āA biopic is a movie that dramatizes the life of a real, non-fictional individual. Short for ābiographical motion picture,ā a biopic can cover a personās entire life or one specific moment in their history. Topics for biopics are nearly endless, with famous figures from history, along with popular celebrities of late, being covered.ā from Studio Binder
From Studiobinder - āIn contemporary cinema, biopic movies seem to be everywhere. Old historical figures, musicians, politicians, as well as āregularā people dealing with extraordinary events. There have been more biopic films in recent decades, but theyāre nothing new. Biopics have been a staple in the cinema landscape dating back to its earliest days. So, what is a biopic, what do they usually entail and how has the genre evolved to be where it is today?ā
