14 Movies That Were Surprisingly Inspired by Creators' Personal Hardships (Ranker)

"Most artists draw inspiration from real life, but some creations are more directly inspired by specific experiences than others. Many filmmakers have adapted their lives to the screen, but not all autobiographical filmmaking depicts events from the distant past. In some cases, filmmakers are responding to events in real time. This often leads to disguised storytelling. Some filmmakers intentionally use their artistic medium as a form of therapy, while others are surprised by the emotional impact of making art out of their own struggles. In some cases, they choose not to discuss the real-life parallels until years after the film's release. Whatever the case, these movies are windows into the personal hardships of their creators, and while they are not always easy to watch, they do demonstrate the power of filmmaking to depict real-world experiences in innovative and surprising ways." - ranker.com
