  There are many risks that follow making a movie about a real life event. However, sincerity that can't be found in made up movies and detailed structure based on facts brings great inspiration. One movie that was based on a true story was the 2003 box office hit, "Memories of Murder". It dealt with the mysterious serial killings in the 1980s.
