Poll Suggestion: Face-Off: True Events on Screen: Accuracy vs. Entertainment
Intro:
In the Netflix series Monster (2022), the story of Ed Gein is dramatized with some notable exaggerations. For example, at the beginning of the series it is suggested that Ed Gein killed his brother, for which there is no historical evidence. In another scene, an interrogator confronts Gein with the claim that he may have had up to 200 victims, whereas historical records confirm only two murders. Most of the objects found in his home were made from grave-robbed corpses, not his murder victims. These dramatizations serve suspense and narrative purposes common in true-crime and fact-based productions, but they deviate significantly from verified historical facts. How do you perceive the deviation between historical facts and dramatized portrayal in series and films based on real events? Please discuss it here.
