A biographical film, or biopic (/ˈbaɪoʊpɪk/; abbreviation for biographical motion picture), is a film that dramatizes the life of a non-fictional or historically-based person or people. Such films show the life of a historical person and the central character’s real name is used. They differ from films "based on a true story" or “historical drama films" in that they attempt to comprehensively tell a person’s life story or at least the most historically important years of their lives.
Because the figures portrayed are actual people, whose actions and characteristics are known to the public (or at least historically documented), biopic roles are considered some of the most demanding of actors and actresses. Ben Kingsley, Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, and Jamie Foxx all gained new-found respect as dramatic actors after starring in biopics: Ben Kingsley as Mahatma Gandhi in Gandhi (1982), Depp as Ed Wood in Ed Wood (1994), Carrey as Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon (1999), and Foxx as Ray Charles in Ray (2004).

Biography
Read between the lines – with trustful open eyes he
said
It’s surprising what you’ll find – he laughed and
burned them ‘to my head
I read the first sites – saw letters changing into
words
Saw sentences flying – pictures that I never could
describe
A closing chapter – sites and stories one and another
Paragraphs, some sorted as in a farewell letter
This book makes me furious!
Some lines cause extreme loss
Most lines are so beautiful
Seems to be written ‘bout one of us
But it caught me – no chance to stop at all
Each word is printed in such a dreadful clarified form
A closing chapter – sites and stories one and another
Paragraphs, some sorted as in a farewell letter
This book makes me furious!
Some lines cause extreme loss
Most lines are so beautiful
Seems to be written ‘bout one of us
The final chapter – ‘tough the story’s just begun
So while I’m reading the writing’s never really done
This book makes me furious!
Some lines cause extreme loss
Most lines are so beautiful
Seems to be written ‘bout one of us
Read between the lines
It’s surprising what you’ll find
So I read the story of my life
