What real-life events can never be made into films?

The death of Kenneth "Mr. Hands" Pinyan in Washington State in 2005.

Which is funny since, if we really cared about those dead kids, we would have done something about gun control a long time ago.

I think you’re wrong, OP.

Christina Crawford's life after the Mommie Dearest book and film.

Just about everything that happened while Trump and his administration was in office. It's way too implausible to be believed!

R1 that was made into a movie

The 5 Dallas police officers murdered and 9 wounded by a BLM activist in 2016

Bill Cosby's rape trial. Feminists would come at them for exploiting the trauma of women, black people would question their motives for telling the story of an evil black man instead of a good one, it would be anticlimactic since he was released from prison. It would just not go over well at all.

I'll probably be wrong about this, but I'll say COVID-19 if it ever ends. I can't see anybody in their right mind wanting to sit down for 2 hours and relive this shitty fucking pandemic.

One of the YouTube comments calls it [italic]”Fifty Shades of Neigh!!!”

The Quinn Cummings Story

R10 - also see the Indie Film The Death of Dick Long which has a similar theme

There was a documentary about a Swedish (?) lady who… related to animals, and ended up an outcast in her village, living on a decrepit farm. She’d done porn and had a terrible childhood.

It really left you with a bleak sense of alienation and loneliness. Hard to shake off. I mean, many of us have gone through low times in our lives, but hopefully not like that. It was very sad. And strange.

They just made a movie about the mass murder of 35 people in Tasmania in the 1990s-it just won an award at the Cannes Film Festival. Apparently it follows the life of the killer and ends just seconds before he begins the massacre. I honestly think that would be the way to do it-depict the leadup and/or the aftermath of a horrible incident but do not depict the incident in any way. And I don't think anything is or should be off limits as far as making a movie-if it bothers you don't see it. I have wondered about whether anyone would dare make a movie about the Orlando massacre.

The Rachel Dolezal saga.

Larry Nassar sexually assaulting hundreds of female gymnasts.

Natascha Kampusch's captivity.

R7 you big LIAR. The perpetrator of the Dallas police murders was not a "BLM activist" as you claimed. He liked some social media things put out by some black militant groups. I guess the truth doesn't matter to people like you.
