About this Quote

This quote by James Franco speaks with the problem of adjusting a real story into a movie. It can be difficult to accurately represent the relationships between characters in a real story, as the filmmaker must count on research and interviews to gain insight into the characteristics in between the characters. Additionally, the filmmaker needs to also consider the audience's expectations and how to best represent the story in a way that is both precise and entertaining. It is a hard balance to strike, as the filmmaker should beware not to distort the fact while still producing an engaging narrative. Ultimately, it is an obstacle to properly portray the relationships in between characters in a true story, but it is a challenge that can be met with the ideal research study and innovative vision.
