I disagree with the proposition "Hollywood produces great movies, but they don't always tell the truth even it based on 'True Stories" because I think that, they are telling the truth but their give some modification towards some plot to make it more interesting. This is because what the producers main objective is to gain profits and fame instead of telling the world what is trully happen based on the stories.
For example, the movie Pain & Gain starring some of famous actor such Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie. Danny Lupo (Mark Wahlberg), manager of the Sun Gym in 1990s Miami, decides that there is only one way to achieve his version of the American dream: extortion. To achieve his goal, he recruits musclemen Paul (Dwayne Johnson) and Adrian (Anthony Mackie) as accomplices. After several failed attempts, they abduct rich businessman Victor Kershaw (Tony Shalhoub) and convince him to sign over all his assets to them. But when Kershaw makes it out alive, authorities are reluctant to believe his story.
Some scene were 100 percent the same with the real event and some are close, mean that the producer still try to tell how the real event was with some modification on some scene. As follow is the interview with the true victims conduct by MiamiNewTimes.
Were the kidnappers really screw-ups?
"Yes. The mishaps of the real kidnappers makes it easy to see why Michael Bay decided to turn Pete Collins' Pain & Gain article into a dark comedy, shifting the focus away from the more serious side of the Pain and Gain true story. With one victim, the real Sun Gym gang used too much horse tranquilizer. Vehicles that the trio used in the kidnapping attempts wouldn't start, including outside of Schlotzsky's Sandwich Shop, which was then owned by survivor Marc Schiller. A chainsaw that they planned to use to cut up bodies failed to start because they forgot to put motor oil in it (in the movie, an electric chainsaw becomes clogged with hair). They burnt out the engine trying to start it, prompting them to return the saw to Home Depot. These mishaps are in addition to it taking roughly a half-dozen tries to successfully kidnap me" Marc Schiller. -MiamiNewTimes
So i think that, the proposition above can't be accepted.
