I'm not sure specifically which story you are referring to. There are many works in 2019 that were based on true stories, such as movies or books. It could be a variety of things like a biographical film about a famous person or a documentary - style story about a historical event.
One example could be the movie 'Ford v Ferrari'. It was based on the true story of the battle between Ford and Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. In 2019, this story was brought to the big screen, following the real - life events, the challenges faced by the engineers and drivers, and the intense rivalry between the two automotive giants.
The movie 'The Fault in Our Stars' is purely fictional. It was created by the author's imagination to convey powerful emotions and themes, not based on real events or people.
Yes, '1408' is based on a true story. The story was inspired by a Stephen King short story of the same name. It's about a man who stays in a supposedly haunted hotel room, Room 1408, and experiences terrifying and inexplicable events.
Well, it's a bit of a mix. While it may be inspired by some true elements from 1899 such as the general state of the world, sea travel, and social hierarchies at that time, it also has a lot of fictional elements added for the sake of drama and mystery. For example, the overarching mystery plot might be a creative take on some historical uncertainties, but not directly based on a single true story.
