Yes, 'Monsieur Verdoux' is based on a true story. It was inspired by the case of Henri Désiré Landru, a French serial killer. Landru lured women through lonely hearts ads during World War I, then killed them for their money. The movie uses this real - life horror as a basis, but also adds its own elements of dark humor and social commentary. Charlie Chaplin, who played Verdoux, used this true story to create a complex character that made the audience question their own morality and the nature of society.
Well, in the real story that inspired 'Monsieur Verdoux', it was mainly about the crimes committed by a certain individual. But in the movie, there is more of an exploration of the character's psyche. The real - life criminal was just a cold - blooded killer, while in the movie, Verdoux is presented as a man who has his own justifications in his mind for his actions. Also, the movie may have changed some of the specific details of how the victims were targeted and killed to fit the narrative and the overall tone it was aiming for.

I recommend " Escape: From the Time Travel " and " Others Practice Martial Arts, I Create the World " to you! They were all fantasy novels. The main characters had all transmigrated to the source world and possessed the power of the source. Ling Yi, the main character of " Escape: From the Time Traversal ", gained the ability to see through everything and absorb the power of the origin, and had invincible combat ability. The main character of " Others Practice Martial Arts, I Create the World ", on the other hand, created a super small world and obtained the power of the world's origin, becoming stronger. I hope you will like my recommendation.
I recommend the book "The Life of a Princess in the Palace." The female protagonist was a 21st century mixed-race beauty who died of exhaustion and traveled to an ancient era to become a princess.

The Shawshank Redemption was a film adapted from Stephen King's novel directed by Frank Delabonte. The film deeply reflected the complexity of human nature and the injustice of society by telling the story of the protagonist, Andy Dufresne, who spent 20 years in Shawshank Prison and finally obtained freedom through his own tireless efforts and perseverance.
The image of Shawshank Prison in the movie was a place full of negative energy, full of bullying, violence, and discrimination among prisoners. At the same time, the prison administrators did not treat the prisoners well and often punished and tortured them. In this environment, Andy Dufresne became a different person. Through his own efforts and wisdom, he won the trust and respect of the prisoners and eventually became a "legend" in the prison.
Andy's image represented tenacity, wisdom, courage, and the brilliance of humanity. In the face of the bullying and torture in prison, he did not give up his faith and hope. Instead, he kept looking for solutions to the problem. He constantly improved his wisdom and ability by reading books, communicating with prisoners, and studying psychology. In addition, he bravely faced the challenge of the prison administrator and finally succeeded in obtaining freedom.
The image of Shawshank Prison in the movie presented a distorted and unfair state, while Andy's image represented a kind of justice and the power of freedom. His image not only reflected the injustice and distortion of human nature in social reality, but also brought hope and enlightenment to people.
In the novel "The Storyteller that Walks the Heavens", Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were brothers. After they met, they said,"I have a younger sister, but she is not my biological sister.""I also have a younger sister, but she is not my biological sister.""I have a ring, and inside it is Yao Lao. He is my teacher." "I have the Ancestor Stone. Grandpa Marten is inside. He is my brother." "What? You are actually the main character of Martial Yin Yang!" Thus,"The Storyteller Walking in the Heavens" didn't have any plot where Tang San and Lin Dong were brothers. However, if you like Douluo Continent novels, I can recommend similar novels to you, such as Crossing the Plane Douluo Continent, Douluo: Tang San Suspects I Am His Father, etc. Some of these novels may involve brother plots. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
