It seems that the Best Picture Oscar of 2023, or the 96th one that will be announced on March 11, is unlikely to escape. Oppenheimer Make this year another year for movies based on true stories. or inspired by real events or real people Take home the top prize of the event

Oppenheimer The Story of Robert J. Oppenheimer Father of the atomic bomb Nominated for 13 awards and is the favorite for many important awards. Whether it’s the director, male lead, male supporting actor and great movies

This year, if you look at the list of movies nominated for Best Picture, you will find that There are works that you can tell if you just see them at a glance. There is an origin or inspiration from at least 4 out of 10 true stories. Oppenheimer, Maestro Leonard Bernstein’s autobiographical film Killers of the Flower Moon which is based on a non-fiction book (Non-Fiction) and The Zone of Interest Based on a book based on the life of a Nazi SS officer.

But if you look in depth in the details. Even though there was no official introduction or disclosure. Movies made or inspired by true stories or related to real people Or are the actual events not just this?

The Holdovers It is considered a half-time job. The autobiography The Past Lives is also inspired by real events in the life of director and screenwriter Celine Song. Anatomy of a Fall Director Justine Triet told The Hollywood Reporter that The plot is influenced by actual crimes. which she reads daily

The Holdovers The screenwriter, David Hemingson, revealed that some parts of the movie were half-baked works. autobiography When some conversations or situations Picked straight from his life.

If you look at it this way (with open eyes), this year’s Oscars is the stage for “real stories” by default because there are only movies that are truly “made up”. American Fiction, Poor Things And of course… Barbie

Make this year the movies that have origins, are made from, or are inspired by. or related to a true story both in clear and vague ways It received the same number of nominations as it did 10 years ago at the 86th Academy Awards, and even then Anatomy of a Fall Go out, it’s still the most. Since that Oscar anyway

In 2013, there were 9 films nominated for best picture, and 7 of them were related to “true” stories. American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Nebraska, Philomena, 12 Years a Slave and The Wolf of Wall Street There are only 2 stories that are fiction: Gravity and Her which are all sci-fi movies

And the movie that won the award is 12 Years a Slave

Continue the story in The Zone of Interest It’s been embellished a lot, but Rudolf Heuss really existed. And he and his family lived very close to Auschwitz.

Movies based on true events took over the Oscars in 2013, going further than what is usually the norm for the show. Forbes stated that In the history of the Oscars, 25 years before that Of the 143 films nominated for Best Picture, only 40 were based on true events. Even if you take into account movies based on true historical events, such as ‘Titanic’, that’s an average of just 1.6 films per year, although the number has increased in the last four years from the decade before 2013, when movies based on true stories that There were more Oscar nominations than usual. But the average during that period was only 1.2 stories per year.

If you don’t forget that before 2009, there were only five films nominated for Best Picture. You have to look at the number of true-story films that were nominated in that era as well. The numbers are still not comparable to the jump in 2013 because there has never been a year where more than 3 films from this group were nominated. Or if you open your mind a little. Some years, there may be 4 films based on true stories or “inspired by true stories” nominated, but when the opportunity is given to have more than 5 films on the list, the number increases. But it still wasn’t more than 3, which is about the same as the year where there were only 5 nominees. Until 2010, the second year of opening for 10 nominees, movies based on true stories increased to 4.

Justin Triot told The Hollywood Reporter that the plot of Anatomy of a Fall was influenced by a true crime. which she reads daily

In 2013, films based on true stories accounted for 77.7% of all films nominated. This is the highest number in Oscar history. Even if the latest year is included Anatomy of a Fall And including movies that “qualify” as well, the average is still lower because in 2013 there were only 9 movies nominated, and this year there are 10 movies at full speed.

throughout the past decade Movies based on true stories Five films won the Best Picture Oscar as well as fiction films: 12 Years a Slave, Spotlight, Moonlight, Green Book and Nomadland As for the number of nominees each year since 2013, it is 7-5-3-4-4-6-5-5-2 and 3, making it possible to say that, to be honest, Oscar doesn’t love movies from A special true story Both in terms of winning awards or being nominated. When it’s not superior to a movie based on a fictional story. that perhaps even less

If because the word “true story” is a word that has weight. Especially in public relations and marketing, it is strong and affects the feelings of those who hear it. Until it felt like it was more powerful than the movie on the other side.

Maestro romantic drama work About the relationship of legendary composer Leonard Bernstein and his wife Felicia Montialegre.

Viewers are always interested in stories that are based on true stories. The clear evidence is that The popularity of many reality television shows, including the fact that many movies How the story is inspired by true stories They were very successful.

It’s true Become a charm and the audience also paid attention, even though they knew in their hearts that It’s not a “real” story.

But I have to admit that This year’s Best Film Oscar It is an area of ​​movies that are based on or inspired by true stories. both in terms of quantity and the opportunity to win prizes Whether it is a job that is clearly announced or that is not clear

The movie is the work of Eighteen Four. which won the Best Picture Oscar last year for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once But the chance of repeating history is very slim. and much less than the award for the original script that was nominated

THE ZONE OF INTEREST: The film may be loosely based on Martin Amis’ 2014 novel about the life of Nazi soldier Rudolf Höss and his wife. who are trying to create the family life of their dreams at the house next to the Jewish concentration camp, Auschwitz. But what makes the story so frightening is that It is based on reality. Even though the story in the movie is heavily embellished, Rudolf Heuss really existed. And he and his family lived very close to Auschwitz. The movie was nominated for 5 Oscars, but likely missed out on the Best Picture award. It’s no less interesting than the award in the Best Adapted Screenplay category.

Then let’s see. Oppenheimer It will come as expected. And is it a tentacle?
