	Biographical film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A biographical picture— often shortened to biopic— is a film that dramatizes the life of an actual person or persons.
		Most biopics are dramas but some cross over into the comedy, action and other genres.
		A certain amount of truthfulness is expected of biopics, often to reduce the risk of libel, but the films often alter events to suit the storyline.

	Biopic Films
		'Biopics' is a term derived from the combination of the words "biography" and "pictures." These films depict and dramatize the life of an important historical personage (or group) from the past or present era.
		Sometimes, historical biopics stretch the truth and tell a life story with varying degrees of accuracy.
		Big-screen biopics cross many genre types, since these films might showcase a western outlaw; a criminal; a musical composer; a religious figure or leader of a movement; a war-time military hero; an entertainer; an artist; an inventor, scientist, or doctor; a politician or President; a sports hero or celebrity; or an adventurer.

	Another Dick Biopic! - Cinematical
		In the 45th case this year of (at least) two competing movies about the same historical figure being made at the same time, another biopic of sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick has been announced, just weeks after news of a similar film surfaced.
		The first Dick biopic (That just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) was written and will be directed by 1980s one-hit wonder Matthew Wilder, and stars boring Bill Pullman as Dick.
		Currently untitled, the film is described as a "nontraditional biopic [which] will interweave the prolific author's life with his fiction and incorporate elements of his last unfinished novel, The Owl in Daylight", and will be written by Tony Grisoni (who, having also helped write Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, seems the perfect choice).

		During the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood, the 1930s and 1940s, movies issued from the Hollywood studios rather like the cars rolling off Henry Ford's assembly lines.
		No two movies were exactly the same, but most followed a formula: Western, slapstick comedy, film noir, musical, animated cartoon, biopic (biographical picture), etc. Yet each movie was a little different, and, unlike the craftsmen who made cars, many of the people who made movies were artists.
		Moviemaking was still a business, however, and motion picture companies made money by operating under the so-called studio system.
