Well, 'Poor Things' is indeed based on a true story. The filmmakers and writers might have done a lot of research on the original events or people involved. They then use this factual basis to build up the characters, plot, and the overall mood of the movie. For example, they could have used real - life accounts to shape the main character's journey, making it more relatable and engaging for the audience. By basing it on a true story, it also allows the creators to explore certain themes in a more profound way, as they are grounded in reality.
I'm not sure specifically which 'poor things story' you are referring to. It could be about a person or an animal in a difficult situation. Maybe it's about someone who has faced hardships like poverty, illness or misfortune.
No, Poor Things isn't based on reality. It's a fictional tale that might draw inspiration from various sources but doesn't have a direct connection to any true events or individuals.

The narrative structure, with its four books, allows for a deep exploration of the protagonist's life and the society around him.
