as a starting point. However, in terms of following the actual events closely, it veers off. The movie is filled with Hollywood - style drama, like the intense cat - and - mouse chases and the extreme levels of double - crossing. These are exaggerated compared to what probably happened in the real - life events that inspired it, but they make for a great movie.

The Departed loosely follows the true story. It uses the real - life backdrop of organized crime and police infiltration in Boston. But when it comes to the individual characters' arcs and the way the story unfolds in terms of specific events, it has deviated a fair bit. It focuses more on creating a thrilling and engaging story rather than a strict retelling of the true events.

It depends. Some cartoon gangster cars may have exaggerated features and designs that don't closely match actual cars at all.

The movie/book series doesn't follow the true story in a very literal sense. It uses the idea of a town with a troubled history from the true story. However, in order to make it a more engaging horror story, it changes a great deal. The true story might have been more mundane in some ways, like just a series of unexplained deaths over time. But 'Fear Street' amps it up with complex characters, a more elaborate backstory, and a web of horror that goes far beyond what was probably the reality of the original events it was inspired by.

Overall, the Kindred graphic novel is quite true to the source. There might be some tweaks for visual or narrative purposes, but they don't stray far from the core of the actual thing.

It's hard to say exactly how closely. There are likely elements that are very true to real events, but also a lot of fictionalized parts for entertainment. Maybe 30 - 40% is based on real things like the general setting of war and some soldier experiences.

Well, 'American Hustle' takes some liberties with the true story. It is based on the Abscam operation, but it embellishes the story. The movie focuses on creating interesting characters and a captivating narrative. So, while the basic framework of the FBI sting and the corrupt politicians is there, many of the interactions, the love triangles, and the individual character arcs are more for the sake of entertainment and not a direct representation of the real - life events.
