Yes, it is. The movie draws inspiration from real - life scientific concepts and research, especially in the field of eyes and evolution, to create a fictional story that has roots in truth.
Well, in a sense it is. The movie 'i origins' has elements that seem like they could be true. It combines scientific exploration, such as the study of the eyes, with human relationships. While it might have some fictional elements for the sake of storytelling, overall it gives the impression of being based on real - life concepts.
The origins can be traced back to World War II aviation folklore. Pilots would sometimes blame unseen 'gremlins' for mechanical problems in their planes. These were sort of like little imps that caused chaos. The movie 'Gremlins' then took this idea and expanded on it, creating a more detailed and fictionalized world of gremlins with their own unique characteristics.
The Slenderman originated from Internet horror culture. It started with some photoshopped or doctored images that showed a tall, thin figure with long arms and no face. These images were then accompanied by fictional stories that added to the mystery and horror of the character. People on various online forums and communities shared these images and stories, and it quickly gained popularity as a new horror icon.
