Based on a true story

One of my favorite movies that is "based on a true story" is Sybil. The movie is about a girl named Sybil Dorsett who's childhood was horrendous, and therefore has over thirteen different personalities. The fact that it is "based on a true story" makes it more terrifying and definitely makes it more realistic. At the end of the movie, Sybil is cured of her multiple personalities with the help of her psychiatrist. In reality, Sybil had WAY more than thirteen personalities and was never cured. In fact, she moved into the house right next door to her psychiatrist. For me, the words "based on a true story" enhanced the movie experience because it made it sounds like it was the whole truth.
