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).

Hitler - The Rise of, presents A unique slant, profiling the life of Adolf Hitler as a child and his rise through the ranks of the National German Workers' Party prior to World War II. Although many have critiqued it as historically inaccurate it is an intriguing look into the personage that was Hitler and with the editing of a fellow Nationalist (Whom made the film far more parallel to the real history) the film is now far more articulate in following the life and rise of Adolf Hitler. **Disclaimer** Thus Film was directed by :Christian Duguay alongside the Writers: John Pielmeier, G. Ross Parker. I did not nor do I claim to have created or written this film. I purely present it as an opportunity for the public from around the globe to catch an insight into the great historical figu...

Welcome to The Discarded Image. A new online video series that analyses and deconstructs well known pieces of cinema. In this episode I look at the beach scene from Steven Spielberg's pop classic JAWS. Help support the videos - www.patreon.com/thediscardedimage Here's a link to the beach sequence without commentary - https://vimeo.com/122302722 Follow me: - twitter.com/julianjpalmer - www.facebook.com/DiscardedImagery - youtube.com/c/thediscardedimagechannel "Spielberg asserted his own role and deftly organized the elements of a roller coaster without sacrificing inner meanings. The suspense of that picture came from meticulous technique and good humour about its own surgical cutting. You only have to submit to the travesty of JAWS 2 to realize how much more engagingly Spielberg saw ...

Canal+, Spanish payment channel, issued a cycle of movies with the common link of the painting, "Pollock", "Frida" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" for its biographical character and “Far from heaven” for the relation of his stills with Hopper's aesthetics. The approach was to relate the cinema to his origins, with the first inventions that were using the persistence of the vision to create the illusion of the movement. The Praxinoscope for the movie "Frida", the Thaumatrope invented by Jhon Ayton Paris for Hopper's movie and the drawn animation frame to frame in case of "Pollock". Gonzalo Cordero de Ciria

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
