Visualizations that show how true "based on a true story" movies are

I'd like to see Catch Me If You Can. Frank Abignale's stories apparently all fall apart under investigation, meaning his whole story and career where a hoax. I can't even be upset, his whole shtick was being a great imposter in the first place!

Why is this a link to a link? Why not just link the original?

Thanks! Should have linked the link!

True: Selma, The Big Short, Bridge of Spies

Not True: Imitation Game, Hacksaw Ridge, American Sniper

They missed a trick by not putting Fargo on there.

Ok, we've changed to that from https://kottke.org/25/05/0046769-a-series-of-info-visualiz above. Thanks!

@dang any chance of an update to the link this goes to?

Big fan of Kottke and his work but this time there's not much value add.
