Horizon: Life Story (1987)
Accurate Depiction of Real Life Event
This movie does a good job of presenting the story accurately. The discovery of the double was one of the most consequential scientific discoveries of all time. Without its discovery, many things today such as genetic engineering or modification would not be possible. I think the movie did a good job at showing the tension, or 'the race', that was felt between its characters and is realistic to what actually happened. At least according to Watson, the movie depiction of real-life events was very accurate. The kind of rivalry depicted in the book was contrary to the ideal presented to the public, of a grand brotherhood of researchers all sharing their discoveries and cheering each other on. The rivalries are intense and there is even outright theft of ideas. Overall I feel that the production value of the film seemed somewhat low, even accounting for the fact that it is quite an old movie, but is made up for in the fact that it is accurate to real-life events.
