The Problem with "True" Stories

[@FrameDevice]

Let me know what you all think of "true" stories. And let me know what else you'd like me to talk about in the comments! :)

It always seemed to me like doing a "true" story gave the story a facade of authory or gravity, regardless of the quality or content of the media. I always got this feeling of someone trying to manipulate me overall, in a clumsy way, just knowing it was a fictionalization of a true event. A lot of what you said helped me to understand what always seemed like an irrational gut response, and start to figure out which parts WERE irrational and which parts were kind of founded. So thank you!

Glad you liked the video! And you're right, that sense of authority definitely has the effect of "tricking" viewers into believing an ordinary story carries more "weight" than it actually does. Almost as if they wouldn't be as likely to care if they didn't think it was about something that "really" happened.
