What I know about their arc doesn't seem to lend itself to that kind of storytelling.

Re: Scorsese to do Ramones bio-pic
Yeah, I imagine most biopics are unnecessary. People don't live their lives like they're in a movie—why would a movie that's not mostly fictional be any more interesting than just following around one of your friends for their whole life?Wolter wrote:What I know about their arc doesn't seem to lend itself to that kind of storytelling.

Generally speaking, biopics either have to amp up the fiction or limit their scope to a very short period of time, or they're just gonna be dull.Kory wrote:Yeah, I imagine most biopics are unnecessary.

I've lived my whole life like I was in a movie. Fuck they even made a movie about it called "The Truman Show".Kory wrote:Yeah, I imagine most biopics are unnecessary.
